Possible Duplicate:
Reading dll.config (not app.config!) from a plugin module.

I have two different projects, say A and B. I need to use some classes of A in B. So I added a reference to A in B. When I tried to run the application, I stated getting Object reference set to null exception. On investigation, I found that when I access classes of A from B, control goes to project A, but C# still uses config file of project B instead of using project A’s config file. How do I get around this? How can I “include” A’s config file in the dll?

I have gone through this blog but I feel it is a very dirty way of doing it. There ought to be an easier way!

Let me know if the question is unclear..

    I believe .NET will always load the app.config file associated with the application rather than any libraries. There are complicated ways of specifying your own locations for config files – or just using your own configuration framework instead of the built-in one – but I don’t think you can just ask .NET to load a config file per DLL.
