This call

// this._cfg is an NHibernate Configuration instance
this._sessionFactory = this._cfg.BuildSessionFactory();

Gives me this exception at runtime (NOT at compile time).

Could not load file or assembly ‘NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.”:”NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle

OK so far. But the thing is, this code is running in a class library project, and I have referenced NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle (along with all the other NHibernate dll’s) in that project.

Wierder: I can fix the exception by additionally referencing the NHibernate dll’s in the Windows WPF executable project that calls my class library. But the Windows WPF executable contains no code that directly uses NHibernate (as evidenced by: It compiles fine without any NHibernate references). So what’s going on? Apparently it’s insufficient to reference NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle in the project that actually uses the NHibernate stuff. Anyone know why?

    I wouldn’t reference the castle byte code factory at all; just ensure it (and all other needed dependancies) are copied to the output directory using a post-build step.
