How to change the config file to be used by the current application?

by: José Joye | last post by:

Hello, I have an assembly that is used by a VB6 application. This application can be a normal exe or an ActiveX (called through CCW). My assembly needs to get extra info from a config file. In order to hide it from the VB client, I want to link the config file to my assembly and not to the applicaction. In that sense, the config file will be called <myAssemblyName>.dll.config and will be located in the same directory as my assembly dll.
