in k2; Referencing a dll that depends on a config file to operate properly

In my urge to solve the problem i did the following: 

I placed the required config file in all the Possible directories k2 could use.

I also placed the dll in the GAC.

but still it didnt work

You have put the config file somewhere on the server and load the file in your code. I don't remember exectly how, but something ala ConfigurationManager.Load(filename) or similar.

Google is your friend. :-)

You mean i do the following

place the following code in the dll constructor.

{

System.Configuration.ConfigurationFileMap fileMap = new ConfigurationFileMap(strConfigPath); //Path to your config file
System.Configuration.Configuration configuration = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedMachineConfiguration(fileMap);

}

can you be more specific regarding the config file location on the server

Somewhere = anywhere where it can be accessed by your process - including read right by the K2 service account.

 If you had read the code you pasted in your post, you would see that the path is stored in strConfigPath...

Thanks cato
