Hi;
Here is the situation. We have a dll that is an AddIn to Word. Some of our
customers will not allow us to place the file winword.exe.config in the
directory winword.exe is in for security reasons.
We can't place anything in the winword.exe directory.
We cannot have a file winword.exe.config that Word would use for the entire
exe.
So in this case, what is the suggested way to get config information to our
dll. We can create a file lib.dll.config and place it in the same directory
as our dll, but that doesn't get read. We could specifically look for that
file - but I want to use what ever method Microsoft recomends for this
situation.

Hi;
Since no one came up the "correct" way to do this we are presently opening
the file as a standard xml file and making xpath calls on it. If I ever find
out the official way to do this I will post here. Otherwise, I guess it's
roll your own.

Asking again and hopefully now it is marked for managed NG support.
