How to add dll into GAC having config file

I have created class library project into dotnet framework 4.5. I have added new file - app configuraiton file and connectiong string is mentioned inside as a key/value.

Now, I need to add this dll into GAC and use into some other application.

Please suggest me how i could add this DLL with configuraiton file so, it should work completely ?

NOTE: this dll will be used in some SSIS and other applications. please suggest how i could use configuration file.

Thanks

Solution

  • a short answer - you don't. it's not the way.

    If your DLL is kind of sdk, than its consumers should config the use of it. If it's part of an application then it may use the installed application's config.

    look at other sdk-s (such as log4net) to get the idea.

    Good Luck,
