xFx dll

["jebusyoda" <jebusyoda@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greets,
I'm developing a plugin (dll in vb.net) for an application. I have
sucessfully compiled a standalone listener app. I have sucessfully added a
module for the xFx dll to my plugin dll. All runs well till I call my
listener.start() method. The plugin throws an exception.

As you can see the path name for finding the xFx.dll.config file is not
being found. I have the config file with the xFx.dll in the same folder as
the Application and the plugin. I see in the xAP Framework xFx V2 Help file
that
ERSP.Utilities.Configuration.LocalFileModuleSettingsProvider.GetPropertyValues(SettingsContext
context, SettingsPropertyCollection collection) is the culprit. Can someone
give me a VB.net example of how to use the
KCS.Utilities.Configuration.ConfigSettings.ConfigFileName to pass to my
code. OR, tell me that I'm barking up the wrong tree!
TIA
...JJG
