loading dll config file when it is referenced in web services

Question

I have created a WCF web service which has references to some class library (BO.dll,BLL.dll,DAL.dll) ,and invoke their methods . one of the libraries(DAL.dll) need a config file to read some settings like connection string . then the config file is located near to the dll files . but when I use the service, it has error which the "could not find file C:\windows\microsoft.NET\FrameWork\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\SampleService(some temp folder)\myConfigFile.config"

I should say that, dll code read the config file as a simple xml file. and extract the settings.

why it looks for in this address ? where should I put the config file to be accessible by the dll ?

there are more settings in config file. I need a separate file for dll configs. — saeed shokoohi, Nov 20 '13 at 14:42

It is because for DLL you need to use your webservice's configuration file for DLL if you are reading connection string using System.Configuration.ConfigurationManger.AppConfig class.

Otherwise you can reading manually.
