Custom ConfigurationSectionHandler and type

I've written some before but never ran into this. I happened to write a
simple custom ConfigurationSectionHandler implementation in my single .exe
file. Thinking since it's in the executing assembly I can forget the assembly
name. It didn't work. I had to specify the .exe assembly in order for it
to load. Can someone explain?

Thanks

No, that won't work, since you need to make this config section
handler available to the .NET config system - the .NET runtime will
call your code. It doesn't help embedding it into your own EXE - it's
still the .NET runtime calling into your own code, so you need to make
that code visible and known to the .NET runtime.

That's right. Thanks!
