Need Configuration Handler for DLL Assembly

I have a single-DLL assembly made up of multiple classes. I want to
use a configuration handler, but am not sure where to look. This is
not an ASP.NET application, so I can't use web.config.

Thanks.
 
Hello,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, you want to use custom configuration
data in a DLL assembly which will be used other than ASP .NET application.
Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding. I'd like to share the
following information with you:

1. You can create a .config file for your component with your custom
configuration data in the folder where the executable file (which load the
DLL) resides. Please refer to the following KB article for detailed
information:

HOW TO: Use Custom Configuration Data in a Visual Basic .NET Component
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=321585

2. If you want to create a section handler of you own, you need to extends
the interface IConfigurationSectionHandler. I believe the following article
and sample are helpful:
