Hi!
My report has a reference to an assembly of a class library I did. This class library has a config file, classLibrary.dll.config, where I set some parameters, one of these being the "initial path" to the project's folder(for example, project folder is myProject, and you would use the initial path to say it's in c:/projects/tests). When I preview the report everything works fine, but when I publish it I get this error:
Absolute path information is required.
I guess it's not reading the dll.config file, so it can't see the initial path value and concatenate it with the project's folder. I'm supposing this because at first, I forgot to copy the dll.config file to the Microsoft Visual Studio 8/Common7/IDE/PrivateAssemblies folder and I got the same error when trying to preview the report. Copying it to this folder solved the problem. So I think I'm not placing the dll.config file in the rigth folder (I'm copying it to Microsoft SQL Server/MSSQL/ReportServer/bin). If I don't use the config file, I mean, if I put the absolute path directly in the code, everything works, but this is just something I can't do! Can anyone help me
Thank you!

Hi!
Still have the problem... When I try to preview the assembly location using Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location, it shows me the rigth path to the dll file. When I try to see it from the published report, I get #Erro on the textbox. Is this write
Thank you!

Usually they can help you..
Hint:
Stop Reporting Services and WWW-Publishing, delete all old Logfiles, and restart the services. So you can easily find the right logfiles..

Hi!
It still can't see the config file... My class library has two classes, Class A uses Class B. Can I use only Class A ddl or should I put both dll files in the rssrvpolicy.config
Thank you!

Hi!
Thanks for the post, I'll take a look on the log files... But I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to do what I'm trying to do. I'm doing all this because I can't have in my code an absolute path to a xml file configurable by the user. I know that, if it was a web page, I could use Server.MapPath("file.xml") to made it relative to the project path. Can't I do something like this with a Class Library Or is the config file the only solution
Thank you!
