Hi @,

i try to use NHibernate with VC++ 2005.

It works so far, but only with the configuration file hibernate.cfg.xml
It doesn't work with app.config?
The application throw a exception "please define dialect"...

Is app.config a C# special?

I want enable log4net in my application and I read in the docs, that's only
possible with app.config.
Is it also possible in hibernate.cfg.xml?

Any tip is welcome.

Regards Ray

hi rayburks,

I don't understand the "only with the configuration file hibernate.cfg.xml", maybe you can elaborate with it further.

nh config will first check if you have the ocnfiguration in either app.config or web.config(for web), then it will try to open the hibernate.cfg.xml in your bin path.

The exception "please define dialect" could be misspelled in your config/cfg file? Care to post your config files?

Thx for your help.

I find the problem.

In VC++ is app.config : application.ext.config.

Now I see the log messages.
