How can I load a config file from different assembly in asp.net?

I am using the Validation Application Block form the Enterprise Lib, and have my validation rules defined in a validation.config that is located in the same assembly as the entity objects (so I can use the same rules in both the backend and on the website).

But how do I get the validation.config from the entity assembly into the website assembly's web.config?

If your question is about loading config files that are not the standard App.config or web.config files, the ConfigurationManager has a method that you can play around with.

System.Configuration.Configuration config =
     ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(@"pathToFile\Config.dll");

This would try to load a file called Config.dll.config.
