Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

       Dim EM As New IronDomainModel.EM

I would start by reading the Developer's Guide.  On about Page 89, there is a section called "Understanding the App.Configs".  Also, read the Release Notes.  There is a breaking change in the App.Config file.

Julio, we're not sure why your app.config isn't being found.


For reference, here's material from the Reference Help that delineates the search sequence for the app.config:

The probing sequence for this file is as follows:

1) Look for a loose .config file located in the same directory as the application executable.

 

2) If not found then the framework attempts to locate an embedded app.config file in the entry assembly.

 

3) If not found then an attempt is made to locate an embedded version of the app.config in the 'AppHelper' assembly.

 

4) If the file can still not be found then a generic default is supplied by the framework. This usually results in an error, since the default configuration will not have sufficient information for your application.

 

This search can be short-circuited by specifying either the ConfigFileLocation or the ConfigFileAssembly property, which will cause the search to start at the specified directory location or assembly.
