NHibernate.Cfg.HibernateConfigException

Exception Details:

NHibernate.Cfg.HibernateConfigException: An exception occurred during configuration of persistence layer. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\system32\Config\hibernate.cfg.xml'.

Reason:

By default window services set the default directory to the %WINDIR%$\system32. We need to change out default service's directory to wherever our service running.

---Solution 1---

Environment.CurrentDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

---Solution 2---

string configPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["HibernateConfigPath"];

string path = configPath;

if (!Path.IsPathRooted(configPath))
{
　　string basedir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
　　path = Path.Combine(basedir, configPath);
}

//we can get the correct path in 'pathToUse'
