How to use application configuration file?

M

Hi,
How do I use a configuration file with <codebase> to
deploy a C# assembly as a cab file (in an html) ?

The config file has the <codebase> element which points to
the proper cab file. The html page and the cab file are in
the same location.
But upon invoking the html page nothing happens.
Even the FusLogvw.exe does not register anything.
Any help will be much appreciated.

The complete assembly is as simple as this
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace testAssemblyNS
{
public class Class1
{
public Class1()
{
MessageBox.Show("ctor");
}
}
}
here is the complete html
<html>
<HEAD>
<Link rel="configuration"
href="http://samir2k/csharp/testAssembly.dll.config"/>
</HEAD>
<body >
<OBJECT ID="myAssembly"
classid="testAssembly.dll#testAssemblyNS.Class1">
</OBJECT>
testAssembly
</body> </html>

here is the config file
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-
com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="testAssembly"/>
<codeBase version="1.0.0.0"
href="http://samir2k/csharp/testAssembly.cab"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>

TIA
mqs
