providers.config Assumes Types Are In The Same Assembly
-------------------------------------------------------

         Key: IBATISNET-47
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATISNET-47
     Project: iBatis for .NET
        Type: Bug
 Environment: SharpHSQL data provider, Win32, .NET v1.1
    Reporter: Rick
 Assigned to: Gilles Bayon 
    Priority: Minor


In one's providers.config file, the 'assemblyName' attribute of the <provider/> 
element is used to name the assembly that iBatis.NET will look into to discover 
all of the rest of the types that describe that provider. 

The 'parameterDbTypeClass' for the SharpHSQL ADO.NET provider is the SqlDbType 
class from the System.Data namespace of the System.Data assembly. All of the 
rest of the SharpHSQL ADO.NET provider classes (such as it's IDbConnection, 
etc) are in the SharpHSQL assembly.

Is there an easy way to say (in effect, 'whoah, look in the named assembly for 
all the other types, but look in the System.Data assembly for this class'? 
Perhaps if the value assigned to the 'assemblyName' attribute was a fully 
assembly qualified Type name the parser would look into the inline assembly 
instead of the top level one (set to by the value 'assemblyName' attribute').

I'm using the latest SharpHSQL binaries and the 1.1.458.0 build of iBatis.NET 
(pretty old I know).
