Subsonic 3 Class Library & Winforms App Null IDataProvider BUG

Question

I have got a class library project and a winforms app.

Everything is getting geerated fine and my Winforms app references the class library but as soon as I run it and try to retreive data it comes up with dataprovider is null.

The one thing to note is that I do not have a app.config in my Winforms app only in the class library. Do I need one in the Winforms app and if so what do I put in it?

Thanks

UPDATE: I think I have found a bug in Query\Select.cs

    public Select(IDataProvider provider, params string[] columns)
    {
        //_provider is null
        //provider is populated correctly
        this.sqlFragment = new SqlFragment(_provider);
        _provider = provider;
        SelectColumnList = columns;
        SQLCommand = this.sqlFragment.SELECT;
    }

Yes, you need an App.config in your Winforms app and you put your connection string there. It's worth noting that an App.config is pointless in a class library EXCEPT when you're using SubSonic :), which will pull one from the project.

Class libraries don't have their own configuration - they pull their config from the execution environment.
