Class Libraries

[Jim Heavey]

I have a web application which accesses Class Libraries in another project.
Can I add an "App.config" file to my Class Libraries project and be able to
use that configuration information from my web application which has a
reference to the Class Libraries project?

My issue is the connection string to my database. I have been placing it
into the web config file and having my web application read it an pass it
to the class out of the class library....rather then do this, I was wonder
in my Class library to read that information out of it own config file.

You thoughts would be greatly appreciated...


Thanks

Your class library can read the web.config.

string connectionString =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];
