Read connection string from web.config


How can I read a connection string from a web.config file into a public class contained within a class library?

I've tried:

WebConfigurationManager

ConfigurationManager

But these classes are not recognized within my class library.


Solution

  • Add System.Configuration as a reference.

    For some bizarre reason it's not included by default.
