  Accessing Web.Config from a separate solution

  Mar 27, 2012 03:42 PM|LINK

  Hi,
  
  I have two solutions, one is a class library and the other is a web application, and I want to get the connection string from the web.config file to the class library as I am developing a custom membership provider. I am using Framework 4.0 and MS Visual Studio 2010. 

  Thanks

  you should be able to use

  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["KeyName"]

  inside class library project and it should read web.config file of refernecing asp.net web project

  hope this helps...
  

  Cheers!

  Yes...

  suppose web.config of asp.net web project has conenction string as

  <connectionStrings>
     <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="your connection string details" />
  </connectionStrings>
  
  then, in class library project u can read it as

  string strCon = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

  hope this helps...

  Cheers!

  suppose u r simple creating a class library (dll) then u can use this code to read web.config connectionstring...

  when u add this dll in web application project, this code would read web.config where this dll is referenced

  hope this helps...
