My question has to do with the use of values from the Web.Config file. Part of the site I'm working on is now in .NET and I am migrating the code over to .NET. I have used the Web.Config to store the ConnectionString and broken up the code into tiers. The ASP / ASP.NET code is the presentation layer, the .NET Components and COM Interop interfaces provide the Business Layer and Stored Procedures house most of the Data layer. When I call a .NET Component from ASP to update a database table, the business layer usually extracts the ConnectionString from the Web.Config and processes the request. How, if possible, can a .NET Component used as a COM object in ASP still retrieve this ConnectionString from the Web.Config? If it is not possible to do what I am asking, what is the next best approach from an object oriented perspective?

We did this because we have a Windows service that calls our class library, and the classes need connection strings. 2003-08-23T00:57:37-04:00
