How to get connection string from app.config in another class library project?

Question

how do I get the connection string from app.config in another "class library project"

in the same class library I can use this code :

 DAL.Properties.Settings.Default.BayrueConnectionString;

but the issue is that I cannot get it from my web app.

thanks

I think there is no more elegant way than this. Add a static helper method to your class library which returns it.

public sealed class Helper
{
    private Helper()
    {
    }

    public static string GetBayrueConnectionString()
    {
        return DAL.Properties.Settings.Default.BayrueConnectionString;
    }
}
