Using standalone DLL in a web application

If I have built my DAL as a standard DLL and want to use it in my web application, why must I have to specify my SubSonic provider and repeat my connection string in the web.config. I already have the connection string in App.Config and don't want this to be duplicated.

thanks,

Trevor

The execution environment is the web, so you need to have the bits setup in web.config. The generation (design-time) environment is your class project - so when you generate up the code it needs to see the config.

You can use a config file and set the "src" tag if you like, but I'm not sure what the problem is here - it's just text...
