Then sometimes it would be a good idea to develop a class specially to access configuration settings, something like a ConfigManager... what this class can inturn do is to access Web.Config file in its constructor to retrieve your configuration settings and fill up private variables and in turn expose them as properties... The advantage of having this approach is that if you decide to change your source for these settings then you do not have to go to every page and change the way you access the settings you just change your class... Other than this there can be potential situations in which you might decide to encrypt some values in your web.config file later... This security enhancement would otherwise cause all your pages accessing this information change... During such situations it would be ideal to have a class like this... To add icing to the cake you can make required member variables static so that the class's instance need not be created every time... Also do try to make sure that every call to your property should not need to query web.config file to access values or else they may degrade performance... PS: This is a design tip, it may not be perfect design for all situations these are just some of my generic thoughts, if you have anything to dispute please feel free to drop me an email Vishal Joshi Microsoft MVP .Net If You Think YOU CAN...
