Custom Control and ConfigurationManager

[JontyMC]

I want to create a custom control that queries the database specified by the connectionstring in the ConfigurationManager of the project that will use the custom control. How can I get a handle on the ConfigurationManager from the custom control?

You could probably create a Property with a ConfigurationManager type and get the page that includes the user control to set the property. I haven't tried it, but it seems logical...

Good idea. In the end I decided to set a property to be ConnectionString and set that from the page. Thanks for suggestion though.
