Accessing Web.Config from design mode in VS.NET

[Patrik Löwendahl]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a server control with a custom designer. I would like it
to get information from the web.config file when working with the control in
design time in Visual Studio.NET.

Specifically, I've registrerd a custom web.config section with information
used to render the server control.

How do one go about to read it?

Use the ConfigurationSettings object e.g

Dim myDBConnectionString As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DBConnection"

where the "DBConnection" variable (or whatever you want to store) is held in the "appsettings" tag of your web.config

Well that works fine from runtime, but it doesn't trigger in designtime

also it's not an appsetting I'm retreiving, it's a custom web.config section
