Adding class library to website

[Fresno Bob]

Hi I am used to using the App_Code folder to put my DAL and BLL classes.
However I want to move toward using separate dll's so I can start doing
things like Unit Tests and using Sandcastle for documentation.

My class library DAL project contains 4 .vb files, each one containing a
single class, which maps to a DB table.This builds OK.
I then create a website and add the class library project to the website. I
then in the website a reference to the project. This builds OK. And I can
see the DLL in the bin folder of the website.

When I go to add code I can't figure out how to "reference" my DAL - it
doesn't appear in the intellisense. I know this will be stupid but I can't
figure it out.

Regards, Chris.

I'm an idiot - I forgot to add the word public before the class name.....

I have a class library (my data access layer) which I have added as a
project to my website. How do I pass my connection string from my website's
web.config into the dll. What is the "correct" way to do this? Regards,
Chris.
