Accessing App Settings from Assemblies

[Craig]

My team is building an application in VS.NET 2005. To avoid a monolithic app
and spread the development workload, we have a relatively small framework
application that instantiates module assemblies as needed; each "module" is a
relatively independent silo with its own UI, BL, and DAL that shares a common
DB. The DB connection string is an app setting in the app.config. How can I
access the connection string from the assemblies, either by accessing
properties of the exe, or by direct access of the app.config file? What's the
best approach?

Thx in advance.

Never mind. If I opened my eyes and read the post 5 below mine, I would have
some clues about how to proceed. If I can't get anywhere with those ideas,
then I'll update that post with additional questions. This thread is dead.
