    Web Forms has GetConfigSettings(), but for web services, I’d guess you’d need something like this:

    #IF Defined PBDOTNET THEN
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection cs

cs = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
SQLCA.DBMS = cs["ConnectionDBMS"]
SQLCA.DBParm = cs["ConnectionDBParm"]
SQLCA.AutoCommit = (Lower (cs["ConnectionAutoCommit"]) = "true")
SQLCA.LogID = cs["ConnectionLogID"]
SQLCA.LogPass = cs["ConnectionLogPass"]
SQLCA.ServerName = cs["ConnectionServerName"]
#END IF

    I’m pretty sure this was working code at one point, but I abandoned it long ago for GetConfigSettings(). It should at least get you going in the right direction, I hope.

    Good luck,

    Terry
