question about webconfigurationmanager.appsettings

This works in a C#ASP.NET Website application:
string strSQL = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnString"].ToString();

However if I try using this statement in a c#dll class library, I get the
error:
'Object Reference not set to an instance of an object'

I've looked on the internet, and whilst a number of people have registered
this problem, no-one has yet provided a solution. Can you provide one please?

Regard,

Ahmad

Is it possible that C#DLL security settings are tighter than C#ASP.NET ones,
in the sense that the DLL(in its natural state) doesn't have permission to
read a web.config file, whereas a C#ASP.NET file does?
