hi harsh

• In web.config of webservice you have to put a connection string and used that to access db in webservice itself. Access that connstring like;
• System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings.Item("DatabaseConnection").ConnectionString
• Use it in ur connection n do all operations here.
• Then add webreference to ur appl and access all functionality from there only.

reference the System.Configuation Namespace
here is a good link for this

Hi Reena,

Thanx
i have try this but not working.
i have add a connection string in to the web config.
Now i want to give a connection string reference in to the wcf webservices class files.

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings.Item("DatabaseConnection").ConnectionString


in web services class file not accept this type. in webservice cs file not accept configuration manager.
it's only possible to .aspx.cs file and .cs file but not possible to define configurationmanager in webservice class file.
