Solution 1

You should have the ConnectionString in your web.config file of your web project.
Class library you are referencing from the Web project should read from the Web.config file.

Hope it helps :)

but ConfigurationManager is not working in class library can u plz give me suggestion how to refer to web.config and is this method is good?

you need to add System.Configuration dll as reference to you class library and you could use this following method to grab the Conncetionstring by passing the connection string name,
namespace Utilities
{
using System.Configuration;

public static class ConfigurationReader
{
#region Public Methods

///

/// Gets the key value from configuration file.
///

/// <param name="key">The key.</param>
/// <returns>
public static string GetKeyValue(string key)
{
return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[key];
}

#endregion
}

}
