1That's was a not good enough application example. Better use web.config `ConnectionStrings` section. – Yuriy Rozhovetskiy Nov 30 '11 at 11:27

This advice not depends on application type. You'll save a lot of time for implementing and much more time for support your application if you will not store connection strings in unobvious place. – Yuriy Rozhovetskiy Nov 30 '11 at 11:40

Are you talking about the configSource attribute for the connectionStrings element? You can then store config settings in separate config files, relative to your app folder.
