Hi Leon,
here is a sample which was provided to me by John Moshakis in these
newsgroups.
I hope it can hope you as well.

In the Web.Config file add something like the following.
<!-- APPSETTINGS
This section sets the database connection properties.
-->
<appSettings>
<add key="BLA.ConnectionString"
value="database=DB;uid=username;server=Delphi-DotNet;pwd=password" />
</appSettings>
in your code perhaps add something like this.
function DA.CreateDBConnection():SQLConnection;
var
Connection: SQLConnection;
begin
Connection := SQLConnection.Create;
Connection.ConnectionString :=
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings['BLA.ConnectionString'];
result := Connection;
end;
