using System.Configuration;

static string connectionString = 
    ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConn"].ConnectionString;

Yuu only need WebConfigurationManager if there are several Web.Config files in your project using data connection strings:

What's the difference between the WebConfigurationManager and the ConfigurationManager?

You can use the WebConfigurationManager to read connection string value from web.config

Code Example:

using System.Configuration;

string connString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ToString();

Make sure you have added the System.configuration reference to your DAL.
