Replacement for an application specific web.config when moving from a iis web user control to a dnn cutom module.

Hello,

My user control uses an application specific web.config file to define  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings which are used by the user control to connect to a non dnn database web service.  I made the usercontrol a dnn module. In order to verify that the uploaded module does work on my development dnn server, I have temporarily hard coded the NetworkCredential username and password rather than accessing their values through ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["uname"] and ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["pwd"] in the view.ascx.cs file.

I need to define ConfigurationManager.AppSettings without modifying the dnn site web.config file.

I am not able to modify the production dnn web.config file nor can I expose the web service database username/password through code which may be viewed by an end user accessing the site.  Is this something that can be placed in the settings user control ?  Can one point me to an example ?

thank you for your help in this matter.
