I am new to ASP.NET, C#, and 3-tiered development and would appreciate some help.

It appears that the XML configuration files are read from disk each time new "module" class is instantiated - is that true? Since it does not appear that these setting would change frequently, is there a good reason for reading them each time? How can the current implementation be improved?

Thanks,

Ernie

Ok, I see now that they these values are cached one instance per module for entire application.
