You might consider writing to an XML file in your VDIR if you have
permissions to do that on the server. You'd want to be sure that your file
isn't named such that it could be served by IIS though or your users may
download your settings. You could use a .config file extension to help with
that.
Another idea would be to use web.config for the read-only settings
(connection string) and then persist the read/write stuff to a database.
That's probably what I'd do.
