I am wanting to pull text from web.config. I have added the following code <add key ="AssignedToText" value="Please submit a ticket to assign any users to this specific group."/>to my web.config file. I want to display this text on the bottom of an ascx page. How can i go about doing so? How do code it into the ascx.cs file and how do I code it onto the ascx file

Use the ConfigurationManager to get keys from the web.config like this:

public string AssignedToText = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AssignedToText"];

Then in your .ascx page you can do this:

<%= AssignedToText %>

Declare it at the class level by making it public string ... in your .ascx.cs file, then your .ascx page will be able to see it. Set the value in Page_Load if you want, doesn't matter, so long as variable is declared at class level of the user control
