I know this might be a very basic question, but maybe thats why im having problems finding the answer. Right now I'm creating database connections in my source files by doing something like this:
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=...Password=...);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(String.Format("SELECT * FROM Table;"), con);
con.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
But this means that if I choose to change databases it will be a major pain in the ass. Do you guys know how to use the connection string from a web.config file instead?
how can i encrpt database password and store to Visual Studio's connectionString areaalso, i would like to know how can i set all config in config file and how the program can read.
i want to get all connectionstring defined in web.config
var dk = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings;
problem .i am define 2 connectionstrings in web.config but upper code return me 3 connectionstring
dk[0] = LocalSqlServer (dont know where to come )
dk[1] = connection1 (Define by me )
dk[2] = connection2 (Define by me )
so how i can get only 2 connection from Web.config
I have inherited a VS 2008 project that hosts 5 services in a web directory and am attempting to add a new service. The existing services all work well, and my service is working except when I tried to add authentication like the existing services have using the membership.ValidateUser method. The SOAP request runs for ~18 seconds, and an exception (listed in full below) is thrown with a "network-related or instance-specific error". Other services validate the user, run some code and return in about 500 milliseconds, I think it is safe to assume I am hitting a timeout.
What makes this odd is that the new service lives in the same web application directory as the old services. It uses the same web.config file. I had been intensely reading posts and documentation related to the "network-related or instance specific error" until I noticed the Data Source in the connection string was not a name I am familiar with.
I changed the Data Source to be the name of the machine where the services run (thereis a database called membership on there), and I instantly got kicked out with an exception because the database login credentials were incorrect. Still confused as to why the new service would have this problem, I set out to find this data source. Running the SQL 2000 Server Network Utility doesn't list this instance. osql /L only lists the (local) instance. How do I find this instance? Why does my service not see the instance as the other ones do? More information listed below.
Server is Server 2003 Standard SP1, IIS 6
SQL Server 2000 is the DB
Each service is a C# Windows forms project (is there any valid reason to do this?) that has been changed to output a class library.
Services inherit from the webservice class.
A final project in the solution is an ASP.NET web application that has dependencies on all the other projects and hosts the asmx files which simply refer to the C# classes from the other projects.
Authentication is using Membership.ValidateUser against SQL server 2000. The web.config contains this:

The exception is here:

I was merging my web.config file and one I downloaded for open source forums, as it told me to. I copied the different lines myself, but now I'm getting three compile errors in my file.
Here are the errors:
1- The 'compliation' start tag on line 47 does not match the end tag of 'system.web'. Line 205, position 4.
2- Tag was not closed. (On line 47, column 4)
3- Expecting end tag </compilation>. (On line 205, column 3)
I'll also post my web.config file below.

I have a connectionstring in my web.config <add name="HeimkinoVerbindungszeichenfolge1" connectionString="Data Source=SERVER;Initial Catalog=Heimkino;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=*******;"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
This itself is working when using eg the SQLDataSource for a Gridview or similar.
Now I need to access this DB with different scripts and work with that database.
Eg I need to run this comand in a page_load against the DB

to remove old events from the database
For other pages I need something like

for some userauthentication things this should just create a recordset I can work with then.
Is there a way to realize this using the connectionstring in the web.config (and if so, How???)
If this will not work, how can I run such queries?
I have a website about to go live. I'm wondering what I should be doing about the connectionstring in the web.config. Do I obfuscate it and it so how?
View 3 RepliesI have a class library that contains a valid connectionString inside the app.config. Inside that class library I want to use it with
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NAME"].ConnectionString
My ASP.net 4.0 framework application references that DDL and retrieves data from it. I want create a Entity Framework 4 DataContext within my DDL with the ConnectionString from the App.config. (I do not want to pass the connectionString from my ASP.net application in every single method. (I'm using ObjectDataSources))
However, this line inside my DLL throws a NullReferenceException.
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NAME"].ConnectionString
I have the following in my web.config
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ActiveDirectoryConnection" connectionString="LDAP://ActiveDirectoryDomain1.com" providerName="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider"/>
</connectionStrings>
I need to add a dropdown box to my login page that allows the user to change the connectionString to a different string, e.g. "LDAP://ActiveDirectoryDomain2.com"
In C# code behind how do change the connectionString value?
More info:
The problem I am having is that there are 4 other web.config settings call that one connectionString. For example:
<activeDirectorySecurityContextSettings connectionStringName="ActiveDirectoryConnection" defaultADUserName="ReportUser" defaultADPassword="password"/>
I have built an ASP.NET (.NET v4) application in VS 2010. It is working just fine. But when I try to create deployment package (so I can deploy it in our test IIS 7.5 Server), it gives me error like this,
Error 1 Could not open Source file: Could not find file 'C:11-2 estobjDebugCSAutoParameterize ransformedWeb.config'. 0 0 test
Thing is in past, I had deployed the SAME application using the SAME method.
I am new to asp.net and wondering if anybody can help me defining SQL Server 2005 ConnectionString in web.config file and call/read anywhere in application on any button.Kindly provide me code example.
View 3 RepliesAs mentioned in this tutorial (http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/tutorials/5-working-with-data), I tried using my own connectionstring from web.config.
I got this error: "Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0."
The tutorial suggests to use: Database.OpenConnectionString("SmallBakeryConnectionString") method
Instead you should use Database.Open("ConnectionStringName").
Ref: http://cytanium.com/forums/yaf_postsm18_Connection-string-problem.aspx
The API Document is missing Database.Open method and also Database.OpenConnectionString info needs to be modified.
I want to setup the connectionstring of the SqlDatasource of a dropdown list at runtime, eg. Page Load event. I have install MySQl ODBC driver, System DSN name as "MySQL_Employee" If I have an entry in Web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="mysqlConnection" connectionString="DSN=MySQL_Employee;UID=john;description=connection to employee database;server=empServer;database=employee;port=3306;" providerName="System.Data.Odbc"/>
</connectionStrings>
I encrypted my connectionstring and store at web.config file. Then I bind Gridview with sqldatasource control, cannot bind because of sqldatasource don't know the(encrypted) connectionstring.
View 5 Repliesi'm working on already built asp.net webapplication. in the web.config for connectionString section i have seen this
<add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="3abcde12n3kd03kldwqaswe45tdw4fo23003ld3ddfot0lkdpe2d" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
can anyone tell me on how this encryption done? i know the standard way of encrypting using aspnetregiis.exe which replaces the entire connnectionString section of the web.config.
I just deployed my database to my remote server. I am trying to create a connectionstring to the remote server and it won't work. I am using godaddy. I kept having this message: could not establish a connection to the database. Here is the connectionstring for the local server:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true"

I'm creating a multi-tenant Asp.Net MVC 3 Web app, and using EF4.1 code first for the db model.For development I'm happy to use SqlServerCE in App_Data, and for production this will move to Sql Server 2008.
Say my context is called "MyModels", by default code-first looks for a connection string called "MyModels" in Web.config. This can be told to use a file in App_Data or changed to access a database in SQL2008. All fine so far.
But because of multi-tenancy, I'd like the SqlServerCE filename to match the unique id of the tenant (so App_Data would have "client_x.sdf", "client_y.sdf"; Sql Server 2008 would have separate databases). I can't work out how to direct to these different databases.
I've tried MyModels inheriting from DbContext and supplying a connection string (using a 'placeholder' conn string in Web.config and replacing "{clientId}" with the unique id), and I've also tried setting the connection string in the MyModels constructor:
base.Database.Connection.ConnectionString = xxx;
but this never seems to work. I always get the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
( it's not yet 'configured' to use SqlServerCE, and so is trying to connect to Sql Server)
Tracing the code, Database.Connection.ConnectionString hasn't been read from Web.config at this point, so I can't search and replace that, and, possibly, it's getting overwritten by the 'placeholder' conn string later in the pipeline.I reckon this must be quite straightforward and I just can't find the 'hook'.
I am doing SOA architecture and the data base is in service side ie.within the project(website 7)
how can i can mention relative path for the data source ?
OleDbConnection aConnection = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\sathiyabalu\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\WebSite7\App_Data\alumni_member.mdb");
I have 2 connection strings which connect to the same database. I used the exact same syntax for both of them, the only difference is the address which they point at.
The "ApplicationServices" connection string functions just fine.
The "GoMelodyEntities" connection string produces Keyword not supported: 'data source'.

Is there a way to confige IIS to open a database(s) at server level and other application just reference the database handler(pointer)? For an example in Tomcat or Resin, we can specify a set of database souece in the configuration file so the Tomcat or Resin starts, these database will be opened. And rest of applications can reference these datasource handler/pointer in their individual application web.config files.

I have deploy my web site, it contains a project!
in MyWeb there are all the aspx page and some entites datamodel, in MyApp there are the class with function like "getter data from DB" and there is a entity data model.
afeter the deploy, I have only the web.config and the connection string for the entity datamodel....itīs run ok, read/write the data on the DB.
The problem is with MyApp.....after the deploy it is a dll file and I donīt have the app.config and the entity inside it donīt run, not read/write nothing on the DB.
There arenīt error or messager but not read/write the data in the MyApp project.
all run on the iis 7
now...the question is:
I lose the connection string (in app.config) after the deploy?
Can I put a entity in the MyWeb and read it in another project (myApp)?
ps: for connect to DB I use not the c# code:
var db=from x in AccessDB.Example select x;
