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?

ADO.NET :: How To Use Connectionstring From Web.config

Jan 2, 2011

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

[Code]....

to remove old events from the database

For other pages I need something like

[Code]....

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?

C# - ConnectionString From App.config Of A DLL Is Null

Sep 4, 2010

I 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

C# - Use Connectionstring From Web.config In Source Code File?

Mar 15, 2011

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?

WebMatrix :: Use Database.Open For ConnectionString From Web.config?

Aug 12, 2010

As 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.
