How can encrypt the web configuration file ... so I don't want the connection name is appeared. How to do ncryption of web config file.
View 1 RepliesI have looked for ideas on this and read several posts but none of them seems to be because the problem is that web.com (my host) doesnt allow us to update web.config on their server programmatically. I can use example codes and encrypt them on my local pc but heres the error i get when I run them on the live site:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. (machine.config)

View 7 RepliesI am having trouble connecting to a ms sql database on the server. The hosting company said that the .sql file was imported successfully, but when I try to use the 'login' or 'create account' features im getting an error page saying:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed.
I am sure all the connection info is correct so it is really frustrating trying to work the problem. I have listed the connection string in my web.config file to see if anyone can see anything wrong with it.
I have this in the web config file <connectionstrings> section. Why is there an add and then remove and then again an add...what is it trying to accomplish here? and in the second code section, I use that string in a sqldatasource control. Second question: Can I just use the name attribute value "localsqlserver" form web config file, in place of the connection string in the data source? is it why that attribute is for?

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to encrypt the connection strings in my web.config. I'm following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2w117ede.aspx
however when I get to the part with the command:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/MyApplication" -prov "MyProvider"
it keeps complaining:
"The configuration for the virtual path '/MyApplication' and site 'Default Web Site' cannot be opened
Failed to map the path '/myapplication'
Failed!
I'm fairly sure I've followed the instructions correctly. I created the project named 'MyApplication' directly in the 'C:' root.
Perhaps I should be following a different set of instructions?

View 1 RepliesI have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?
View 1 RepliesI'm running into a really annoying problem with my Linq to SQL project. When I add everything in under the web project everything goes as expected and I can tell it to use my existing connection string stored in the web.config file and the Linq code pulls directly from the ConfigurationManager.
This all turns ugly once I move the code into its own project. I've created an app.config file, put the connection string in there as it was in the web.config but when I try to add another table in the IDE keeps forcing me to either hardcode the connection string or creates a Settings file and puts it in there, which then adds a new entry into the app.config file with a new name.
Is there a way keep my Linq code in its own project yet still refer back to my config file without the IDE continuously hardcoding the connection string or creating the Settings file? I'm converting part of my DAL over to use Linq to SQL so I'd like to use the existing connection string that our old code is using as well as keep the value in a common location, and one spot, instead of in a number of spots.
Manually changing the mode to WebSettings instead of AppSettings works untill I try to add a new table, then it goes back to hardcoding the value or recreating the Settings file. I also tried to switch the project type to be a web project and then rename my app.config to web.config and then everything works as I'd like it to. I'm just not sure if there are any downfalls to keeping this as a web project since it really isn't one. The project only contains the Linq to SQL code and an implementation of my repository classes.
My project layout looks like this
[code]....
Every time I try to make the default constructor look like the first way, it always auto changes back to the second way once I make a change to the file unless the DBML is inside of a web project.
I will explain the my current yet simple architecture of my application(s). At the moment I have my main web application as a separate project. I then reference the CoreBLLDAL (Business Logic and Data Access) Project so that several projects can have access to the BLL/DAL Project.
Within the CoreBLLDLL Project I use TableAdapters for my DAL.
I have just upgraded to VS2010 and I would like to make use of the Config Transforms, allowing me to have a separate web.config for test and production - however, TableAdapter get the connection string from the Settings.settings file.
How can I change the TableAdapters to get the connection string from the app/web.config file? I read that you can change this within the designer file for the TableAdapters by using ConfigurationManager, however, I tried this but I do not have access to the ConfigurationManager namespace. I presume this is because the project is a class library and not a web application - I am not too sure.
Is aspnet_regiis.exe secure? If i encrypt using aspnet_regiis.exe, will it automatically decrypt the string and wont give any error? Need an insight into this stuff.... Is Rsa the best option or wat? Wat's the best way to encrypt/decrypt programmatically?
