I 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 am preparing for an Access2007 db conversion at the beginning of the year and would like to know what the best process would be for connecting to the sqlserver2005 database. I have read about adding the connection string to the web.config file. I have also read about using ADO.NET and put the connection information into a class and not the web.config file.
I would like to hear from others as to what you have used, are using, or plan on using for a webapp (vs2010), and why so I can get an understanding.

My question is, when I want to connect to SQL using a "trusted connection" in the Connection String, what user will actually be passed into SQL?
I thought it would pass my logon details, but it is coming back with an NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON error, which seems to point towards it not passing in my logon.
What is the most correct way to save your connection string when using the n-tier approach ? Right now I have two windows app and one web app using my DLL library, what I'm currently doing is to create a static
method inside my dal "GLOBALDAL"
inside I'm making this check:
Code:
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current != null) ...
if httpContext.Current is null
That's mean that one of my windows applications doing the request, if so I get the CN from a file otherwise it's mean its the website knocking on my door so I get the CN from:
Code: System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Application["ConnectionString"]
I am thinking of changing it all and just set properly in my DA layer that expose the CN as a string. But I fear of security issues. So what is the correct way?
I have the following code in vb codebehind for updating, inserting, and reading from an sqldatabase using the "Using" statement. I have noticed in some forums where instead of using "Using Objconnectin as New SqlConnection", a plain declaration such as "Dim objConnection as New SqlConnection" is used. What is the difference in just declaring them and using the "Using" statement. Also, are the following approaches correct. First the DataReader:

I have heard that saving connection strings and stored procedure names in web.config file of our application is not safe. It is a good practice to store the connection string in a config file rather than as a hard coded string in our code and if we need to change it,then it makes our job easier. how to protect our code in web.config?

Using TableAdapters I wanted to find an way to get the connection string out of the web.config in production, and override the. . . .
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings
In order to pull a connection string from (a method, a web service, or what ever) just not the web.config.To return a connection string not from the web.config?
I know we can make the connection string of a table adapter public and change it when we access the table. I want one place (the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings) change to pull the connection string from another method, just not the web.config. I do not keep connection strings in the web.config and would like to override this method.
i want to ask about the best place to put my connection string in my web application and also how to encrypt it?

Been doing web pages for years using html code and css. Recently decided to try asp.net and love it, probably because I'm an old C, C++ programmer. Every time I do a project the need for a database seems to come up which I've had no luck in setting up. So far I've worked around the need for a database by using text tiles in the App_Data folder. But this time I need a bunch of different text files or one text file and a lot of code finding the right entry. In short I believe a database would really fit here.
Can someone give me a "step by step" on accessing a database. I have an ip address my web host says I'll need. I believe the key is writing the connection string. I've been to connectionstrings.com and was unable to interpret anything there into what I need.

I am writing a web app for work. The users who are using this app will not be using the same connection string- for example, we have about 40 customers whose data resides in their respective database. The goal of this app is to be able to query the database for a given customer without having to go in and modify the web.config connection string (obviously, because that will change the connection string globally across users- I want the users to be able to have their own local connection string to be used by the app). is this possible?

The top imageUrl declartion is taking in a Base64 image string, and I want to convert it into an image. I think my set of code only works for images like "www.mysite.com/test.jpg" not for a Base64 string.
