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.
I have a problem with SqlMembershipProvider. I have already created database aspnetdb. I need to add new user to database however one error occured. This is my web.config file:

and this is my application code:

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?
I want to know how to pass connection string to my .dll file. I have created one Class Library(dll) now i am using the dll of that in my application.

With that i also want to know how will i pass parameters to my dll. I have already tried but it is giving me an error:the remote server returned an error 500 internal server error.

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'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 have an MVC2 .NET 4.0 app, hosted on TFS 2008 (soon to be TFS 2010) that uses connection strings in web.config to connect to a database on another server. I need to encrypt these connection strings.
As I understand it, I can use aspnet_regiis.exe to encrypt the connectionstring portion of the web.config file, but I have to do it on the deployment machine because the encryption uses the machine name to generate the encryption key.
Now, it seems to me that this represents a problem - every time I deploy my code to the dev server won't it overwrite the web.config file, and need to be re-encrypted? This sort of manual process seems kludgy.
Is my understanding about needing to re-encrypt after deployment correct? If so, is there some way to automate this process? I don't want to forget this or get a new team member who doesn't know the process and have the connectionstring exposed to the world.
in one of the application i have been reffering connection string is stored in appsettings! till now i have been storeing the connection in <connectionstring/> element. But, what is the correct way?
So my quetion is, What is the differences between <connectionstring> and <appsettings> in web.config, are there any specific reason why i should or should not be storing connection string in appsettings? Are there any rules / guidlines provided to follow? Or is this completely the choice of the developer?
Trying to do something like
<%$ ConnectionStrings: AppSettings:ENVIRONMENT %>
Is there a way?

My website has to connect to a hosted SQL Server database. The connectiostring, incluing username and password, is stored in the web config file.I have two questions.The first is that everything I read says this must be encrypted so that it cannot be read and used by others. Well, how would that happen. My understanding of ASP.net is that all the work is carried out on the hosted server and the rendered page is then delivered to the user. How would a user be able to view my connectionstring.Secondly, I have used some msdn vb.net code to encrypt the connection string in the web config file. Following on from the first question, how can I confirm that the encryption is intact on the published web.config file.
View 7 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
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Persist Security Info=True;Data Source="+txtdatasource.Text+";database="+txtDBName.Text+"; User ID="+txtDBUsername.Text+";password="+txtDBPass.Text);
conn.Open();
SqlCommand cmd =new SqlCommand("SELECT [ItemCode],[ClientDescription] FROM ["+txtDBName.Text+"].[dbo].[Bookings]");
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
This gets the folowing error ExecuteNonQuery: Connection property has not been initialized. i know it connects to the database
