Provider Connection String Of Entity Framework Be Substituted With A DB Connection String Already Defined In Web.config?
Feb 2, 2011I 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?

Making Ado.net Connection Class Or Connection String In Web.config?
Oct 18, 2010I 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.
Configuration :: Deploy Web.config And App.config Connection String?
May 3, 2010I 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;
Unable To Read Connection From App.Config
Apr 16, 2010I am unable to understand. Hopefully someone out there has faced a similar issue and knows the fix. I am creating DAL for my project using class library. In my class library I want to store the connection string in APP.Config file and I have created and saved it.
The problem is when I try to access my connection string by name using ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[Name], it returns null. When I try to access connection string using number like ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0] It returns a strange connection string i.e. (data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true)
I want to clearify here that I have not deployed the website yet and its on my local file system so there is no link of this library with IIS.
Getting Connection String Out Of App.config
Feb 1, 2011I added a database to my project. When I did so an app.config file was added to my project. (Yes I know I have dangerous info in the connection string. I shall change that but for now I am messing around with test stuff.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="NyStories.Properties.Settings.storyConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|story.sdf;Password=driver;Persist Security Info=True"
providerName="Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client.3.5" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
I did a google search on how to get the connection string value and found. string sConn = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]; I am getting a warning that this is obsolete. It has been replaced by ConfigurationManager.AppSettings. Ok Fine. According to the docs, it is also in System.Confiuguration which I already have a using statement for above. But when I attempt to use it, it is not part of the assembly.

Where To Store Connection String In Web.Config
Mar 25, 2011We can store Connection String in Web.config file in two ways One is
<connectionStrings>
<clear/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Other One is
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString"
value="server=localhost;database=Northwind;uid=sa;password=secret;" />
</appSettings>
Now I want to know What is difference between these two approach? Which one is better way? What are their limitations?
UPDATE:Can you explain that <connectionString> has any significant advantage over <appSetting>?
Configuration :: Is Possible To Have More Then One Connection String In The Web.config
Oct 19, 2010I have been preparing for a conversion of an old application to an ASP.NET webapplication at beginning of the year. Generally, the development version of the webapp will also be the webapp that goes into production. We here make "clones" of the database server, assign new name, etc, which is then used for development, training, and so on without any threat of changing data on the real db (sql server 2005). I know it is possible to have more then one connection string in the web.config. My question centers around if there is a simple method for allow multiple connection strings and pick the one that is to be used for dev, production, training, and so on? I originally thought about constructing some type of admin form that the connection string can be selected from.

View 3 RepliesAuto Encryption Of Web.config Connection String?
Apr 20, 2010I want to encrypt the connection string in web.config, the problem is each time a developer changes the connection string in web.config and publishes, it needs to be encrypted every time in the web server. Is there any way that the connection string can encrypted automatically every time someone publishes it?
Note :- All of us work on our local machines other than the server. So encryption using local machine key is not an option.
SQL Server :: Connection String In Config File?
Aug 6, 2010I 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.
