How to access web.config connection string in C#?
- by salvationishere
I have a 32-bit XP running VS 2008 and I am trying to decrypt my connection string from my web.config file in my C# ASPX file.
Even though there are no errors returned, my current connection string doesn't display contents of my selected AdventureWorks stored procedure.
I entered it:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>Aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/AddFileToSQL2"
Then it said "Succeeded".
And my web.config section looks like:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Master" connectionString="server=MSSQLSERVER;database=Master; Integrated Security=SSPI"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="AdventureWorksConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=SIDEKICK;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="AdventureWorksConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=SIDEKICK;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Persist Security Info=true; "
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
And my C# code behind looks like:
string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AdventureWorksConnectionString2"].ConnectionString;
Is there something wrong with the connection string in the web.config or C# code behind file?
