How to use the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

Question

I\'ve never used the \"appSettings\" before. How do you configure this in C# to use with a SqlConnection, this is what I use for the \"ConnectionStrings\"

Answer 1

\if what you have posted is exactly what you are using then your problem is a bit obvious. Now assuming in your web.config you have you connection string defined like this

In your code you should use the value in the name attribute to refer to the connection string you want (you could actually define several connection strings to different databases), so you would have

 con.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SiteSqlServer"].ConnectionString;
