hey guys,

well i'm trying to configure the connectionString so i would get it directly from webConfig file by using the following :

/*****
<appSettings key = "oliver"
value = "workstation id='ttttt';packet size=4096;user id=ffff;data source='192.168.53.96';persist security info=True;initial catalog=sdf;password=hhhh">
</appSettings>
******/

when i go to advance i'm not being able to see the key which is "oliver"
what can i do?

thanx,
Oliver

You want it like this :

<appSettings>

<add key = "oliver"
value = "workstation id='ttttt';packet size=4096;user id=ffff;data source='192.168.53.96';persist security info=True;initial catalog=sdf;password=hhhh" />

</appSettings>

To read a key from web.config file -

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get ("Oliver")

should give you the desired value.
Hope it helps.

Sunil,

i haven't tried it using code because i want to define it on the design time - after dragging the connection to the design page i go to it's properties and go to advanced connection and setup the key there by selecting it from a dropdown list, but the problem is that it's not showing in the dropdown knowing that i put the right code in <configuration> in webConfig file.

thanx,
Oliver
