I'm not sure the best place to put this:
I need help for creating a connection string in VS.Net 2.0. The line that I'm using to create my sql connections is:
<CODE>
Dim connDBAsNew SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionString("TEST").ConnectionString)</CODE>
"TEST" information is located in the machine.config file.
Anyways, when I type in the line above listed inside the <CODE> brackets, I get the following squiqqly line error under the Configuration Manager
<ERROR>
Name 'ConfigurationManager' is not declared.
</ERROR>
Do I need additional code in my web.config file or somewhere else to use ConfigurationManager? Thanks.
You're probably missing a reference to System.Configuration. It's also ConnectionStrings(), not ConnectionString(). Since it's from Web.config, I normally do it this way:
Imports System.Web.Configuration
Dim connDB As New SqlConnection(WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("TEST").ConnectionString)
HTH,
