Problem getting the connection string from App.Config

Shareb

I tried getting the value like this:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Database1ConnectionString"];

but I get the error This method is obsolete, it has been replaced by System.Configuration!System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

even if i used the System.Configuration library, i can't see the ConfigurationManger still.

thanks in advance.

Should work in 50215 are you sure you did add areference to
System.Configuration.dll!.

try this

string sss =System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["server"].ToString();

Hi shareb,
use this to get the connection string value from the web.config. and also sure that you have included the namespace System.Configuration
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];

hope it will help you
