.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / August 2006Getting the connection string from the App.Config File (2005)
I guess the following only works for Web Projects... Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Configuration Dim sCodaCon As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("MyCnn") What is the equivalent for retrieving the ConnectionString from the App.Config file?

'My.Settings'.  SignatureM S Herfried K. Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/> but the entire line: 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager' Doesn't work - says ConfigurationManager isn't under Configuration (this is only in a Windows Project, WebProject has ConfigurationManager) > "jonefer" <jonefer@discussions.microsoft.com> schrieb: > >I guess the following only works for Web Projects...

'My.Settings.*' should be sufficient to access the connection string. SignatureM S Herfried K. Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/> Thank you. You wouldn't believe how difficult it was to find that very simple yet so important piece of information. > "jonefer" <jonefer@discussions.microsoft.com> schrieb: > > 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager' [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > You don't need this code at all.

It is not there by default. Once you have it, everything should work the same.
