Dear All,

If I remove <appSettings> tag from web.config file, then in which section should I write the connection string?

Seeking for early reply

Why did you remove the appSettings tag?

Hello there is no need to remove appsettings tag from web.config file

in case if u remove <appsetting> tag from web.config, u have to write code where ever u did write as like
configurationSettings.appSettings("connectionstring")
Replays this tag with the following tag
dim con as new sqlconnection("user id=sa;database=databasename;server=servername")

Then u will get correct output
Actually for reducing connection string to no.of times we will declare it as globally in web.config file.
