hi there..

first of all, the web config file is an xml file.. so you have your appsettings close, the file should be something like

Code:

  <appSettings>
    <add key="ConnString" value="Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=ensurecms;Data Source=VENUS;"/>
  </appSettings>

anyway, since you are declaring a connection string, you should now that in 2.0 there is a conection string section in the web.config.

you can do something like this

Code:

  <connectionStrings>
        <add name="ConnString" connectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=ensurecms;Data Source=VENUS;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

you should check the providername ;)

then is will be easier to connect datasources (since it will recognize the connectionstrings section) and by code using:

Code:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnString").ConnectionString
