Where to set ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings? [Resolved]

Where can I set the ConnectionString that is referred to in this line of code?

VB Code:

Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))

Here is original link with full code:

Thanks!

Dave, ConfigurationSettings sounds like its the name of the project and AppSettings is the name of a class? Its probably grabbing
the ConnectionString property from that class. I noticed that the article refers to it on other examples too but without
definition. You could probably re-create it if you cant find it on thir site.

The .CONFIG file.

I don't have a .CONFIG file. Its a stand-alone .ASPX file.

web.config, to be specific.

Code:

---

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="ConnectionString"
      value="sdlfkjaslfkjasdlfkjasdlfkjasdflk" />
  </appSettings>
  <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off"/>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

How can I associate a .CONFIG file to this stand-alone .aspx file? When I open the .aspx file in vis stud, it doesn't make a Solution or Project. There is just the file... Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Then you might as well store your connection string in a variable and forget about configurationsettings.

We're talking out of sync ;)

Create a new web project and add the aspx file to the solution.

Or just copy over the aspx and code to the existing .aspx in the new solution.

Just make sure the page directive isn't copied over.

Mendhak's advice was right-on. kudos! Thanks all!
