VS05 and ASP.NET 2.0 - Connection String in web.config

in VS03/ASP.NET, I have to edit the web.config to add the connection
string under appSettings.

I am sure that I can do the same is VS05. But I noticed that there is
a connectionStrin gs section. So I thought that putting the my
connection string under this section makes more sense. and I can
MANUALLY modifiy the web.config.

Questions:

1. What the App_Data folder for? It requires the SQL Server Express by
Default also.

2. Are we suppose adding these throught the GUI, i.e. through the manu
WebSite/ASP.NET Configuration? then, I can only add it to the
appSettings section.

Thanks

Jojn

I'm trying to fix a "sub optimal" situation with respect to connection string management. Your thoughtful responses will be appreciated. I just started with a new client who has a bunch of legacy ASP.NET applications that all manage connection strings in Web.config the same way, like this: This client has one Web.config file per application, and that one Web.config file is duplicated across all environments (i.e., dev machines, test,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
