Unable to find connection 'dbname' for object 'web.config'

Hi All,

When using the dataset designer, at least once a week or so, I will try to
add a new query to a table adapter, or modify an existing one and get the
error "Unable to find connection 'dbname' for object 'web.config'. The
connection string could not be found in application settings, or the data
provider associated with the connection string could not be loaded." The
only way I have found to be able to correct the issue is to drag another
table onto the designer, which will generate a second connection string in
my web.config, as well as add an entry to my project settings. After doing
this, I then have to hit each adapter already on the designer and have it
use the connection string in the settings, rather than the one in the config
file. Is there a better way to get around this? Or better yet, is there a
way to stop it from happening in the first place?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi all, I am currently working on a project that needs to maintain the connection to the DB throughout the pages that the user navigates. I have already validated my DB connection and some operations on the start-up page, but I am not sure how to make the same persist in the code behind for the other pages using C#. I appreciate any help. Thanks,

Hi there. In your opinion, where is the best place to put the connection string of a web application? Web.config, a constant into the code? I'm not using a component server, so it's not an option, ok? Tks. Fernando

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
