Hi all..
I have created a business logic component that is used from my ASP.NET
webform. It works, but connection string to the database is hard coded, as
in this method :
public DataSet GetCategories()
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=DEVSERVER;Initial
Catalog=XXXX;User ID=X;Password=Y");
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT CAT_ID, CAT_NOM FROM
CATEGORIA ORDER BY CAT_NOM", conn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(ds);
return ds;
}
I need to know what is the best way to pass the connection string that is
present in the web.config file. I tried using a constructor in that business
class but with no success. Also I have read that ObjectDataSource uses
stateless components so I think the usage of properties isn't allowed here.
The question is, the only solution I could implement is passing the
connection string as a parameter to GetCategories? is there another one?
Since this method resides in a DLL, I cannot use ConnectionManager class to
access web.config file.
Thanks a lot

if you have it in Web.Config like:-
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=(local);database=YourDB;integrated
security=true;" />
Then in you app do:-
myconnection = New
SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("C onnectionString"))
Is that what you are looking for.

the best solution is to write you own application setting class (use
interfaces). this allows multiple implementation of loading settings, but
one for reading.
hint: use the factory model to allow a static create method.

Hi Patrick..
I cannot do that since this method is in a DLL that is referenced by the
ASP.NET project. When I use AppSettings from the component, I receive a
null. However I think I could use what you suggested if I have public
DataSet GetCategories(String connectionStr).
By the way, I use ASP.NET 2.0 and in this version
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings is reported as obsolete. I should use
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings instead.

FYI, to actually use System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs
in 2.0 you must add a reference to System.configuration.dll. (I wasted a
lot of time trying to figure that out).
This is not necessary to do to use
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings and I not sure why.
Can anyone explain?

Hi, Greg.
re: Can anyone explain?
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings
is a class in the System.Configuration namespace in system.dll.
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs isn't.
See :
http://www.asp.net/QUICKSTART/util/c....Configuration
Configuration.ConfigurationManager is a class which resides in
System.Configuration (in system.configuration.dll), not in system.dll
which is where Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings resides.
It's a bit confusing because the System.Configuration first names seem the same,
but -just like you do with people- you need a first name *and* a last name
to identify individuals.
The System.Configuration class in System.dll is really System.System.Configuration
( notice the *two* "system" in the name ) but we don't have to identify the base
namespace because it's automatically imported in all aspx pages.
If you want to use the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings class which is
a part of system.configuration.dll without importing the namespace,
you'll need to use its full name :
System.Configuration.System.Configuration.Configur ationManager.AppSettings
That because the System.Configuration.System.Configuration namespace
is *not* imported automatically into every aspx page.
I hope this is clearer to you now.

'System' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Configuration'
I added C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Syst em.configuration.dll
I also added using System.Configuration;
Here is the line of code it errors on.
string sConnString =

Just import system.configuration and use :
string sConnString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs["dsn"];
The thing is that the ConfigurationManager class isn't meant to be used
just to read a key and insert the key's string value into a connection.
It's meant to be used to *modify* configuration files.
If you just want to read a value in web.config, use :
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings["dsn"];

Not really. I guess I'm a little dense. :^)
This, of course, compiles just fine:
Dim sConnString As String =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs("dsn")
and this (because System is imported by default in VB)
Dim sConnString As String =
Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ds n")
and if I import System.Configuation I would just use:
Imports System.Configuration
Dim sConnString As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("dsn")
but now this won't compile: ?
Imports System.Configuration
Dim sConnString As String =
Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ds n")
Error: 'System' is not a member of 'System.Configuration.Configuration'
And I can't get this line to compile at all...?
Dim sConnString As String =
System.Configuration.System.Configuration.Configur ationManager.AppSettings("dsn")
Error: 'System' is not a member of 'Configuration'
I don't think I will ever completely understand this. Don't bother trying to
explain it to me again, I'm hopeless. :^)
The thing is that the ConfigurationManager class isn't meant to be used

If you just want to read a value in web.config, use :

Interesting, never heard that metioned before. I thought we were expected
to stop using System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings?
Greg
I'm reading a value from App.config
My project is a C# 2005 win form application.
Should I ignore the warring messages for "string sConnString =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings["dsn"];" ?

Well, other than an obvious typo, it's a sound explanation.
If you need to verify, download Lutz Roeder's Reflector: http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/
and take a look at both assemblies : System.dll and System.configuration.dll
You'll understand what I meant immediately.

news:eW**************@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... If you want to use the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings class which is
a part of system.configuration.dll without importing the namespace,
you'll need to use its full name :
System.Configuration.System.Configuration.Configur ationManager.AppSettings
That because the System.Configuration.System.Configuration namespace
is *not* imported automatically into every aspx page.
I hope this is clearer to you now.
Not really. I guess I'm a little dense. :^)
This, of course, compiles just fine:
Dim sConnString As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSetti ngs("dsn")
and this (because System is imported by default in VB)
Dim sConnString As String = Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ds n")
and if I import System.Configuation I would just use:
Imports System.Configuration
Dim sConnString As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("dsn")
but now this won't compile: ?
Imports System.Configuration
Dim sConnString As String = Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ds n")
Error: 'System' is not a member of 'System.Configuration.Configuration'
And I can't get this line to compile at all...?
Dim sConnString As String =
System.Configuration.System.Configuration.Configur ationManager.AppSettings("dsn")
Error: 'System' is not a member of 'Configuration'
I don't think I will ever completely understand this. Don't bother trying to explain it
to me again, I'm hopeless. :^)
The thing is that the ConfigurationManager class isn't meant to be used
just to read a key and insert the key's string value into a connection.
It's meant to be used to *modify* configuration files.
If you just want to read a value in web.config, use :
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings["dsn"];
Interesting, never heard that metioned before. I thought we were expected to stop using
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings?
Greg
re: I'm reading a value from App.config
Isn't System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSett ings
hard-wired to read from web.config if you're writing a web application?
Are you talking about a Windows Forms app.config ?
Windows applications in the .NET Framework use
the name app.config by default for their configuration file.
Web applications use web.config by default for the configuration file.

Sounds like you are saying you should ingore the warnings and continue to
use ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings for reading from web.config and
app.config files. This is the first time I've heard somebody suggest that.
I was under the impressions that ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings was
obsolete and should be avoided in favor of the new
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.

re: ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings was obsolete and should be avoided in favor of the new
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
It is *deprecated*, not obsolete.
You can *still* read web.config values with ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.
At some point in the future, though, it will stop working. (.Net Framework 3.0 ?)
re: Sounds like you are saying you should ingore the warnings and continue to use
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings for reading from web.config and app.config files.
Like I said, app.config is for Windows Forms,
and web.config is for web applications.
He said he was using app.config, but this is a web applications newsgroup.
If he is getting warnings when he uses app.config in a web application,
then he should, simply, only use app.config for Windows applications,
and use web.config for web applications.
Otherwise, if he is using app.config in a Windows Application,
he should post to the right newsgroup for Windows apps, which is :
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms or any of its subgroups.
Is that clearer now ?

re: The warning VS gives is "obsolete".
It's still deprecated, not obsolete.
When something is obsolete, it doesn't works any more.
When something is deprecated, it still works.
re: You get the warning in both Windows apps and Web apps when you use
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
I *never* get that warning neither in 1.1 nor in 2.0 web apps.
Maybe I'm just lucky ?
See an example at my test application, configured for ASP.NET 2.0:
http://asp.net.do/test/checkAppSettings.aspx
All that page has is :
checkAppSettings.aspx :
-------------------------
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim miSELECT as String = (ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("selectDocs"))
setting.text = miSELECT
Dim miVersion as String = System.Environment.Version.ToString()
version.Text = "This application is running under ASP.NET version " & miVersion
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head><title>Retrieve AppSetting key and ASP.NET Version</title></head>
<body>
<asp:label id="setting" runat="server" /><br/>
<asp:label id="version" runat="server" /><br/>
</body>
</html>
------------------------
The key in web.config reads like this :
<appSettings>
<add key="selectDocs" value="SELECT * FROM documents WHERE thereisdata ORDERBY
CreationDate DESC"/>
</appSettings>
Why am I not getting any warnings,
and why does that page compile OK if, as you say :
You get the warning in both Windows apps and Web apps when you use
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
?

We'll you definately would never see it in 1.1, because this is a compiler

It's a 2.0 app.
However, VS 2005, or the .Net compiler team, may be schizophrenic.
On the one hand VS 2005 says that a class is "obsolete",
but it runs OK and it compiles without errors.
Maybe the documentation guys flubbed this one ?
What the warning message should say is that the class
