Error Reading from a Text File

[Dave Bailey]

I have added a text file to a C# Web Project. I have
placed an oledbconnection string into the text file. I
can read the information and place the connection string
into a text box which is not visible. When I load the
connection string from the text box as follows:

string connStr = connectText.Tex t:

and run the program, I get the following error:

Format of the initialization string does not conform to
specification starting at index 21

Can anyone help with this.

Thanks,

Dave

Could you provide us with the line of code that is causing the error?
Without having that, my best guess is that the error occurs when you are
trying to open the connection on your dbconnection object.
My guess is that the string is loading up ok, but that your connection
string is mal-formed. Try to use the same connection string without loading
it from a text file, and see if you still get the error.
If you can provide a code snipet, one of us may have a more definitive
answer for you.
