VB.NET Simple error for closing bracket

[marylipscomb]

Keeps giving an error of missing closing bracket. It is here, I have even tried adding one in different spots but still doesn't help.


Function GetData(ByVal queryString As String) As System.Data.DataSet
<connectionStrings><Add Name = "myconstring" connectionString="Data Source = MLIPSCOMB737;Initial Catalog=BID; Integrated Security = True" /></connectionString>
Dim ConnectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("myconstrin g").ConnectionString
Dim ds As New System.Data.DataSet
Try
Dim connection As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConnectionStri ng)
Dim adapter As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(queryString, connection)
adapter.Fill(ds)
Catch ex As Exception
'Message.Text = "Unable to connect to the database."
End Try
Return ds

End Function


There error : '>' expected

It highlights Name in this code.

<Add Name = "myconstring" connectionString="Data Source = MLIPSCOMB737;Initial Catalog=BID; Integrated Security = True" /></connectionString>

thanks!!

Where is this code located?
I don't know any code file that allows using "<" and ">".
Seems like you're mixing vb code with your web.config code?
