ASP.NET Application object?

[Tunes]

Im new to ASP.NET, but I have some experience with ASP.
In ASP I keep my SQL connection strings in Application object and I can use them everywhere in my application like this:

Application("strConnection")

Can I do the same in ASP.NET, or is there a better way to do that?

Hi,

With ASP.NET you can keep your configuration settings in your web.config file like this:

<configuration>
....
....
<appSettings>
<add key="strConnection" value="Your_Connection_String_Here" />
</appSettings>
....
....
</configuration>

You can add more key/value pairs by adding <add> elements in the web.config. To read the value in your code, do the following:

strConn = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strConnection")


Cheers,
