  settings.settings vs web.config & how to read the values from web app

  Jul 09, 2012 09:18 PM|LINK

  Hi,
  I have a web app. I am referencing some code in the web application.  For example, when  I reference this code>>
  
  con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DbConString"].ToString());
  
  
  It should read the key / value from web.config file ( see code below ).... and not from app.config...

  (which is  the values of the project properties in settings.settigns)

      <appSettings>
           <add key="DbConString" value="xxxxxx" />
      </appSettings
  
  Is this correct. 
  
  
  
  and if I want to read the property from app.config, I use this code>>
  
   private string con  = BL.Properties.Settings.Defaul.DbConString;
  
  providing the app.config contains .....
  
  <configuration>
      <configSections>
   <applicationSettings>
          <BL.Properties.Settings>
              <setting name="DbConString" serializeAs="String">
                  <value>xxxxxx</value>
              </setting>
          </BL.Properties.Settings>
      </applicationSettings>
  </configuration>
  
  I appreciate confirming if the above is correct.
  thanks
  
  Bob
