I am going through some E-Commerce exercises in .NET 1.1. I just wanted to know if this code I have below is equivalent to the code in 1.1, as I was getting error messages regarding code being obsolete
.NET 1.1
Public Class Catalog
Private Shared ReadOnly Property connectionstring() as String
in the 1.1 framework, the web.config file did not have a dedicated section for connection strings. so connectionstrings were often stored in the appSettings section.
with 2.0, a dedicated ConnectionStrings section was added. so the 2nd example will require that you move the connection string from appSettings section of the web.config file into the ConnectionStrings section.

your 2 code samples are not entirely equivalent.
in the 1.1 framework, the web.config file did not have a dedicated section for connection strings. so connectionstrings were often stored in the appSettings section.
with 2.0, a dedicated ConnectionStrings section was added. so the 2nd example will require that you move the connection string from appSettings section of the web.config file into the ConnectionStrings section.
