connection-string

My Azure Function App has a ConnectionString defined. I want to retrieve it from a C# function written in dotnet standard 2.0. I have tried adding System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager to the project.json and using var str = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["my string"].ConnectionString; but I get the error run.csx(24,15): error CS0103: The name 'ConfigurationManager' does not exist in the current context How do I access the connection string? Crazy Crab ConfigurationManager is not available in Azure Functions v2 .NET Standard projects. Azure FUnction v2 now uses ASPNET Core

Using Visual Basic for Applications , how can I find out which version of the MySQL ODBC driver is installed in Windows on a user's machine? I have a Microsoft Access application that uses the MySQL ODBC driver to make a connection. The connection string looks like this: ODBC;DATABASE=mydatabase;DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; OPTION=3;PWD=password;PORT=3306;SERVER=server-db;UID=db-user; This was working find until the IT manager installed version 5.1 of the MySQL ODBC driver on a user's PC, which broke my connection string. If I knew the version of the driver installed on the user's Windows

My web.config looks like this : <configuration> <configSections> <!-- For more information on Entity Framework configuration, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=237468 --> <section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" /> </configSections> <appSettings> <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" /> <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" /> <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" /> <add key=

I'm new to ASP.NET-ville, be gentle. I have been troubleshooting a ASP.NET setup, where the server/database values are changing, therefore web.config needs to be updated. There are multiple <add name="NameXYZ" connectionString="blah" /> instances (multiple ASP.NET components), but some of these are marked up differently to others. I've got the following provided: <add name="CONNECTION-B" connectionString="metadata=res://*/ZZZZ.ssdl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=XXX;Initial Catalog=YYY;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=AAA;Password=BBBB

I'm sure I've done this before at some stage, but I can't figure out how to now! My scenario: // This is generated from EDMX public partial class HOLDbEntities : DbContext { public HOLDbEntities() : base("name=HOLDbEntities") { } } Now, I want this connection string to be easily changeable (I want to Implement from the HOLDbEntities), so I need to override this constructor. I've tried: public partial class HOLDbEntities { private const string _contextName = "HOLDbEntities"; public static string ContextName { get { return _contextName; } } public HOLDbEntities() : base(ContextName) { } } But

I've used all three of these when making local programmatic connections to databases. Is there any real difference between them? The final result is the same. The difference is: 'localhost' resolves at the TCP/IP level and is equivalent to the IP address 127.0.0.1 Depending on the application "(local)" could be just an alias for 'localhost'. In SQLServer, '(local)' and '.' mean that the connection will be made using the named pipes (shared memory) protocol within the same machine (doesn't need to go through the TCP/IP stack). That's the theory. In practice, I don't think there is substantial

In the previous versions of EF we were able to alter the dbcontext connection string as below : context.Database.Connection.ConnectionString = "the new connectionstring"; How can we do this with EF7? Thank you I found the solution : https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework/wiki/Configuring-a-DbContext#config-from-external-code Context Code public class BloggingContext : DbContext { public BloggingContext(DbContextOptions options) : base(options) { } public DbSet<Blog> Blogs { get; set; } } Application code var optionsBuilder = new DbContextOptionsBuilder(); optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(@
