About this:

I get an error: Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement

I just declared a var like this and solved the problem:

var strConnection = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDBConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
