.net 3.5: To read connectionstring from app.config?

Question

How to read connection string info from app.config file using .net api?

Platform is .net 3.5

Answer 1

If name is a string value that represents the name of the connection string:

var connectionString = 
    ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[name].ConnectionString;

In your example you didn't provide a value for name, so you'll have to do that before it'll work.
