I'm working on a .NET Framework 4.5.2 legacy application.
I need the plain ConnectionString of my application, but I don't know how to read it.
Unfortunately the Web.config file of the app, does not have a section "connectionStrings".
Instead, in the Web.config file, there is a section "applicationSettings" which contains the necessary parameters:
<applicationSettings>
<MyApp.Properties.Settings xdt:Transform="Replace">
<setting name="Url" serializeAs="String">
<value>myapp.com</value>
</setting>
<setting name="User" serializeAs="String">
<value>admin</value>
</setting>
<setting name="PW" serializeAs="String">
<value>Password1</value>
</setting>
<setting name="Domain" serializeAs="String">
<value>Fruits</value>
</setting>
<setting name="Port" serializeAs="String">
<value>123</value>
</setting>
<setting name="UseSSL" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
</MyApp.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
I need the plain connection string as a text in notepad - because I need to store the connectionstring in my Azure DevOps environment.
Do you know how to retrieve the connectionString?
By any chance, do you know how to solve this issue?
To retrieve the connectionString you can use the following code
