appsettings.json code example

Example 1: use appsettings.json in console app

All that’s required is to add the following NuGet packages and an appsettings.json file.

Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileExtensions
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json

The appsettings.json files “Copy to Output Directory” property should also be set to “Copy if newer” so that the application is able to access it when published.

Example 2: .net using appsettings variables

var connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Default"].ConnectionString;
connectionString.Expand() // returns "server=db01.mycompany.com;uid=uid;pwd=pwd;Initial Catalog=master;"

Example 3: .net using appsettings variables

<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="Domain" value="mycompany.com"/>
        <add key="ServerName" value="db01.{Domain}"/>
    </appSettings>
    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="Default" connectionString="server={ServerName};uid=uid;pwd=pwd;Initial Catalog=master;" provider="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>
</configuration>
