ConfigurationManager in WPF
This one use System.Configuration
namespace
using System.Configuration;
Or add System.Configuration
in reference
System.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Trackboard"].ConnectionString;
System.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0].ConnectionString;
I've figured it out! I shouldn't have created a new config file. There is a default app.config file in the project. Now everything is fine.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Trackboard.Properties.Settings.TrackboardConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\DATABASE\Trackboard.mdf;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
private static string ConnStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Trackboard.Properties.Settings.TrackboardConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
Just add an app.config
and not web.config
because it is not a web application.
And after that it's too simple, just add a reference to to System.Configuration and then use this.
var ConnStr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Trackboard"];
