Connection String

[BDW1969]

Help for newbie. I have an asp.net project that I am yaking over. It is written in C# with a MySQL as the backend. I can't locate the connection string. In the web config file I see this

<appSettings>
<add key="ServerSideViewState" value="true"/>
</appSettings>

Which is where I thought the connection string was to be located. Any help would be great. Sorry if there isn't enough info, like I said I am very new to .NET.

Connection strings don't have to be in one particular place. If it is a multi-tier application then look in the data access layer to see if it is there. It can really be anywhere, in any class...

Have a look at how the connection string is called from the code that executes the SQL (paste it here if necessary).

you need to add one for yourself..here is an example...

<appSettings>
    <add key="ServerSideViewState" value="true"/>
   <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=localhost;database=Northwind;uid=sa;password=secret;" />
</appSettings>
