Hello, how can I change ASP.NET Configuration tool-s connection string name?
(Which connection string will ASP.NET Configuration tool will use)
I'm learning ASP.NET and everywhere and in book that I'm reading now theres connection string named: LocalSqlServer.
I want to use my local sql server database instead of sql express to store Roles, Membership and other data.
I have used aspnet_regsql.exe to create needed data structures in my database. after that I changed my web.config to look like:
<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=(LOCAL); Database=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
but when I run ASP.NET Configuration tool it says that:
"The connection
name 'ApplicationServices' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty."
ASP.NET Configuration tool uses connection string named: ApplicationServices not LocalSqlServer.
cause of that I have to modify web.config to:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Server=(LOCAL); Database=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
and everything works fine.
I wish to know why the hell my web site uses connection string named: ApplicationServices and all books and online documentations uses LocalSqlServer? and how to change it to LocalSqlServer?
I have:
Windows 7
Sql Server 2008 R2
Visual Studio 2010 Premium
Project type is website
