I just wrote some .
NET code to get connection string from the config file. The config file is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="key1" value="hello,world!"/>
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="conn1" connectionString="abcd"/>
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
.
NET Framework provide the following types to get the connection string:
1- ConnectionStringsSection : stands for the config section containing several connection strings
2- ConnectionStringSettingsCollection : stands for the connection string collection
3- ConnectionStringSettings : stands for a certain connection string.
.
NET Framework also provide the following types to get the App Settings:
4- AppSettingsSection
5- KeyValueConfigurationCollection
6- KeyValueConfigurationElement
Compare 2 to 5, 3 to 6, why are there extra "s" in ConnectionStringSetting[s]Collection and ConnectionStringSetting[s]?
This mis-spelling is really mis-leading. I think it's a design flaw.
Has anyone noticed that?
