Hi All,

There is an "Connection Strings" module in IIS 7.0 or higher which is used for establishing communication between an application and database. I know how to use it but not sure why we are using it here as while developing application we have had already define connection string setting in our web.config file. Can anyone please let me know what is its purpose?

The Connection Strings functionality in IIS would exist if you wanted to provide a connection to your SQL Server to all users of the IIS, rather than having to maintain specific login details in your web.config.

If you have already done it in your application, there's no need to set up your connection strings in IIS.
