connectionString="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=mywork-PC;Initial Catalog=homework;Data Source=myDB"/>

<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true" targetframework="4.0">

in my source code:Visual 2010 professional (Visual Basic)

Dim myConnectionString As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["mywork_str"].ConnectionStrings.Tostring

ERROR I get:
Identifier expected , the underline placed under " (double quote) of ["mywork_str"]

Anyone knows how to fix it . I am so appreciated

Solution 1

I would try putting brackets or single quotes around the userid in the connectionstring, Since it has that dash.

Hi,

I think the connection string name you have given as different in web.config
Connection string in your web.config should look like this....

XML

<add name="mywork_str" connectionstring="Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=mywork-PC;Initial Catalog=homework;Data Source=myDB" />

Otherwise change the name of the connection string that matches the string that you have gave in server side code(mywork_str).
I hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
RK
