Make sure your web.config file is correct.
Could you please share your error message, and some code how you are fetching the connectionstring?
Unable to view webconfig code..I'll help you.

Apparently, not correctly. This section is case sensitive, so you need to make sure that the "ConnectionString" tag in your web.config matches the "connectionString" that your code is trying to use exactly.
