connection string syntax in page using config file

[D. Shane Fowlkes]

I'm trying out a whole bunch of new (to me) techniques. Using asp.net 2
(vb), can someone correct my connection syntax. The problem seems to be
that I'm not properly referening the config settings in my aspx page.

Thanks!

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'connectionStrings' is not a member of
'Configuration'.

strConnectString = System.configuration.connectionStrings("DRPTWeb")



My web.config file:

<configuration>

<connectionStrings>

<add name="DRPTWeb" connectionString="Data Source=DRPT-DEV01;Initial
Catalog=DRPT....etc....." providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>

It should be
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DRPTWeb").

strConnectString =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("DRPTWeb").ConnectionString

I stand corrected. I'm still use the hash functionality of AppSettings from
1.x.

Yeah, it's quite easy to forget that when trying v2.0 way.
