Hej,

Using Adapter template and getting this error while compiling!

"The key 'Main.ConnectionString' does not exist in the appSettings configuration section."

Should I add a app.config in my windows application project? Where can I store the connection string?

thanx,

Hey, there. When you generate your code, an app.config file is generated for you that contains the required key. Copy the "Main.ConnectionString" key into your application's .config file and you're good to go.

I'm having the same problem, but I have an app.Config with the relevant section.

I am using beta2 of vs.net 2005 and working in vb.

I have calls to the LLBL gen library in a user control. After placing the UC on a form, it frequently stops displaying the form in the designer.

The full error is:

The key 'Main.ConnectionString' does not exist in the appSettings configuration section. 

at System.ComponentModel.ReflectPropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Object component, Object value)
at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeAssignStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeAssignStatement statement)

at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerBase.DeserializeStatement(IDesignerSerializationManager manager, CodeStatement statement) 

I think what is happening is the designer is trying to read/set properties which call functions which access the llblGen stuff. Those don't appear to run in the designer.

I don't think this is a "real" llblgen error, but I don't seem to be able to track it down. Does anybody have any ideas?

In vs.net 2003 it often helped if yuo defined it in the custom properties of the control's databinding settings but I have no idea if it's the case as well with vs.net 2005.

Are you using a windows app? Is it copying the app.config to the bin folder and renameing it AppName.exe.config?

Another possibility is that this is an ASP.NET application. If so, copy the connection string to the Web.Config file.
