In the generated method ReadConnectionStringFromConfig() for a DataAccessAdapter, the call to ConfigFileHelper.ReadConnectionStringFromConfig is returning an empty string. The App.config file is present with the correct key, as given by DataAccessAdapter.ConnectionStringKeyName. Any ideas?

This is with LLBLGen Pro 2.0.0.0

Please post your config file (you can remove the real connectionstring content, it's just about how the config file is setup). Also if it's a webapp, only the location of the appsettings etc. is important.

Otis,

It's nothing other than the auto-generated App.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="TWVPatCns" value="data source=localhost;initial catalog=TEST_SCHEMA;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=False;packet size=4096"/> </appSettings> </configuration>

Best regards, James.

First question: Is this from the config file of your application (web.config or applicationname.config) or is it from the app.config file of the generated project?

If it's the second case, then you should copy this connection string to your application config file.

Second question: is "TWVPatCns" the same as the ConnectionStringKeyName property in the llblgen pro project properties?

In reverse order:

Q2:

From above: The App.config file is present with the correct key, as given by DataAccessAdapter.ConnectionStringKeyName

But Q1 was the key - I was assuming the adapter would load the connection string from the generated config file.

Cheers!
