Save "strings" in the hierarchy of Web.config

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

In Web.config I can call on my connection string "connstring" in my aspx file by using this statement:

"<%$ ConnectionStrings:connstring %>"

I have seen other similar things used in aspx files like:

"<%# "name" %>"

I was wondering if you could also save "strings" in the hierarchy of Web.config also?

What is the xml code behind "<%# "name" %>"

Artefakt94 9-Feb-14 7:51am

string One_AppSetting = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["One_AppSetting"];

So in "<"configuration">""<"appsettings">""<"/appsettings">" what do you put to get out a string in aspx?

I didn't understand ...

In Default.aspx there exists a "<%# "name" %>" how in web.Config xml code do you identify the string variable "name" to store a string?

Artefakt94 9-Feb-14 8:13am

Your "name" will be a public property in your code-behind.
And in the getter of this property, you'll have something like this : return ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["One_AppSetting"];
So, then, you'll be able to call it with <%= name %> in your markup.
Hope it's clear.
