The following example shows how to access the ConnectionStringSettingsCollection.
static void ShowConnectionStrings() { // Get the application configuration file. System.Configuration.Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( ConfigurationUserLevel.None); // Get the conectionStrings section. ConnectionStringsSection csSection = config.ConnectionStrings; for (int i = 0; i < ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings.Count; i++) { ConnectionStringSettings cs = csSection.ConnectionStrings[i]; Console.WriteLine(" Connection String: \"{0\"", cs.ConnectionString); Console.WriteLine("#{0", i); Console.WriteLine(" Name: {0", cs.Name); Console.WriteLine(" Provider Name: {0", cs.ProviderName);
The following excerpt shows the configuration used by the previous example.
