The connection name 'MSSQLConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

Hi all,

 

I have configured connection string and installed mojoportal on server successfully and

all mojoportal features are working perfectly, just I have putted my custom control wich uses sql server but

it gives me followong error

The connection name 'MSSQLConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

Is it mojoportal problem or my custom control problem? connection string name un user.config is 'MSSQLConnectionString'

 

What to do?..

 

Thanks

Re: The connection name 'MSSQLConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

In mojoPortal we use <appSettings for our connection strings, but it sounds like your control needs to use the <connectionStrings for its connection string.

You would need to add this in Web.config after the </appSettings>

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="MSSQLConnectionString" connectionString="server=yourservername;UID=yourdatabaseusername;PWD=yourdatabaseuserpassword;database=yourdatabasename"/>
  </connectionStrings>

and put the same connection string value there that you have in user.config

Hope it helps,

Joe
