Please help - I may end up losing my job if I don't have this working!!

Hi All,


I need your help with a very strange message. The application was working fine, I started getting this message from today noon. Furthermore, I had a backup of the application which was working, and even this stopped working with the same exception.

I am getting the following message whenever I run my ASP.NET Application:

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

It throws the exception on the following line of code:

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource47" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString47 %>"


The Database Provider is Oracle, and I am using ASP.NET with VB Script.

Following is my Web.config code:




<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">


<connectionStrings>


<add name="ConnectionString47" connectionString="Data Source=Servername;User ID=***;Password=***;Unicode=True"


providerName="System.Data.OracleClient" />


</connectionStrings>


<system.web>


<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true"/>


<pages>


<namespaces>


<clear/>


<add namespace="System"/>


<add namespace="System.Data"/>


<add namespace="System.Collections"/>


<add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized"/>


<add namespace="System.Configuration"/>


<add namespace="System.Text"/>


<add namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions"/>


<add namespace="System.Web"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.Caching"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.SessionState"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.Security"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.Profile"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.UI"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts"/>


<add namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls"/>


</namespaces>


</pages>


Please Help as this is a very critical project for me.


Thanks,

I see connectionStrings(lower case) in your web.config and ConnectionString='<%$ C</font>onnectionStrings:ConnectionString47 %>' in your control.

Try using ,

ConnectionString='<%$ c</font>onnectionStrings:ConnectionString47 %>' in your control ('c'(in red) is lower case)
