ASP.NET FAQ - Config files

Drag and Drop the Login Control VS.NET toolbar under Login , change the form name to ‘Login.aspx’.

In the web.config file:

Add the codings given below

<authentication mode='Forms'>
	<forms loginUrl='Login.aspx' protection='All'>
		<credentials passwordFormat='Clear'>
			<user name='Admin' password='Admin'/>
			<user name='Super' password='Super'/>
			<user name='User' password='User'/>
		</credentials>
	</forms>
</authentication>

When the user name and corresponding password mentioned above are given , then the login operation will be completed successfully.

In Web.Config, you would add a key to the AppSettings Section:

<appSettings> 
<add key='MyDBConnection' value='server=<ServerName>;uid=<Username>;pwd=;database=<DBName>' />
</appSettings>

Example :

<add key='ConnectionString' value= 'Server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=;database=northwind' />

Then, in your ASP.Net application – just refer to it like this:

Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings('ConnectionString'))

Yes, you can. But the preferable way would be ASP.NET, as the ASP.NET custom pages are configured in XML based web.config (application configuration) file, resulting in easy (xcopy) deployment and management.

Probably you have mispelled the attribute. It should be verbs not verb
