Loading Configuration Information

To load the connection information into your program, use the Get method of the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings class. Use the values to build the connection string. Here is the InitConnection method from PhonebookObj:


private void InitConnection()
{
  //Retrieve connection information from the configuration file.
  string server = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("server");
  string logfile = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("logfile");
  string port = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("port");
  string nspace = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("namespace");
  string user = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("user");
  string pwd = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("pwd");
  string cacheConnectStr = "Server = " + server + "; Log File = " + logfile + 
      ";Port = " + port + "; Namespace = " + nspace + "; Password = " + pwd + 
      "; User ID = " + user; 
  
  cnCache = new CacheConnection(cacheConnectStr);
  cnCache.Open();
 }
