如何在Visual Studio（C＃）中将ASP.NET项目与SQL Server数据库表连接

Question

I have created simple database table in Visual Studio 2015 called Users and updated it.

I want to connect it with my project, so after I fill in my text fields and press 'Sign Up' button, it can get saved to database. I am aware that I'll have to use string connections and other stuff to connect it, but how do I first connect this project with web.config ?

I have seen people dragging this table to Registration form code, so it would automatically create a connection with web-config, but it didn't work for me.

How do I reference my database from web.config correctly ?

Answer 1

Right-click on MyDatabase.mdf and in the properties panel you will see the Connection String. Copy that into the web config in the ConnectionStrings node:

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyDatabase" connectionString="[Paste Connection String Here]"/>
  </connectionStrings>
