Handle backslash in the connection string

Question

I have a following connection string in app.config

<add name="myDBConnectionString"
     connectionString="Data Source=ASDFG\SQLEXPRESS;
         Initial Catalog=ZAQ;
         Integrated Security=True;"/>

in my C# code then, when I get this string DB is always evaluated as "ASDFG\\\\SQLEXPRESS"

I couldn't put @ since app.config doesn't like it. Also, if I say

ASDFG\\SQLEXPRESS 

it gets evaluated as

ASDFG\\\\SQLEXPRESS 

and not open the connection.

Thank You,

Answer 1

调试器可能会将其显示为ASDFG\\\\SQLEXPRESS ，但只是出于显示目的转义了反斜杠。

Answer 2

use this in codebehind

string conString =
    System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager
        .ConnectionStrings["myDBConnectionString"].ToString();

Answer 3

always evaluated as "ASDFG\\SQLEXPRESS"

Which is quite correct. Any actual problems opening the Db?
