Answer 1

That is because you need to put the information in the connectionStrings element. Read more on MSDN

Answer 2

you can refer this link, how to get the value from AppSetttings and also you cand read an excellent article for appsettings AppSettings

string ConnStr= System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ugs"].ToString();

then later you pass this Connection string to your SqlConnection class open.

using(SqlConnection connObj = new SqlConnection(ConnStr))
{ 
   //do some thing with ConnObj. 
}
