Hi,

I've a connection string in WeB.Config file
<appsettings>

C#

<add key="Excel03ConString" value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR={0};'"/>

Now i have to get the full connection string with the filename

connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Excel03ConString"].ToString();

This is retrieving the same connection string mentioned in the web.config file but i want with filename specified, how to do?

Solution 1

C#

String connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Excel03ConString"];
String fileName         = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FileName"]; // Or take it from a database or where ever

connectionString = String.Format(connectionString, fileName);
