I've been reading about having database connection string in web.config, in AppSettings of the file... (someone on this forum also said to put it there..thanks!)...

But when I open my web.config, i dont see the tag for AppSettings ...this tag is NOT part of web.config?? i have to add it myself??

you have to add it yourself as so

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="connString" value = "user id=userid;pwd=password;data source=servername;persist security info=False;initial catalog=dabasename"/>
</appSettings>

other settings here

</configuration>
