Question

Line 10: 
Line 11:                 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="ac210db6" runat="server" 
Line 12:             ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ac210db6ConnectionString %>" 
Line 13:             SelectCommand="SELECT [cid] FROM [customers]"></asp:SqlDataSource><br />

The connection name 'ac210db6ConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: The connection name 'ac210db6ConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You should have something like this in your web.config file.

<connectionStrings>
  <add name="ac210db6ConnectionString" connectionString="server={YOUR-SERVER-NAME-OR-IP};database={DATABASE-NAME};Integrated Security=True;"/>
</connectionStrings>
