How to read a Web.Config in Powerbuilder 11.5.1?

Question

My office mate created a web service application to be consumed by a .Net application on the presentation layer. He wants to read the connection string from the web.config. Thank you in advance.

Web Forms has GetConfigSettings(), but for web services, I'd guess you'd need something like this:

#IF Defined PBDOTNET THEN
System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection cs

cs = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
SQLCA.DBMS = cs["ConnectionDBMS"]
SQLCA.DBParm = cs["ConnectionDBParm"]
SQLCA.AutoCommit = (Lower (cs["ConnectionAutoCommit"]) = "true")
SQLCA.LogID = cs["ConnectionLogID"]
SQLCA.LogPass = cs["ConnectionLogPass"]
SQLCA.ServerName = cs["ConnectionServerName"]
#END IF

I'm pretty sure this was working code at one point, but I abandoned it long ago for GetConfigSettings(). It should at least get you going in the right direction, I hope.

Good luck,

Terry
