Your connection string should have three attributes "Name", "ConnectionString" and "providerName"

Change your connection string like this.

XML

<add key="constring" value="Server=192.240.97.122;Database=#####;User ID=######; Password=#####;"/>

OP will still need providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" before the "/>"

I have to use "add Key"

CHill60 18-Jun-15 10:46am

Why?
Try <add key="constring" value="Data Source=192.240.97.122;Initial Catalog=#####;User ID=######;Password=#####;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> ... which is copied from the link I provided, substituting your data into it

Member 11765235 18-Jun-15 11:13am

it said that providerName attribute is not allowed.What can I do?

CHill60 18-Jun-15 12:38pm
