Before you build your project you need to define your connection string as Dim connectionString As String connectionString = Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings(“ConnectionString”) ‘For VB .NET 1.x or connectionString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings(“ConnectionString”) ‘For VB .NET 2.0 in your VB .NET applications and have an App.config file contains the code: VB .NET will generate a config file in the bin subfolder when you build the project. If you need to change the value of a key you change App.config before you build the project or change the config file in your bin subfolder after your application is built.
