Hi Frank,

You can put connection strings in the appSettings section and it works fine. But, there is also a connectionStrings section (as Viv says), and you can also use that for connection strings. We do it both ways, actually.

This is what it looks like:

The section in the app.config:

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="QueueLocal" connectionString="server=(local);uid=sa;pwd=MyPassword;database=queue"/>
    <add name="QueueAzure" connectionString="Server=tcp:MyAzure;User ID=MyId;pwd=MyPassword;Database=queue;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True"/>
  </connectionStrings>

To access the connection string in C#:

string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["QueueLocal"];
