C# Connection String Write-Read .ini

Question

I want to write and read my connection string in the Baglanti.cs class, but I don't know anything about this. I trying this first time. I search on Google, but I can't find any clear information.

A .cs file is code file that is converted to runtime code during compilation. After successful one you end up with an application, library and so on. When your code is executed you have no such files in execution context, they are part of the whole compiled app/lib. — Rolice, Apr 07 '16 at 07:17

The .NET way of doing this is using app.config file instead of .ini file

Create a new Application Configuration File with the following content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="YourConnectionString" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>
</configuration>

Retrieve the connectionString inside your application using

var connection = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
