Reading Telligent's connection string from ConnectionStrings.config file

HI Patrick,

Thanks for your response.

1. Configuration manager would be helpful if the connection string is in the web.config or app.config file. Since Telligent's connection string is in ConnectionStrings.Config file, we had to write custom code to traverse that XML file and get that value.

2. I did not understand your second point.

-->  You can also store the connection information as plugin configuration which would protect you from us changing where and how we store connection information

- can you please elaborate it?

The connectionstring is in the web.config file.  If you look in the web.config file, you'll see the connectionStrings section is delegated to the connectionStrings.config file

   <connectionStrings configSource="connectionStrings.config"/>

You can use the standard ConfigurationManager class to access that connection string - that's how all our Core code accesses it.
