C# - Setting connection string with username and password in ASP.Core MVC

In ASP.NET Core MVC, you typically store connection strings in the appsettings.json file and use the IConfiguration service to access them. Here's an example of setting a connection string with a username and password in an ASP.NET Core MVC project:

  1. Open your appsettings.json file and add the connection string:
{ "ConnectionStrings": { "MyDbConnection": "Server=myserver;Database=mydatabase;User Id=myusername;Password=mypassword;" }, // other configurations... }

Replace myserver, mydatabase, myusername, and mypassword with your actual database server, database name, username, and password.

  1. In your Startup.cs file, configure the IConfiguration service in the ConfigureServices method:
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration; public class Startup { // other methods... public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // other services... IConfiguration configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder() .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()) .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json") .Build(); services.AddSingleton(configuration); } // other methods... }
  1. In your controller or service where you need the connection string, inject IConfiguration:
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration; public class MyController : Controller { private readonly IConfiguration _configuration; public MyController(IConfiguration configuration) { _configuration = configuration; } public IActionResult MyAction() { string connectionString = _configuration.GetConnectionString("MyDbConnection"); // Use the connection string as needed... return View(); } }

Now, you can access the connection string using _configuration.GetConnectionString("MyDbConnection") and use it to establish a connection to your database.
