I try to write my connection string in the appsettings.json file and add it to my startup file, but I keep getting the value cannot be null. Parameter Name: connectionString. I use various examples, but I don’t seem to see this new installation with the ASP.NET 1.0 Core startup class.
Apps.txt file:
{
"Data": {
"DefaultConnection": {
"ConnectionString": "Data Source=server;Initial Catalog=dbase;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
},
"Logging": {
"IncludeScopes": false,
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Debug",
"System": "Information",
"Microsoft": "Information"
}
}
}
}
Method Attempting Startup.cs
public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env)
{
var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(env.ContentRootPath)
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
.AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true)
.AddEnvironmentVariables();
Configuration = builder.Build();
}
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
var connStr = Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");
System.Console.WriteLine(connStr);
services.AddDbContext<DbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(connStr));
}
