What is the difference in writting ConnectionString as part of section and in section in Web.Config?

hello! The connectionStrings element specifies a collection of database connection strings, as name/value pairs, for ASP.NET applications and features. In previous versions of ASP.NET, connection strings were stored in the appSettings. In ASP.NET 2.0, features, such as Session, Membership, Personalization, and Role Manager, rely on connection strings that are stored in the connectionStrings element. You can also use the connectionStrings element to store connection strings for your own applications. for more info go through this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms254494(v=vs.110).aspx :)
