Try this. string connStr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[ Constants.appSettingsDataFolderPath ].ToString(); Or you can try this if you have your database connection information in web.config connectionStrings section. string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[ Constants.appSettingsDataFolderPath ].ConnectionString;
