Umbraco 9 | No Web.Config | Where is the Connection String?

If you aren't experienced with .Net Core you will notice a number of major differences to .Net MVC and some things will seem very strange. The first thing you may notice is that there is no longer a web config.

No web.config? So where do I find the connection string?

So if there is no longer a web.config file then where are all the app settings and the connection string stored.

I will keep this blog article short and simple point you in the right direction.

App settings and connection strings are now stored in a json file in the project root. (appsettings.json)

I wont get into all the different settings that can go here but I am sure I will write future blog articles about the individual settings that can be stored here. For now I just wanted to point out this is where the connection string is stored incase you need to make amendments.

Hey Peeps,

I'm an entrepreneur and web developer with a passion for coding. I absolutely love working with Umbraco CMS and appreciate the Umbraco community even more.

I've got 10 years+ .Net experience and 7 years+ experience working in the recruitment industry, both coding and marketing job websites. I wanted to use my skills to help give something back to this awesome community and so I decided to build UmbraJobs.com.

My vision & fundamentals

I want this website to be a place where Umbraco Professionals and Umbraco Partners can advertise their services but at the same time I want to filter out all the under-qualified freelancers & agencies that take up the biggest part of other job & freelancer websites. We've all worked hard to gain our Umbraco certifications, partnership status, and help build the Umbraco community to what it is today. I want to see everyone get rewarded for their efforts.

Follow me on social media

If you're an Umbraco professional, partner, employer, recruiter or a passionate Umbraco community builder then I'm more than happy to hear from you. Follow me on my social media channels and please reach out if you have any needs, want help or consultation with anything Umbraco related or just want a general chat.
