I am having my database and other storage on azure cloud storage.i am using Entity Code first appoach but problem is when i am trying to read connection string from cloud storage using CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting() i am getting below error:
Error:The argument 'nameOrConnectionString' cannot be null, empty or contain only white space. An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in EntityFramework.dll but was not handled in user code
This is my Azure project:Demo.Web.Azure
It has 2 configurations file:
1)ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg:
<Role name="Demo.Web">
<Setting name="MyConnectionString"
value="Server=----;Database=DemoEntity;User ID=---;Password=---&w;Trusted_Connection=False;
Encrypt=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;" />
<Setting name="Demo.Storage"
value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=---;AccountKey=------"
/>
2)ServiceConfiguration.Local.cscfg:
<Role name="Demo.Worker">
<Setting name="Demo.Storage"
value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=---;AccountKey=------"
/>
3)ServiceDefinition.csdef:
<ServiceDefinition name="Demo.Web.Azure" schemaVersion="2014-06.2.4">
<WebRole name="RepuGuard.Web" vmsize="Small">
<ConfigurationSettings>
<Setting name="MyConnectionString" />
<Setting name="Demo.Storage" />
</ConfigurationSettings>
</WebRole>
<WorkerRole name="Demo.Worker" vmsize="Small">
<ConfigurationSettings>
<Setting name="MyConnectionString" />
<Setting name="Demo.Storage" />
</ConfigurationSettings>
</WorkerRole>
</ServiceDefinition>
This is my Context file which read Database connection string:
public partial class MyDemoDBContext : DbContext, IDisposable
{
public ObjectContext Context { get; set; }
public MyDemoDBContext()
: base(CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("MyConnectionString"))//Getting Error here
{
Context = ((IObjectContextAdapter)this).ObjectContext;
}
public MyDemoDBContext (string connectionString)
: base(connectionString)
{
Context = ((IObjectContextAdapter)this).ObjectContext;
}
}
Getting error here:
public MyDemoDBContext()
: base(CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("MyConnectionString"))
{
Context = ((IObjectContextAdapter)this).ObjectContext;
}
If you have multiple projects under solution, try setting up the startup project will resolve this issue.(sry for the delay)
