I am reading connection strings from my App.config file and for that i have following code.
try
{
string[] dbnames;
int counter = 0;
foreach (ConnectionStringSettings connSettings in ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings)
{
dbnames[counter] = connSettings.Name;
counter++;
}
return dbnames;
}
catch
{
throw;
}
this code giving me error use of unassigned local variable for dbnames. i will have multiple connection strings in my App.config. They can be none,1,2 and so on. Depending on the needs. so i cant statically assign the dbname size. Because there can be a scenario if they exceed the value of assigned size. eg. if i assign it a size of 5, and what if i get 6th connection string. and if i have 1, then remaining 4 will be a memory wastage.
If i am wrong then let me know.
Thanks.
Use this while initializing the array.
string[] dbnames = new string[ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings.Count];
OR use List<string>
