I believe we have found the answer: Just add Network Service, and remove
everyone.
Again, Dominick thank you for the answer regarding my first question. You
are .net rocking!

Your answer worked. However, now I need to know how to configure permissions.
on the Secure directory.
We are using Windows 2003, and IIS6. What do we need to do regarding
permissions for the Secure folder.

hi,
the indexer on .ConnectionStrings expects the name of the connection string,
in your case "myConnectionString".
that said - which config entries WebConfigurationManager/ConfigurationManager
can "see" depends on the location from where they were called
if you want to access the connection string that is stored in ~/secure from
~/someOtherDir - this want work e.g.
you can explicitly open the config file
Configuration c = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~/secure");
return c.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings["data"].ConnectionString;
or just store the connection string in the root directory where it will be
used...

Using asp.net 2.0, visualstudio .net 2005, sqlserver2000.
How do I get the myConnectionString when it is in a Web.Config located
in a different folder. I used the following but it is not working.
I have a App_Code\DAL folder. Inside it, I have a Db.cs file. I
tried the following in the DB.cs file.
//Get default connection string
connectionString =
WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["~/Secure/myConnectionString
"].ConnectionString;
I have created a folder inside my website folder, named Secure, and
placed a web.cofig file that contains the following in the Secure
folder.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0";>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="myConnectionString"
connectionString="Data
Source=MyDomain\MyServerName;Database=MydatabaseName;uid=xxx;pwd=xx;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
</system.web>
</configuration>
My website contains a web.config file with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
