Getting initial catalog from the web.config file

I have a connecti开发者_Python百科on string in the web.config file. I have to get the database name from it. Let say my connection sting is

<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=XYZ;Initial Catalog=MyDataBase;Integrated Security=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

I want to get the database name [i.e. Initial Catalog] from the connection string.

How can I get it?

You can use the SqlConnectionStringBuilder for this purpose:

string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LocalSqlServer"].ConnectionString;

SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectionString);

string database = builder.InitialCatalog;
