Answer / nidhi

Global.asax files allows you to executing ASP.Net application level events and setting application level variable.

The web.config file uses a predefined XML format. The entire content of the file is nested in a
root <configuration> element.

We can create more than one web.config file but we can't have more than one Global.asax file.

Yes we can write connection string in Global.asax file.

First store connection string in web.config file and fetch
in a Global.asax file using below code.

In global.asax

Application["VariableName"] = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnStr"].
ConnectionString;

Now to fetch the value from applictaion variable

string conn = Application["VariableName"].ToString();
