Hello,

I want to load a connection string form an external xml file, not the web config file.

i changed the library , in Common-> Utilities-> Config.vb the function GetConnectionString to load the connection that i want so i delete them from the webconfig.

All seems to wrok fine.

The problem is when i try to loggin the site there is an exception because still try to load a connection string from the appsettings tag.

I try to find where loads the appsettings tag in the library and change it to load from my external file but i cant find it.

The version that i use is 5.0.0 and 4.8.4.3

Does anyone know how to load connections strings from an external file?

modifying DNN core is a risk, which should be avoided, because not all modules may use the same API and you need to redo the modification for all upgrades.
