ASP.NET Core 6/ASP.NET Core 7: Accessing Configuration during startup

 With the changes to Program.cs in .Net Core 7, we can still access confirmation options as below

appsettings.json

{ 

  "Settings": {

    "AccessTokenKey": "abcd123",

    "AccessTokenExpirySeconds": 3600,

    "RefreshTokenExpiryDays": 30

  } 

}

Program.cs

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder();

ConfigurationManager config= builder.Configuration; // allows  access to  the config

IWebHostEnvironment environment = builder.Environment;// access the environment

                    var key = builder .Configuration["Settings:AccessTokenKey"]; 

Cheers,

.NET 7: a connection establish error

 When working with .Net 7 WEB API projects you might have encountered following error when connection to SQL Server.

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.).

This occurs due to a breaking change in SQL driver.

This issue can be resolved by adding TrustServerCertificate=True attribute to your connection string as shown below.

"ConnectionStrings": {

    "DefaultConnection": "Server=SQL_SERVER_NAME;Database=DATABASE_NAME;Integrated Security=True;TrustServerCertificate=True;",

}

 Cheers,
