The connection name 'ConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

Add the correct connection string for your database to the config file.

You should have a web.config file in your web application.

Open the file, and under the <configuration> node, make sure that you have the following:

Assuming you are connecting to a SQL server...here is an example. for connectionString, plug in the correct info and for name, give it a friendly name that you will reference in your code.

  <connectionStrings>
    <add connectionString="yourConnectionStringInfo" name="ConnStrName" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
