how to use Azure App configuration in .NET framework 4.8 version.

• Import the required namespaces:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.AzureAppConfiguration;

• Replace your existing configuration code with the following:

var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
builder.AddAzureAppConfiguration(options =>
{
    options.Connect("")
           .Use("YourAppConfigLabel")
           .Select("YourAppConfigEnvironment");
});

var configuration = builder.Build();

• For example, to retrieve a connection string:

string connectionString = configuration.GetConnectionString("YourConnectionStringKey");

Hi Shiva

To use Azure App Configuration to read values such as connection strings and secret keys instead of hardcoding them in your .NET 4.8 application's App.config, you can follow these steps:

1. Create an Azure App Configuration: First, you need to create an Azure App Configuration service in your Azure portal. This service will store the configuration settings you want to retrieve in your .NET application.

2. Install Azure.Extensions.AspNetCore.Configuration.AzureAppConfiguration Package: In your .NET 4.8 project, install the Azure.Extensions.AspNetCore.Configuration.AzureAppConfiguration NuGet package. This package provides the necessary extension to read settings from Azure App Configuration.

3. Update Program.cs: In the Program.cs file of your .NET application, add the following code to set up the Azure App Configuration provider:

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.AzureAppConfiguration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
        var services = new ServiceCollection();

        // Add Azure App Configuration as a configuration source
        services.AddAzureAppConfiguration(options =>
        {
            options.Connect("");
        });

        // Build the configuration
        var config = builder.Build();

        // Use the configuration as needed
        // For example, accessing connection string
        string connectionString = config.GetConnectionString("YourConnectionStringKey");

        // Use the configuration in your application
        // ...

    }
}

 

1. Replace Connection Strings in App.config: Remove the connection strings and other sensitive information from your App.config file since you'll be reading them from Azure App Configuration.

2. Set Up Access to Azure App Configuration: In the options.Connect() method call, replace with the actual connection string of your Azure App Configuration service. This will allow your application to access the configurations stored there.

3. Secure Access to Azure App Configuration: Ensure that your application has the necessary permissions to access the Azure App Configuration service securely. You can use Managed Identity or a Service Principal for this purpose, depending on your security requirements.

Hope this helps
