what does curly braces mean in web.config file?

Question

In my project, connection string is like the following :

connectionString="Server=localhost; Database={DatabaseName}; User Id=sa; password=sa"

What does {DatabaseName} mean? If I want to change the DatabaseName to some other database name, where should I make the change?

What sort of project? Looks like you could just hardcode it in right there... but I have no idea what framework you are using. — Brandon Frohbieter, Mar 05 '11 at 05:18

Remove the curly braces and put in your database name.

For example:

     <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=localhost;database=Northwind;uid=sa;password=admin;" />
