I want to keep an API key out of my code. I attempted to follow this document 

What is the process to access an API key to use in my code but not be in my code?

Hello,

Did you fully read the following?

/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets?view=aspnetcore-2.2&tabs=windows#access-a-secret

Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmarked them if they provide no help, this will help others who are looking for solutions to the same or similar problem. Contact via my Twitter (Karen Payne) or Facebook (Karen Payne) via my MSDN profile but will not answer coding question on either.

NuGet BaseConnectionLibrary for database connections.

It is the same link I referenced in my question. The link is not clear.

Hi Doctor,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your link, I think your problem is more related to asp.net core. Therefore, I suggest that you could post in the following forum.

https://forums.asp.net/1255.aspx/1?ASP+NET+Core

The Visual C# forum discusses and asks questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries, samples, and tools.

Best Regards,

Jack
