title: Connection String throws Null Reference Exception?
body: <p>I'm trying to connect Microsoft Azure's Database using my ASP.NET but my connection string throws a Null Reference Exception during runtime. The Connection String is <strong>correct</strong> (I got it off MSDN and added my account details to it). Here's the connection string in the Web.config file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt;
  &lt;appSettings&gt;
      &lt;add key="StorageConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=MYACCOUNTNAME;AccountKey=MYACCOUNTKEY" /&gt;
    &lt;/appSettings&gt;
  &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I'm accessing the Connection string from the Code through this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["StorageConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above code throws a Null Reference, pointing at the Connection String. What do you think is wrong? :)</p>
