Connection String throws Null Reference Exception?

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 correct (I got it off MSDN and added my account details to it). Here's the connection string in the Web.config file:

<configuration>
<appSettings>
    <add key="StorageConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=MYACCOUNTNAME;AccountKey=MYACCOUNTKEY" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

And I'm accessing the Connection string from the Code through this:

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["StorageConnectionString"].ConnectionString);

The above code throws a Null Reference, pointing at the Connection String. What do you think is wrong? :)

You are using appSettings instead of connection strings. You need to change code to use appSettings:

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"]);
