You configure the SDK in the `Global.asax.cs`:

If you'd prefer not to hardcode your DSN in your source code, you can store it in your `Web.config` file:

```xml {filename:Web.config}
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="SentryDsn" value="___PUBLIC_DSN___" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

suggestion: add short web.config example, without replacing the existing quick-start guide

I do like the example!
But I would prefer if we list the web.config example as an additional alternative to the "default" hardcoded variant.

E.g. before the section ### Capturing the affected user

  • add a new sub-section
    • e.g. ### Configure via `web.config` file
  • insert this text and code snipped in the new sub-section
  • insert a short C# snippet consuming the web.config:
SentrySdk.Init(options =>
{
  options.Dsn = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SentryDsn"];
});


```csharp
using System;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using Sentry.AspNet;
using Sentry.EntityFramework; // If you also installed Sentry.EntityFramework
