web.config file is generated automatically if we are run a application in first time a but gloabal.asax file is not generated its a optional file,
web.config is a xml file where global.asax is class file

Answer / umesh
web.config file is the root page in the application we use
this file to make the connection with the database,we can
use theme attribute,authentication etc.
Where as global.asax file is for handling the Application
or page level error.

Answer / hridya
We can place connction str in global.asax
bt
web.config file is generally considered a better place
because it's a
simple text file that is easily updated without needing to
recompile
anything and changes go into effect immediately.

Answer / nidhi
Global.asax files allows you to executing ASP.Net application level events and setting application level variable.
The web.config file uses a predefined XML format. The entire content of the file is nested in a
root <configuration> element.
We can create more than one web.config file but we can't have more than one Global.asax file.
Yes we can write connection string in Global.asax file.
First store connection string in web.config file and fetch
in a Global.asax file using below code.
In global.asax
Application["VariableName"] = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnStr"].
ConnectionString;
Now to fetch the value from applictaion variable
string conn = Application["VariableName"].ToString();

sorry to the above answer which is applicable to ASP.NET
application folders..
web.config is which is used for settings to an application
in future requirement.
Global.asax which is handling application level events and
session level events..
I expected we can place the connection string like this
void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application["sqldb"] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
["constr"].ToString();
}
