Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': The local SharePoint server is not available. Check that the server is running and connected to the SharePoint farm.

while deploying the solution using visual studio you may get this error -"Error occurred in deployment step 'Recycle IIS Application Pool': The local SharePoint server is not available. Check that the server is running and connected to the SharePoint farm. "

Solution:
  Hint for the solution is in the error message itself. It is not able to connect to sharepoint server means it is not able to communicate to  database instance. i.e the instance might have stopped. So goto SQL Server configuration manager. Click on start and search for "SQL Server configuration manager". You should know that the sharepoint installed to which instance? In my case it is sql server(sharepoint). It was stopped. Just start the instance by right click on that and select Start option. Now start deploying the solution from visual studio










Hope this may help someone

Programmatically read the value from web.config file

Here is a situation where you need to keep a key value pair element in the web.config file and read them during the run time. I suggest, better keep key /value pair under <appSettings> element and read it programmatically . <appSettings>   <add key=" LicenseKey " value=" 987jKouterhsk " /> </appSettings> Assume , you have added a license key as above in the web.config file. You need the license key during run time. You can access the license key class named "ConfigurationManager". write a property  called getLicenseKey and return the corresponding license key. public string GetLicenseKey {    get{   return  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[" LicenseKey "]; } } Now the property GetLicenseKey will have the value 987jKouterhsk. Use this value as per your requirement. -Cheers Pradeepa Achar
