Provides the client configuration settings for connecting to a Redis server.

## ConnectionString

Gets or sets the comma-delimited configuration string used to connect to the Redis server.

```

## DisableAutoActivation

- Name: `DisableAutoActivation`
- Modifiers: `get; set`
- Returns: `bool`
- Source: [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/cbc352350f1a9bafbaff10d14a2c8de4ac186a48/src/Components/Aspire.StackExchange.Redis/StackExchangeRedisSettings.cs)

Gets or sets a boolean value that indicates whether auto activation is disabled or not.
