Config files are the standard way to store things like connection strings.
-----Original Message----- From: Daniel Morgan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 8:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] Storing ADO.NET Connection String Parameters Is there an official Microsoft .NET way to store ADO.NET Connection String parameters? If not, what do you recommend for storing connection data for an ADO.NET data source? I would assume storing it in some XML format. Let's say I have multiple databases on different servers using different database software. This would mean different User ID/Password and other keywords in the connection string. These database engines could be Microsoft SQL Server 2000, an older Microsoft SQL Server 6.5, Oracle 7, Oracle 8, Oracle 8i, Oracle 9i, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. in a large corporate environment. The connection string data would be depend on the provider using it.
