If you create an ASP.NET application VS.NET automatically creates one.
You will find a Web.Config file in the root of the Web.
If you are building a Windows Forms application create a file in the
directory of the EXE called the same name as the application .config
Example:
MyApplication.Exe - Application
MyApplication.Exe.Config - Application Config file
In the file place the following:
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<!--Please don't add the system administrator account to this
file -->
<!-- Development account
-->
<add key="databaseconnection"
value="server=MyServer;uid=MyUserID;pwd=MyPassword;database=MyDatabase"
/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
You then use the following code to get the connection string
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.GetValues("databaseconnection").GetVal
ue(0).ToString()
Later

Config files are the standard way to store things like connection
strings.

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.
