Having .config files for apps is great, however I have a client who is
an ASP (using Citrix XP), and as such all servers have their own copy of
the exe, and all users share the 1 exe (and thus 1 config file) per
server, even though they are all from different companies, and would
need different connection strings to the database.

Has anyone done this type of development before, and does anyone have
suggestions on how to deal with this on a "per company" basis (I'm
assuming I can get the company name or identify the users company from
the Active Directories somehow - maybe even from their email address or
something)?

One option was to get the .config to point to a database that has a list
of connection strings per company for the real databases. Another option
was to have the real database and prepend the company name to the
tables, such that all companies share a common database, but have their
own distinct table names...

Any other thoughts/ideas?

TIA

Dino
