This is my first whack at this so I'm not sure what is the best approach here...
I'm creating a service that will be monitoring some items and updating an SQL db. What is the preferred method for storing the connection data? (server, db, login, pw) Before I would have stored it in .ini file or in a file DSN, but what would be the best way in .net? Would it be better to ask for the info during the package install? How would I go about doing that? Should I stored it elsewhere or still use a DSN? Like I said, this is my first go at making a service to do this so any good rules of thumb or resources on what and how I should do this would be appreciated.
