I need to create a database, and let user choose Windows Auth or SQL Auth. It looks like you could do it with two different components, and two separate conditions, but that doesn't seem very elegant and creates duplicate code. I see old threads such as this that seem like a better solution,

I do this by presenting a dialog to the user and they can choose which option they want. I then have a single action on the back end that sets up the correct ADO.Net connection string based on the users choices. By doing this you are not duplicating code, you just have a minor detour is SQL
