help with web app deployment

I wrote a asp.net application that has msde at the
backend. In the web.config I have a connection string
under appsettings whose value is specific to my machine.
When I create the window installer using vs.net, I can't
figure out how I can prompt the user to edit the
web.config with his/her machine specific connection
string. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for the
help!

You can use the "." character or "(local)" to refer to the local server in
the connection string

HI, all. Sorry for posting to so many groups, but I really don't know in which group this question fits best. Anyways, here goes... I have a bunch of DTS packages that my client application runs. I also have a deployment package for my application, which deploys all the DTS files (as described in http://sqldev.net/dts/DotNETCookBook.htm ) on the client.

I am having a real problem with the Launch conditions in VS .NET and can only come to the conclusion that it is a bug. It states quite emphatically in the MSDN that Launch Conditions WILL be executed in the order added. This statement holds true if every Condition has a InstallURL value set. but not if there is no InstallURL value. For Example : I want to check that W2K exists on the target machine before installing SP4. So, I add a...

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
