Hi,
At startup the user log on and chooses the name of a client from a
dropdownlist, which then changes dynamically the connection string (the
name of the client indicates which database to use).
I then change dynamically the connection string by doing :
My.Settings.Ite m("ConnectionSt ring") = "some connection sring"
The problem is that if another user loggs in and chooses another
client, then obviously it changes the connection string again and the
first user will be in trouble !
How can I change the connection string PER user ? In the setting file,
the connection string can only be an application-level variable and
can't be a user variable for some reason :(
Thank you

What do you mean by the "setting" file? Do you mean web.config...?
Hi Mark,
No, by setting file I mean the Settings.settin gs file, which actually
interacts with the app.config file...
Any clue ?

It looks like you're writing a Windows Forms App.
If so, you should post your question to the newsgroup:

Yes - you're in the wrong newsgroup. This group is for ASP.NET.
No I'm not in the wrong group! I'm doing ASP.net !
My website has a business object, which is a vb.net project in visual
studio, that's why I also have a app.config file. So can someone help ?

You know, if you'd said that in the first place... :-)
1) Store your "base" connection string in your business object's app.config
file (or anywhere else you like)
2) In your web app's Session_Start event, read in the base connection
string, amend it as necessary, and store the amended string as a Session
variable.
3) Amend your business object to allow the connection string to be passed to
it.
4) When referencing your business object, pass in the amended connection
string from the Session variable.
Thanks for your help Mark,
Yeah I should have been more explicit in my first post, sorry.
Regarding your solution, I'm not sure if I can do that in the
Session_Start event. When is this called ?
I need to amend my base connection string, once the user has correctely
logged in (ie, username + password are correct and he chose a valid
client in the list). The the identification stored procedure returns
the new connection string, which is the one I should use.
Is the Session_Start event going to be called each time I create a new
session variable?

S'OK...

Session_Start event. When is this called ?
The clue is in the name - the Session_Start event fires every time a session
starts i.e. every time a browser makes a new connection to your site.
I need to amend my base connection string, once the user has correctely
logged in (ie, username + password are correct and he chose a valid

Exactly.

session variable?
No - see above.

starts i.e. every time a browser makes a new connection to your site.
Ok, then it's too early in the process :) If Session_Start is fired
when the URL is requested, then obviously the user hasn't logged on
yet. Therefore I don't know anything about the new connection string at
that time and I can't amend the original one in this event. Does this
make sense ?

I was wondering what the best way would be to dynamically determine and

that location. I was planning on doing this from the codebehind pages which

I am using VB 2005. My application has many data bound controls. The

I want the application to start with a default connection string and

connection string without exiting the application.
I would really appreciate any sort of help.
