How to get the connection string from a text file

[Fábio Couto]

The company I work is considering to use the Enterprise Library
(january/2006) Data Data Access Application Block. The problem is an internal
policy that forces all company systems to get the connection string from a
text file that already exists in the network.

Is there any way to just pass the connection string to the Data Data Access
Application Block instead of getting it from the app.config or web.config?

I belive I´ll have to implement this functionality, so any help on where to
start would be great.

Thanks for any help.

Fábio,
an alternative would be by using the classes OracleDatabase or SqlDatabase
accordingly to the db you are using, there is a constructor that takes the
connection string as a parameter for both classes.

You can programmatically build the dataConfiguration.config file.

It takes a little work.

You can google search a few more things also, now that you know what you're
