I store my server and database names in a static class that all
libraries use. Using a config file, I can switch from test, staging,
or production servers easily.
I like what TableAdapters are generated by VS.NET 2005 do. It seems
most everything is there for you. However, because the TableAdapter
controls everything, I'll have to go to each and change the connection
string when I want to switch servers. Or, am I missing something?
Are TableAdapters a good idea for loading non UI objects? In other
words, creating .NET instances of database tables. These objects may
interact with other non UI or UI objects.
Thanks,
Brett

You can change the value of the settings property instead:
Properties.Sett ings.Default["LocalConnectio nStringName"] = "new conn string"
Note: it has to be done using the indexer, not the property.
I like to use conditional compilation for this:
#If !DEBUG
Properties.Sett ings.Default["GlobalConnecti onString"] =
Properties.Sett ings.Default.Re leaseConnection String;
#endif

interact with other non UI or UI objects.
A table adapter connects to your database, retrieves a single result set and
fills the corresponding DataTable in a Typed DataSet. You can use the filled
DataTable however you'd like. Bind to it from UI elements or pass it to
business objects for processing - It's your choice.

Probably a newbie question about "state":
My problem is I have a search form, so user enters a keyword <enter>,
then this form posts to another page were the result are displayed. But
this display page uses pagination to break the results up into several
subsequent pages. The 1st page is OK, but 2nd...last display pages loose
the key word variable I initially posted.
Seems I could keep passing the keyword with GET, I already use

Hi,
I want to fire events of Datatgrid without maintaining the view state.
If I disable the ViewState then the events are not fired.
The reason I don't want to maintain view state is because its too heavy when
the data
increases.
Is there any way I only write the ViewState which is required to fire the
dataGrid Events?

Hi
I'm having a problem in adding controls to a page programmatically in
response to a button click.
Composite user controls added programmatically in the
CreateChildControls() method work fine; they maintain their state as
expected. Cool and groovy. However, since CreateChildControls() is
called before the method that responds to the button click, say
AddControl_Click(), for some reason, this control does not maintain its

I have an asp.net 2.0 app that uses a sitemap, Master Page, and has
several content pages. While this feature has simplified the process of
creating a data-driven site menu, it does seem to have some big
restrictions.
Namely, maintaining state on the Master Page across all content pages.
I simply want to keep track of a key value across all content pages.
The only solution I can come up with is using a session variable, which
I hate.
