Regarding Connection string name when a user adds a dbml file

20 New Member
Hi,
I am doing a sample VS 2008 project.

I have added a dbml file.On the designer,I have dragged a table "emp" from a database "Employee" which is in my server(for example Server1).
It created an app.config with connection string as
<connectionStri ngs>
<add name="LinQ2008. Properties.Sett ings.EmployeeConnect ionString"
connectionStrin g="Data Source=Server1; Initial Catalog=Employe e;User ID=abc;Password =somepassword"
providerName="S ystem.Data.SqlC lient" />
</connectionStrin gs>
Next,I have added another dbml file.On the designer,I have dragged a table from a database "Employee" which is in a diffferent server(for example Server2).

Now in app.config the connection string is created as
<connectionStri ngs>
<add name="LinQ2008. Properties.Sett ings.EmployeeConnect ionString1"
connectionStrin g="Data Source=Server2; Initial Catalog=Employe e;User ID=xyz;Password =somepassword"
providerName="S ystem.Data.SqlC lient" />
</connectionStrin gs>

My doubt is
(1) When two datasources/servers having same database name(for example Employee) are there,then if we drag a table from Employee database from "Server1", a connection string is created as "EmployeeConnec tionString" in app.config.
If we drag a table from Student database from "Server2", another connection string is created as "EmployeeConnec tionString1" in app.config.

How to have a common connectionstrin g name instead creating different connection strings.

Thanks,
Silpa

This is a question that has haunted me for quite some time. if you build a 4 tier database application where the 4th tier is the database server (MS SQL 2000), where do you build the connection string? The obvious answer is to hard code it into the middle layer and use a config file. The problem is the database application needs to be distributed to purchasing clients. Therefore, you do not know, at development, what the SQL

Hi All, I am currently trying to link in Access 97 to a table in a MSSQL 7 server. Initially the link is fine, however, when I close the access database and re-open it from the same network lacation on a different machine, it tells me that the ODBC connection to 'SQL Server Name' failed. How can I create the linked table permenant no matter what machine the networked database is opened on?

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).

Hi, I am using VB 2005. My application has many data bound controls. The connection is stored in the app.config file. I want the application to start with a default connection string and while during the runtime, the user can click on a button and change the connection string without exiting the application. I would really appreciate any sort of help.

I'm trying to fix a "sub optimal" situation with respect to connection string management. Your thoughtful responses will be appreciated. I just started with a new client who has a bunch of legacy ASP.NET applications that all manage connection strings in Web.config the same way, like this: This client has one Web.config file per application, and that one Web.config file is duplicated across all environments (i.e., dev machines, test,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
