changing connection string from different servers to get report in c#

[adeel shahid]

I m using .NET Crystal Report but i have to create report using different servers. right now the connection string is static using store procedure but i want to change the connection string at runtime using the storeprocedure.
Can any one help that how can i create a report using a different server address using storeprocedure and dataset.

Thanks

Is the stored procedure on the other server?
Just create multiple connection strings, thatn you can use the one you want, when you want.

string constring1=<some connection string for server1>;
string constring2=<some connection string for server2>;


Then depending on which one you want, just use the correct connection string on your database connection object?

thanks for reply

but we need to change the string on runtime. as user connects from internal or external server the connection string should be according to the login.

ok then do that.
Based on the login, decide which connection string to use.


If you are unsure how to create a string at runtime, I would REALLY suggest you go through a tutorial on the basics of programming.
