Hello

Does anyone have an example to store the connection string to a file, which
can be edited so that the application can run on clients environement.

hardcoding the connection string doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Thanks

HS

Take note that you might want to encrypt the file if you are storing a
password there.
Event better is to store the (encrypted) value in registry

One more interesting info - in .NET 2.0 you can encrypt portions of your
config file - isn't that awesome? :)
(And this doesn't require any code modification).
