C#/SQL 2005 question

[Gatt]

Ok looking for info on how to go about storing the connection to a SQL 2005 server in an XML file

Idea: (in Pseudocode)
if not exist xml_file
prompt for sql server info (dbserver, username, password)
else run app.

At present my app has the sql info hard-coded into the app, but that is kinda limiting.

What version of C#? 2005 has a Settings file that you can use for this kind of thing. Have a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730869(vs.80).aspx

Hi,

If You are developing a Windows application, use App.config file for storing connection string details. If web application, use Web.Config file.
