It's ok. Even if you are new to WPF, it's not much different from normal Winforms programming or Web programming in case of keeping ConnectionString in Config file.

Further, once the connection string is defined in the config file, it would not get automatically changed. It will remain the same as long as you yourself don't change it manually or by code.

Just put the Connection String in your config file as you put other values in it and access it when needed.

Solution 2

i guess ,the connection string remains the same weather u are working on wpf or simple .net application

if your database is still attatched to the sql server then use the following connection string

<add name="cs" connectionString="server=.;database="mydatabase" uid=sa"/>

hope it works. :)
