Store the connection string in your project settings.

What I like to do is store several connection strhings in the project settings, then have another setting that indicates which of those settings to pick from. Makes debugging easier, as you can switch connection strings without having to store them somewhere else.

Solution 3

First of all, you need to indicate if you are working with Windows Forms (most likely), ASP.net (less likely), or WPF (least likely). Second of all, that link I sent you shows you how to use settings... step by step. Read it.
