Hi i am making a Database Software in C#.
I have MS SQL2008R2 installed in my PC.
the problem is that my clients computers SQL server name is different then mine.
So, the application does not work. i have used Data Adapters and Data Sets in Coding and i used wizard to configure them.
I am asking that is there any way to like a text file that an application reads to find SQL server name or some thing like that!

Solution 1

You should use the connection strings element of your config file to specify the connection string

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bf7sd233.aspx[^]

You should then read the value from the config file when setting up your connection. When you need to deploy to other machines, just change the config file value.
