Storing SQL Con String settings

[kleinma]

I think because its easier in code to read in values from it because there are built in functions to obtain data from the app.config file.

like
Dim MyConnString as string = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("SQLConnString")

where the app.config looks something like this
<appSettings>
<add key="SQLConnString" value="ConnectionStringHere"/>
</appSettings>

I wrote all that freehand.. so it might take some modification to actually work.. but u should get the idea zak

Yeah i catch the idea.... it might be easier to read it, but not to write in it, Writing in XML via DataSet is much more easier, and reading form it is not really a big problem too...

Anyways .. everybody might have is own idea on that ... my 0.02¢
