  • Question

  • I have a connect string to connect to MS SQL server which using UserID and Password.

    Because we need change password once a while that I need update my source code and rebuild and publish every time I change password. I just wanted to know if it is password to read from config file or any text file or database to update the connection string

    The connection string like following

    <add name="MyApp.My.MySettings.MyAppConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=MyServer;Initial Catalog=MyDatabase;User ID=MyUser;Password=MyPassword"
                providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> 

    I use Visual Studio 2012 Express Desktop and .NetFramwork 4.0
