View 11 RepliesHow To Editing The "Connection String" in the Configuration file by the Code in the Runtime. This is my Code
My.MySettings.Default.Item("ConString") = "New Connection String"
My.MySettings.Default.Save()
This code can edit the Configuration file in the run Time but if I restart the system the Configuration file will return back to the first Configuration.
When connecting to data I always like to use the Configuration methods:

Dim settings As ConnectionStringSettings = _
onfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("csCambra_2")

I would like to enable my app to run from a central database, but I dont want to recompile should the DB server change. Are my only two options saving the connection string to an XML file or the registry?
If so I think the XML file will probably be the way I go at least for me. I dont really want to mess with the registry. I just wanted to check what my options are.
How do I assign a My.Settings.Item connection string to cmd.Connection connection string value?

Does anyone know how to store the connection string in a file rather than hard coding it in the application. For example i have declared this connection string in the form to connect to oracle database and it works. But i assume this is not the right way to go by if one is looking for more secured environment.
strcon = "Provider=MSDASQL;" & _
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; " & _
"CONNECTSTRING=(DESCRIPTION=" & _

I want to ask that where to store connection string in VB.Net.AS in ASP.net we can store connection string in web.config file and access it in the foll. way [code]In VB.net where to store conn. string on form_Load or any other place???
View 1 RepliesI have a question about the App.Config file. My understanding is that the connection string is stored within this file. I have setup my application so that the App.Config file is not only written to c:users<username>appdatalocal but also to c:users<username>appdataoaming. I plan to encrypt the connection string, my question at this point is will it encrypt the connection string in ALL copies of the App.Config file? It looks like at this point that the App.Config file is stored in two places on the hard drive.
View 2 RepliesI am looking to make a data connection with a network server(sql server 2005). When I run the data source configuration wizard, it allows me only to pick a local database file. I want to use a connection string like this "Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=mydb;User Id=username;Password=password;" I know I can do that programmatically. But I would like to know whether I can do that using the data source wizard so that I will be able to use Bindingsources and tableadapters.

View 2 RepliesWhat is the best practice way of detecting internet connection?
From Windows Vista onwards, a status is set in windows that is displayed in the task bar. However, I cannot call this function/api/whatever, since some of the client pc's are still on xp, and only due for upgrade in 18 months.
so do i use and request something like [url]... to try and see it it works, and on the catch block set the return value to false, or is there another way?
Second part of this question, If no network connection is available, I can use [url]... to dial a connection. Will this use internet explorer's settings, or dial the connection marked as default in DUN?

View 1 RepliesI'm writing a Silverlight 4 application and would like to check when opening the installed out of browser application, whether there is a valid internet connection (to then download some data from my website).

EDIT: What I meant by valid internet connection is just connected to the internet

I just can't seem to establish a connection between my two P2P applications over the internet(LAN works perfectly fine).
I have tried the following.
- Disabling Firewall
- Changing Port
The only way I can establish a connection is if I'm connecting to the same computer using the universal IP or the local. Does anyone have a fix for this? Oh and here is the error that I receive when trying to connect over the internet:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 255.255.255.255:8787

How I can check if the internet connection is working or not? i have to check every few seconds without getting stuck.

If you are writing a program that is used to monitor the status of your network, then this thread may not be of interest.
If you are an application programmer that uses network resources to accomplish your goal, i.e. you are using SMTP, FTP, HTTP, NNTP, NTP etc., and you think that you need to check for a connection first, then read on.Follow up to this.Before getting all geeky let's take a little detour...
Five days a week I get up, eat breakfast, check my email, forums, etc., take a shower, get dressed, and then drive to school.Many of you probably have a similar routine.What is interesting about that is not what we do, but what we dont do,because of our expectations and experience.Here is what I dont do.
I dont stick my finger in the electrical socket to see if there is electricity for the coffee maker and toaster.I dont fire up the command prompt and ping some host on the internet to see if I have connectivity.I dont check the battery, tires, water level, clutch fluid level, washer fluid level, etc.,before I drive off.
All of that is based on expectation and experience.So why would you write an application that pings the internet before it did something (SMTP, FTP, HTTP, NNTP, NTP etc)???? Is your experience or expectation that the network will be down?To illustrate and hopefully convince you that, like Oblio, it is pointless, create a new form with three buttons. In the following examples I use a WebRequest / WebResponse as my 'Something'.Here is what some think is a good approach, the classic ping-then-do, what I think you shouldn't do.[code]....What is wrong with this code is that all of the network IO is being done without a Try / Catch block.
I've project where i wanna check if user is connected to internet if he isn't then form must close and another form should show up ! Problem i'm getting is i can't use check it constantly, even if i use while loop
keep looping the following code until condition is wrong or until connection is made
While IsConnectionAvailable() = False
' code goes here for when connection to hotflask can't be made[code].....
but here form 2 keep showing up and it crashes system, is there any simple way to do it .
