View 1 RepliesMy application communicates with DB's, images, etc. which are located on our company server/domain.
In real-world use, the app is used only by users on this server/domain. I have connection strings and various other settings which point to the sever for the user. While I'm developing/testing, I may or may not be connected/authenticated to the server/domain. There are many times when I am not.
Currently, I manually change each setting to point to a local address containing copies of needed items when I'm not on the server/domain.My goal is to develop a method to automatically determine whether that domain is available. If not, adjust settings as needed in code. This is for my benefit, while developing.
I'm fishing for various methods/techniques people have developed or use to accomplish this.

Is there any way where by I can make my application to detect itself the Name of the server present in that computer and use it in connection string?
