I just simply put the connectionstring (together with the user ID and password) in the Application Settings section of the web.config file.Is it OK?

It's OK until someone hacks your Web server. ;-)Phil Weber at 2007-11-11 20:50:44 >

It's a windows application, not ASP.net, so no web.config

Windows apps can use config files as well: they're named <filename>.exe.config, where <filename> is the name of your app's .EXE file. The config file should be deployed to the same directory as the .EXE.Phil Weber at 2007-11-11 20:52:44 >

TIA,
