1. When i use windows application in C#, on linking the SQL database am hardcoding the SQL server details (e.g: i harcode Machine1\SQLEXPRESS ) but if at all am changing the server in future to Machine2\SQLEXPRESS do i need to recompile my Code again ?

• How many initial spaces to print
• After the 1, how many zeros to print
• How many more lines to process
• etc ...
