I've a application running now with a database connection and wanna make a deployment of it

I tried much things. So that's why I'm asking now is there a easy guide to follow where I can see what to do.

My connection string is hard coded, after I deployed the application it's still hard coded what is the way to let the Data Source (Computer Name) change automaticly to the new computername where it is installed?

(return @"Data Source=KONING-AF02EAF7\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=KringVrienden;Integrated Security=True";)

SofwareI'm using:
Visual Studio 2008.
SQL Server 2005
SQL Management Server 2005

Please help me.

Solution 1

Connection string should be stored in the config file unless there is a security issue with that.

That can be applied for both Web and WinForm application.

Read and Write Configuration file[^]

Solution 2

It's made in a class in the application (winForm)

./SQLEXPRESS that's working on localhost. But why not on a other host?
