Better way to manage connection strings in visual studio?

Question

I have multiple projects which connects to the same database through the connection-string, and they all have the same app.config data.

When, or if, I change my database I'm going to have to update all of these projects, and I will likely forget some which will make things very messy.

Is there a way to unify all these connection-strings to a single place to reduce complexity?

Answer 1

if your all application run on a single machine then what you are looking for is

ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration

it is the way of using a single exe configuration among multiple exe.

Hope this help you out.
