Connection string to SQL Server using Windows Service Account

Question

Is it possible to use a Windows Service Account for connection to SQL Server?

If no, how would you allow the user of a windows application to connect to your database then?

How about in a Web App?

I'm pretty much asking for best practices.

Can you potentially provide me with some step-by-step guides as I'm trying to learn.

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. You need to use some ORM for that. Being a branch of Entity Framework ORM, we provide communication with database. You can start learning here

There is a more professional approach, the Repository Pattern. İn here

Here the general logic is the same for both. To connect a Local or Virtual Database.
