DB Connection

[bNet]

Hi There:

I am using netbeans on my projects I have been including conection string on my code, it makes it dificult when there are changes on the server,

Anyone has an Idea on how can I get the connection string from a .dat file, or how can I have a class with a connection string, and how do I use that class on other classes

Please Help

You can store the connection string in a XML file as your application setting and then create a Application Settings class.. which will load all the settings for the application at application start..

The class preferably should be a static class...
so that properties can be easily accessible and is global across all pages or forms inside the application
