This solution works pretty nice.

You just need to know that all current adapter must be “reconstruct” after a change in the connection string. (tableadapter connection are not reference)

A dataset clear and fill operation on an opened forms will still use the old connection. You have to close (and save data) all “data” forms before making the connection change. (Clear a dataset, rebuild the adapter and fill the dataset again will work too but it’s a very dirty way)

Nice article.

my.Settings doesn’t exist in the Compact Edition. Is there another way to achieve this in the Compact Edition?

Nice. This “feature” has always driven me crazy. What was MS thinking? Very handy work around.

The “right” way to do this is to not specify a username at all, but use Windows Authentication. Then there is no usernames in the connection string and hence no security issues.

Adam,

This is a nice piece of work, and so elegant. Best of all you published it in VB. Thank you very much.

That’s exactly the code that I need! Could you translate in C# though, I haven’t worked with Settings a lot and I am not sure how to set this up.
