(SalesLogix Business Partner)
Customer FX Corporation
I am the creator of slxdeveloper.com. As the developer, architect, chief editor of the slxdeveloper.com site, I attempt to build and support the SalesLogix developer community as much as possible, supporting my fellow business partners and providing a place where companies with SalesLogix can learn more about developing and integrating with SalesLogix.
For my day job, I lead all development efforts for Customer FX Corporation as the Director of Development. I work from my home in Arizona but find myself often in Minnesota. I have worked with SalesLogix since it's version 2.13 release and have architected & developed several large applications & frameworks built on new technologies that make use of SOAP, XML, web & windows services while integrating with SalesLogix. Those who know me understand that I am not someone who enjoys spending time in the Architect. Instead, I try to focus on taking SalesLogix to new levels and keep it up with current industry standards and technological advances.
I have 15+ years of formal programming experience using several languages such as C#, Delphi, Visual Basic, C++, T-SQL, & Java - but C# is my passion. You can read more about my love of programming and non-SalesLogix development articles on my personal weblog on RyanFarley.com, and more SalesLogix related entries on my SalesLogix weblog at CRM Developer.
Check out my new product Outlook2CRM - Easy, customizable, SalesLogix integration for Outlook!
Happy coding.

| DataLink Designer ... simple utility but helpful
Posted: 3/24/2003 1:16:15 PM | Ryan:
I end up repeating this phrase quite often "Thanks". I could come up with the connection string on my own, but this just makes this mundane task easy with its simplicity. Thanks

Posted: 6/24/2004 8:21:36 AM | This is nice, there is another way to do this. Create a ".txt" file. Rename the file to ".udl", when you double-click on the file it will display the standard connection designer as above.
However, if you want the connection string, simply open the ".udl" file in Notepad, or a text-editor - it is just a text file. So - don't be saving passwords in there, eh! (I found this out from a client, who had strict prod/test/dev lockdowns, and seperate UDL files for each environment - with embedded passwords) | |
