| DataLink Designer ... simple utility but helpful

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

| fiogf49gjkf0d 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) | |
