Can’t remember that Connection String?

Funny how you can do something time and time again only to realize (once you take some time away from it) how easily it can be forgotten.  This happened the other day on of all things setting up a connection string to a SQL database. For some time I had been only working with in memory collections that I wasn’t connecting to or using an external data source. When it came time to create that connection I found myself sitting there staring at the screen!  

After a quick search I stumbled upon a great website doFactory. While I am not endorsing the site I did find a number of useful tools on the site… one specifically was a page dedicated to nothing but the syntax for various connection strings… http://www.dofactory.com/Connect/Connect.aspx

I've been a multimedia developer for over 13 years. Within the past two years I have slowly migrated over to full time .net development with a strong interest and passion for Silverlight, WPF and C#.NET. I've been fortunate to work in a variety of different fields ranging from sports entertainment(NASCAR) to textile, nuclear, and most recently public safety software development. During this time span my love for design, coding and technology has only grown. Fitness, sports, my wife and my two dogs take up the rest of my life when I'm not plugging away on the computer.
