Web Applications Flexible Connection Strings
Previously, when you built a Grid or Dialog
component against either an ADO or AlphaDAO data source, and you specified
the connection string using a named connection string, the named connection
string was resolved at design time. In effect, the named connection string was
nothing more than a shortcut for specifying a hard-coded connection string. Now,
when you define a Dialog or Grid component using a named connection string, the
connection string is resolved at runtime, by looking up its value in the
a5_application.a5i file, which is always automatically published when any file
in your project is published to your server. This means that a connection string
can actually be changed after the project has been published, by editing the
a5_application.a5i file.
