    <p>I've tried several approaches with <code>*.gitignore</code> for managing connection strings when working on a larger team.</p> <p>From the official repository of <code>.gitignore</code> files at <a href="https://github.com/github/gitignore" rel="noreferrer">gitignore</a>, I've downloaded <a href="https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore" rel="noreferrer">VisualStudio.gitignore</a> and used it as a starting point for all the projects.</p> <p>The same process can be done by visiting <a href="http://gitignore.io/" rel="noreferrer">http://gitignore.io/</a>, typing VisualStudio, then downloading the file.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dCsEN.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>The approach I currently use is by leveraging the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.sectioninformation.configsource.aspx" rel="noreferrer">SectionInformation.ConfigSource Property</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;connectionStrings configSource="myConnectionStrings.config" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>and then adding <strong>myConnectionStrings.config</strong> to <code>.gitignore</code>, which is nice because it doesn't add the entire <code>*.config</code>.</p> <p>Also you can use the same <strong>myConnectionStrings.config</strong> inside another project (your <strong>MyProject.Data</strong> layer)</p> <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt; &lt;connectionStrings configSource="myConnectionStrings.config"/&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; </code></pre> <p>Just remember to set <strong>Copy always</strong>!</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ANJad.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Also I've tried using <a href="https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html#_tt_filter_tt" rel="noreferrer"><strong>filters</strong> </a> as described at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15150317/git-ignoring-a-specific-modification-to-a-config-file">Git - Ignoring a specific modification to a config file</a>, but I find that to be an overkill.</p> <p>I wonder if there is any other approach that is considered a best practice?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
