    <p>You can change the connection string at run-time like this. You make the connection string setting available for writing as a separate property inside the MySettings class:</p> <pre><code>Partial Friend NotInheritable Class MySettings Public WriteOnly Property RunTimeConnectionString() Set(ByVal value) My.Settings("MyConnectionString") = value End Set End Property End Class </code></pre> <p>Then, in some place when the application is being initialized (before using any table adapters of typed datasets), write something like:</p> <pre><code>My.Settings.RunTimeConnectionString = My.Settings.ProductionConnectionString </code></pre> <p>Where ProductionConnectionString is a simple String setting. It is a User Scope setting so every user can change it (by assigning a value to it, similar to the code above) and save it by calling My.Settings.Save()</p> <p>This code works well for connection strings which were initially created in the main project and stored in it's settings (= app.config file).</p> <p>The connection string in the app.config actually has a longer name: MyApp.MySettings.MyConnectionString.</p> <p>When you have a connection string stored in the app.config in a class library project, and reference that project in the main project, the app.config files will somehow be merged, so the class library has it's settings.</p> <p>The thing that don't know how to do, is change a setting from the class library at run-time. I could copy the connection string setting from the class library to the main project's app.config. I must keep the same name, which looks something like: MyClassLibrary.My.MySettings.MyConnectionString.</p> <p>Can the same principle I showed above be somehow applied to this second connection string?</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.
