    <p>I am having trouble changing the connection string used by entity framework code first for my project. I created a MVC3 project and then added two projects, DomainClasses and DataAccess.</p> <p>The DomainClasses project has one class file named Classes.cs with one class:</p> <pre><code>public class User { public int ID { get; set; } public string Username { get; set; } public string EmailAddress { get; set; } public string Password { get; set; } public int StatusID { get; set; } public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>The DataAccess project has one class file named PLNQDB.cs with one class:</p> <pre><code>public class PLNQDB : DbContext { public DbSet&lt;User&gt; Users { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>I have a reference to each of these projects inmy MVC project and everything builds fine and runs and even creates the database file that I am able to save to and retrieve data from.</p> <p>When running the project I can see in the Autos window the connection string being used under this.db.base.Database.Connection.base.ConnectionString =</p> <pre><code>"Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=PLNQ.DataAccess.PLNQDB;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" </code></pre> <p>My question is how do I override this autogenerated connectionstring to use my remote server. I have added a connection string to the web.config file of the MVC project.</p> <pre><code> &lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Data Source=255.255.255.255;Initial Catalog=PLNQ;User ID=blah;Password=blah" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; </code></pre> <p>but everytime I run the project it still uses the auto generated connectionstring. I have also tried adding App.config files with the same connection string in both the DataAccess and DomainClasses projects.</p> <p>What am I missing?</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.
