Centralize connection strings for multiple projects within the same solution

Question

I currently have three projects in my solution that all have their own App.config file with the same exact connection string.

Is there a way to consolidate the conne

Answer 1

There's a few ways you could do it:

1. Put common configuration settings in machine.config as shown here
2. Put common configuration settings in a central file and link to that in each projects's app.config as shown here
3. Store the configuration settings in the registry

For me, i always work with the last solution :) Good luck!
