Hi,

I have a few questions regarding connection manager.

First I need to be able to "purge" all connections stored on user machine in Connections.dat.

This is what I came up with so far:







Does this make sense?, or is there something within SF that I could use? Also my concern is when this code runs on the machine where loged user is not in admin or power user roles. Would this code work?



Second, is there a way to write a new connection string to Connection.bat without calling .SetConnection or .ShowAvailableConnectionsWizard (i.e. without user interaction), my FS application reference other assemblies that manager their own connection strings, and I wont to be able to store them in ConnectionManager.



Thanks

Well, you can talk to these files the same way that we do.  In the UI assembly there are two BOs that talk directly to the applicationkeys.dat and connection.dat files.  They wrap the encryption, etc.  So you could just create an instance of each to manipulate these files. 

Wow, I didn't know that. That's very cool.

Also a quick look at the dbeApplicationdData.vb will reveal all code needed to handle the XML file for things like the Server Settings for the Server Console application.

Thanks Trent
