[dba-VB] Edit the source for a dataset

Hi John --

Connection information is stored in app.config file, which gets named by VS
as {ApplicationExecutableFileExtName}.config for deployment, e.g.

MyTestApplication.exe.config

When the app is deployed you can edit this XML text file's manually before
you start your app.

While within VS you can edit connection string value via: Select VS project
in Solution Explorer -> Right-Click -> Properties -> Settings

Thank you.

Subject: [dba-VB] Edit the source for a dataset

I created a dataset using the wizard, to connect to a SQL Server instance.
When I did so I told it to connect to the Hamachi IP address rather than the
Virtual Machine name.  When I clicked OK it translated the Hamachi IP to the
VM name.  Very helpful (not).  I have to go back out for another "Arby's
test" but if I were to want to specify the name of the server, how do I do
so?  I am not finding a connection property or anything like it.  Where is
that stuff?
