have to use respective database connection,pwd,

Answer / ganesh

Create appropriate provider at run time(use factory
patterns) based on some configurations setting (probably a
XML file).This will allow user to decide providers
dynamicallly and enable connecting to whatever database he
wants

Answer / suresh jayaraman

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="AccessDatabase" value="Data
Source=servername;Initial
Catalog=databasename;uid=userid;pwd=password"/>
<add key="SqlServerDatabase" value="Data
Source=servername;Initial
Catalog=databasename;uid=userid;pwd=password"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>

and use this Key name where it is needed

If you need SqlServer DataBase

using System.Data.SqlClient;

in DataAcess Layer

public SqlConnection Connection()
{
try
{
con = new SqlConnection
(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
["SqlServerDatabase"].ToString().Trim());

return con;

}
catch (Exception exp)
{
throw exp;
}
}
