I have 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 databases (SQLEXPRESS): database1 and database2 ConnectionString (ADO.net)

  • 0

I have 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 databases (SQLEXPRESS): database1 and database2

ConnectionString (ADO.net) should contain databaseName1 When User is User1

ConnectionString (ADO.net) should contain databaseName2 When User is User2

To manipulate data, I use the same EF model for both

Using compiled MVC 3 Application, I would like to switch between databases at runtime,

also for security reasons, I should avoid putting connection string in web.config

Please, if any advise, for how to do that

Many Thanks.

    Why can’t you put the connecting string in web.config? It is more secure to have it there than in your source code unencrypted. Read here about how you encrypt your config: http://chiragrdarji.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/how-to-encrypt-connection-string-in-webconfig/

    If you worry about that kind of security you might have other problems.
