Question

I was wondering if it’s possible to host my database on a remote server and still run the application on my local machine while I’m developing it.

I’m using asp.net.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, rather than using . or the name of your machine as the server, just put in the IP address.

So if you’re just using a connection string

Data Source=yourRemoteServer;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
