Im using c# .net windows form application.
I have many databases created using sql server Management studio 2005. Each database has several tables. i have a button, when clicked should allow me to select a database among several databases and in that database i want to select a single table. Later i need to display the contents of the selected table into a datagrid view.I came to know that it can be done using Webconfig. How can i acheive this?

    You got some things mixed up a bit. A web.config file is only used for web applications created with ASP.Net.

    For windows application you can use the App.config file, which is like the web.config for web applications. As part of the app.config is the “connectionStrings” section which contains one or multiple connection string for database connections. Take a look at this page:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms254494%28VS.80%29.aspx

    In code you then can retrieve the connections string via the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings properties.
