Question

I’m working on an mvc .net application and I’m using Entity Framework. I have the same database in different servers and I want to change the current server. I tried to change the connection string in the web.config file but it didn’t work. How to safely change the server?

Answer 1

You must replace Data Source

<connectionStrings>
<add 
name="AdventureWorksEntities"
connectionString="metadata=.\AdventureWorks.csdl|.\AdventureWorks.ssdl|.\AdventureWorks.msl;
provider=System.Data.SqlClient;
provider connection string='Data Source=.....;
Initial Catalog=....;
Integrated Security=True;
Connection Timeout=60;
multipleactiveresultsets=true'" 
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
