I’ve created a SharePoint web part. The web part makes use of a custom database. During installing my web part I get the database name and the login details for accessing the database. I need to read these values given during the installation in my application and connect to the database.
Where I can store/retrieve these values? Since my application resides inside an asp.net web application how easily can I achieve this?
I would recommend that you avoid the SPPersistedObject altogether and store things in the SPPropertyBag at the farm, web app or site level.
