string rawConnString = Properties.Settings.Default.ConnectionString;

I want to do this with “rawConnString”:

rawConnString.Replace("<<DATA_SOURCE>>", server);
rawConnString.Replace("<<INITIAL_CATALOG>>", "tempdb");

Then set the final string to variable finalConnString.

How would I go about doing this?

This is ASP .NET 4.0/C# btw.

    string finalString = Properties.Settings.Default.ConnectionString.Replace("<<DATA_SOURCE>>", server).Replace("<<INITIAL_CATALOG>>", "tempdb");

    will do it all in one line of code. But it’s uglier IMO because you’ll have to scroll. The code in your question seems a LOT cleaner and more readable to me.

    And doing it in one line of code won’t help your performance at all. It should all compile down to the same MSIL either way. I’d leave it as you had it.
