Oh, and regards to your connetion string being stored, you don't necessary have to have it stored in the webconfig area. &nbsp; You can just declare it as a public string in your code or a general Private string for your VB forms near the top of your code, right after the Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form declaration<br />
<br />
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Private strMyConnectionstring As string = &quot;Data Source=yourDatabase;Initia<wbr />l Catalog=pubs;User Id=sa;Password=asdasd;&quot; <br />
<br />

Visual Studio Connection String to MS SQL

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
