Auto create database connection string using INI by C#


Introduction

We can use INI file to auto generate the database connection string.

Background

It can be used in Webform and winForm.

Using the code

using System;

using System.Resources;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

using System.Text;

using System.IO;

using System.Data;
