.Net 2 connection strings
The .Net 2.0 allows specific connection string sections on the configuration file. Those can be managed by UI tools that comes with the framework. You can use them to supply ActiveRecord with a connection string:
<configSections> <section name="activerecord" type="Castle.ActiveRecord.Framework.Config.ActiveRecordSectionHandler, Castle.ActiveRecord" /> <section name="activerecord-asp-net-2.0" type="Castle.ActiveRecord.Framework.Config.ActiveRecordSectionHandler, Castle.ActiveRecord" /> </configSections> <connectionStrings> <add name="Test" connectionString="Test Connection String"/> </connectionStrings> <activerecord-asp-net-2.0> <config> <add key="hibernate.connection.connection_string" value="ConnectionString = ${Test}" /> </config> </activerecord-asp-net-2.0>
