Thanks for your response Kimbell,
Yes, the
========
"Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if the

you mentioned is really a potential problem with my workaround. And your
appoarch on changing the ConnectionModifer to public is OK for
programmatical accessing. However, in most cases of ASP.NET 2.0 web
application, we will use design-time ObjectDataSource control to reference
the TableAdpater, and this is done through IDE interactively no code is
involved. So in such scenario, we may need to predefined the connection's
initilization in TableAdapter's code.
Anyway, I really appreciate your advice on the configuration setttings ,
and since this is a new feature involved in 2.0, I think it'll be improved
in the sequential versions so as to ease the component, class library
developing and seamless integrated into
front end applications.
Thanks,

| So what you are recommending is to change the autogenerated code?
| What about the following warning at the top of the file:
|
| "Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
the
| code is regenerated."
|
| Particularly the statement about lost changes.
|
| I think a better approach is to change the ConnectionModifier to public
in
| the designer; then set the connectionstring from code.
|
| I was hoping for a more elegant solution since Microsoft has put some
work
| into this settings system. Maybe in the next version.
