Select a Connection String

  • May 30, 2024

This page allows you to specify a connection string used to establish a data connection. The following options are available:

Default Connection String

Choose the default connection string if it is specified in the application’s configuration file.

Predefined Connection String

Select an existing connection string available in the current project.

Note

For .NET projects, install Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration and Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json to obtain a data connection string from appsettings.json when you select a predefined data connection in the Data Source Wizard.

Custom Connection String

Specify a custom connection string in the connection string editor.

See Connection Strings in the ADO.NET Entity Framework for more information.

Click Next to proceed to the next wizard page. If the current Entity Framework model contains stored procedures, go to the Bind to a Stored Procedure page; otherwise, proceed to the Configure Filters page.
