Save the Connection String

  • Nov 27, 2025

On this page, select whether or not to save the created connection string to the application’s configuration file.

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.

If the data connection uses server authentication, you can also choose to save the user credentials along with the connection string.
