Save the Connection String

  • Nov 27, 2025

This page allows you to save a connection string to your application’s configuration file (optional). If using server authentication, you can also choose to save user credentials along with your connection string.

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.

Click Next to proceed to the next wizard page: Create a Query or Select a Stored Procedure.
