What property is used for connection string by dbunit test when deploying database?

Question

When deploying a database using msbuild, I use the targetconnectionstring property.

Apparently, dbunit test does not use this property to deploy the database.  Anybody has an idea what I should look for to get the database server in dbproj when the database is deployed via a db unit test?

Answer 1

Got it, it is $(FinalTargetConnectionString) which I found in the Microsoft.Data.Schema.TSqlTasks.targets. :)

It is only filled at a certain point so when it is refered to has an impact.
