    Hi

    I have a website using BLL and DAL. I want to add a Windows client for functionality that should not be available online. I've split the website into different projects in a solution, and that works fine. In the Windows client I want to use a local database cache to enable offline use with synchronization (to website database).

    How should I set up this so that the DAL points to the online SQL Server for the website, but to the local mdf for the Windows app? I would really like to avoid using two copies of tha BLL/DAL proejcts as they are bound to become unsynchronized. Of course, manually changing the connection string before compiling works as well, but I... well, I tend to forget and thereby breaking the website...

    Hi,

     

    If change the connection string works well, why not define different connection strings for these two projects? You can save the connection strings as the project settings, and choose one according to the projects.
