As an extension to this, I often utilize a Microsoft Data Link(UDL) file to simplify connection strings (or to make changing them not involve any changes to the actual code.

Using with ADO
UDL API

Yeah good article. Thanks for the links guys. I've been struggling a bit with SQL connection strings, and these are definitely helping.

Application Name=

does not seem to work, it does not show up in Activity Monitor. I've also tried APP= and that doesn't work either

hey Peso, what do you mean? It's assuming you're using the SqlConnection object (either directly or via Linq/NHibernate/Entity Framework) so you wouldn't ever need to specify the provider as such? (unless I'm missing something!)

If there is a problem, do let me know and we'll get it fixed. Thanks
