The only way you can really do it is with a second file called
dbconnstring.xml that has to be deployed with the application, that's if you
have complete control fo the DALC and it's not generated code.

The DALC would have a function to read the dbconnstring.xml and supply the
connection string, which that should allow you to change the
dbconnstring.xml's connection string data and save it, while the application
is running.

It doesn't even need to be a xml type file. It could be just a plain.txt
file that had the connection string in it.
