Enterprise library connection string

[Rick Mavrovik]

Hi,
I need to connect to a database the connection string of which is determined
at runtime.
I am using Enterprise Library 3.0 for data access. How can I connect to a
database
at runtime, without hardcoding the connection string in the web.config.

Please help!!

Thanks.

Rick

You need to instantiate the Database class manually, not through the factory.

The classes OracleDatabase and SqlDatabase each have a constructor which
will accept a complete connectionstring.
