connection string changing for not apparent reason

[aolb]

We have a .net solution that has many projects and uses DPAPI Encryption on the connection string.

When I am running in debug I can see that the connection string is as expected the first 9 times it is called but then changes to the live connection string for no apparent reason.

Have checked and checked the config files and recompiled and recompiled and still I have the connection string changing from dev to live on the 10th time it’s called!!

Where could it be getting this connection string from?

Any ideas? Coz I’ve been stuck on this problem for too long!

Thanks

I would check the surrounding code. Put in some break points, or add some watches, figure out where the connection string is getting populated at and how it is getting that value.

Thanks for that Rick but I have already been there. I have now resolved the problem by deinstalling everything and reloading from visual source safe.

I believe the problem had something to do with the string being picked from some compiled componant somewhere but god knows where. Recompiling the solution should have sorted that out.
