    PS. I forget to mention the template project can read connection information from a config file. It even encrypt s the password when it read/writes from the file.

    Hi Sandip

    I have a Visual Studio Project template that I use whenever I need to create a new VS Tools GP Addin.

    The template project has the following features

    - Use MVC design pattern (this makes large complex projects easier to code/manage)

    - Enables the developed application work both inside of GP as an Addin DLL, or externally inside a hosted EXE   (This feature is great during the development process as GP does not need to be launched and shut down every time a code change is made)

    - Connects to the database via GPConnNet.dll or via OLEDB

    Email me and I will send you the code and run through how the overall template architecture.

    Regards

    Andrew Dean
