What do you mean by "Production site"? That you're developing customizations directly in a production environment? If so, immediately abandon this crazy idea! Develop changes in a development environment (and store them in a version control system), then let testers to verify the functionality in a test environment. Only when the version of application is approved, deploy it to production.

I have three sites in my company. They are Dev, Prod and Live. When I choose the Prod DP in the Visual Studio which connect to Prod site, the DP are not Prod DP. All the DP(s) which can let me choose are in DEV DP. That I don't know how to fix it.

You're soo lucky! You almost started to meddle with then production application, which could potentially disrupt the whole production environment! You mustn't ever do it! DON'T DEVELOP IN PRODUCTION!!!

Please isolate your production environment so that developers can't connect to it directly, therefore they can't destroy the production application by mistake or ignorance.

You're fixing a completely wrong problem.

I agree with Martin on doing changes in Production is hazardous.

If I review an implementation and find practices like that, it usually means a lot of negative points for the partner or team.

The solution to your problem that why doesn't Visual Studio connect to the correct environment is because VS is using your registry settings for identifying to which environment to connect to. Those settings can be modified using the AX Client Configuration utility in the Control panel > Administrative tools menu within Windows. You need to point both the Local client and the Business Connector settings from the dropdown to the correct environment, then start Visual Studio using elevated rights. Please make sure your client configuration never points to Production instance directly for development purposes!
