Dynamic Connection String

Is there any way to override how mojo gets its SQL connection strings? I would like to dynamically determine the connection string on startup or on loading based on environmental variables outside of mojo. Looking through the source code, it looks like my only options are appSettings or connectionStrings sections but I wanted to check.

Cheers,

Mark

Re: Dynamic Connection String

yes those are your only options. you can override the main appSettings from user.config so typically your production site would have a different user.config file with its own connection string and you would not deploy the user.config file from your dev environment when publishing.
