Namespace: DevExpress.DataAccess

Assembly: DevExpress.DataAccess.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public bool StoreConnectionNameOnly { get; set; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Property StoreConnectionNameOnly As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to store only the name of a data connection; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When this option is enabled, the connection parameters are restored from the application configuration file by using the deserialized connection name.

To always serialize only database connection names, set the DataConnectionBase.StoreConnectionNameOnly property to true. This will guarantee that the database credentials are never exposed in report layout definitions.

When this property is set to false (the default value), the resulting behavior depends on the settings defined for the SqlWizardSettings.DatabaseCredentialsSavingBehavior and IConnectionStorageService.CanSaveConnection properties.
