#Remarks
To set the appropriate connection, we recommend that you use the Application Designer‘s Connection section. Via this section, you can both set the required connection and specify the corresponding connection string. If you need to specify the Connection property in code, do it between the XafApplication object’s creation and setup:
static void Main() {
//...
MySolutionWindowsFormsApplication application = new MySolutionWindowsFormsApplication();
application.Connection = new OracleConnection(...);
application.Setup();
//...
}
By default, SQL connection is used.
