VS2010 Server Explorer Data Connections: where are they registered or stored? How do I edit them?

Question

We changed a database server and as a consequence, all the Data Connections point to a wrong server. I want to edit them to change the server, but the only thing I can do is delete and re-create them. Not nice.

Where are their definition stored so I can change them?

Answer 1

I've found the file where they are stored: It's %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ServerExplorer\DefaultView.SEView, but the ConnectionStrings are encrypted, so you can't change them :(

In VS15 it's %AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ServerExplorer\DefaultView.SEView, but ConnectionStrings are still encrypted
