Default How to update when using drag-and-drop

If you have to change the database of a project (from a test server to a production server) and you have done most of the data configuration with the drag and drop solutions suggested in chapter 4, do you have to go into each of the controls again and reconfigure them? Is there a way to update all of the references to a specific database at once? I would really like to use an approach like the one in chapter 4 for a project I am working on, but I know that I will be transferring to another database with another name once the project is ready for production. Any suggestions??

Can you just update the connection string in the config file?

Thanks

Just change the ConnectionString on the Settings page of the Project Properties window.
