Visual Studio Team Development
Has anyone out there done team development with Kentico? We have added the solution to source control but what I would like to do is have both developers use the same dev instance of the database. Is this possible. When the code was installed I chose to use a local database. I imported the site from server where we were developing to my local machine but this just made a copy of the site on my machine. I will be able to make changes to the code and save them to source control but I would like to be able to have both developers using the same database. Does this make sense? Is it possible to change the database connection after installing?

Thanks

RE:Visual Studio Team Development
No problem at all - just put the database (copy from your local machine or wherever is now) on a SQL server that is accesible from all of your developers and make appropriate changes in web.config - connection string.

You can change the connection string after installing - why did you even think about it? Any reason why this shouldn't be possible?:)

Well that was what I would have expected to do and I know I looked for the connection string setting yesterday and looked right over it. I thought that maybe Kentico saved it off somewhere else. Thanks for answering. Still can't believe I missed it the first time.

Hi,

Good practice is also to set up the web farm synchronization between the development machines - http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/web_farm_support_overview.htm
