sql server notification services:
Hi,

I think I want to use a custom content formatter in my app. The reason is
that I will probably want to access external data from my own database...

The problem is that I need to be able to specify to my custom content formatter
the connection string that will allow me to access the data - its not a static
connection string, it can change and so I would like too specify it in my
ADF or ICF....

Is this a straightforward task?

Thanks

Matt

your custom content formatter can have its own initialisation
parameters which you include in the ADF. for a good example see Shyam's
book on Notification Services.
