My application contains a "config" file that contains a set of database
connection strings.  In my application, I loop through all of those
databases, connect using the connection strings stored in the "config" file
and perform certain actions.

I need a way to prompt the user to define an unlimited number of connection
strings that will then be written out to the "config" file.  I can create a
custom UI for that will prompt the user for the ServerName, DBName, UID and
PWD, but I don't know where to go from here.  Ideally, I would like to
display each connection string defined in a table or listbox so that the
user can see what they defined and what is still remaining.

This is where I'm lost.  If it was just one connection string, I would store
those four values in properties and they edit the "config" file with those
values.  If someone has any ideas I would appreciate any assistance with the
following:

1. Where can I store the information as the user enters each connection
string?
2. How should I display the list of connection strings defined on the UI?
3. Is there a way that I can utilize the "XMLFile" element dynamically to
insert each connection string by looping through the list of connection
strings or will I need a custom action to perform this step?

Thanks for your help.
