title: change connection string password externally
body: <p>ASP.NET websites should store connection string in web.config file for various reasons and best practice. Today I was asked by my manager that "Can we store DB username and password in another location on top of web.config file? It will be easier to change SQL id/password without having developer change it every time on Production if that is done".</p>
  
  <p>I wanted to ask experts the same question - is it possible to retrieve SQL connection string id/password from another place instead of web.config? I know the best practice is to store it into web.config but I am just curious is it even possible at all?</p>
