I'm developing an application by VB.NET which includes an installation wizard. It uses LINQ to SQL.

Is there any way that in last page of installation wizard I can set the connection string once, and the application can then use it after installation?

You can programmatically edit the app.config file when the user clicks Enter/Next after typing in the connection string. – dursk Jan 20 '14 at 00:03
yes, but i cant find any namespace that lead me to app.config file. do i need to edit it like an XML file? – Farhad Jan 20 '14 at 00:05
@Farhad yes, it's just an xml file that you would write to. – Darren Kopp Jan 20 '14 at 01:35
