Can you clarify something please; is an INI file format
required or just the way you assumed it would be done? ie, do the INI files already exist and you have to implement them, or will you be creating the files specifically for your application?
If its the later then i would definitely recommend using the built in Settings i linked to above. When you create tableadapters, Visual Studio stores the connection string there by default.
Whilst rolling your own solution can allow a higher level of customisation and control, i really think the built in system does what you need
