Re: [WiX-users] How to save connection Information during installation

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi Michael,
it means the controls for input values which i am writing in Fragment
(DBDlg.wxs) will bind with the property (in main file product.wxs)?
Can you please give me a Code example for understanding this concept? In
this case to accomplish Step 1 (Server) with checkbox?

Thanks in advance

Best Regards
Adnan
