I want to determine which server my app is running on - dev or production -
so I can set a global connection string to the dev or production database
server. The Application_start in the global.asax.vb looks like the place to
do this. How can I test to see which server my app is running on. In the
past, under ASP, I would test in each page using the
Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"). The Request object can not be used
in the context of the Application_start.

The static property Environment.MachineName will give you the netbios machine name. You could
check against this value to determine which values to use for your connection string
Some limitations apply such as if you are using server clustering the node is returned.

HTH!
