You can set the ConnectionString property for the File connection manager by specifying an expression in the Properties window of Business Intelligence Development Studio. However, to avoid a validation error when you use an expression to specify the file or folder, in the File Connection Manager Editor, for File/Folder, add a file or folder path.
