OLEDB Initialization Props In A Configuration File?

Howdy Folks!

I'd like to put all the properties from the DBPROPSET_SSCE_DBINIT propset into a configuration file (XML probably) such that I can read in and dynamically adjust my SSCE connections. This way stuff like max database size and buffer size can be changed without a recompile.

My idea was to have an XML in the form:

<PropertySet Id = DBPROPSET_SSCE_DBINIT>
<Property Id = DBPROP_SSCE_AUTO_SHRINK_THRESHOLD>
<Options>DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED</Options>
<Type>VT_I4</Type>
<Value>100</Value>
</Property>
<Property Id = DBPROP_SSCE_MAX_DATABASE_SIZE>
<Options>DBPROPOPTIONS_REQUIRED</Options>
<Type>VT_I4</Type>
<Value>1024</Value>
</Property>
.
.
.
</PropertySet>

Now my question is...can y'all think of any better way to convert these strings that I'll retrieve (e.g. "DBPROP_SSCE_MAX_DATABASE_SIZE") to their enum'd equivalents than to do the following:

if(PropertId == L"DBPROP_SSCE_AUTO_SHRINK_THRESHOLD") return DBPROP_SSCE_AUTO_SHRINK_THRESHOLD;
if(PropertId == L"DBPROP_SSCE_MAX_DATABASE_SIZE") return DBPROP_SSCE_MAX_DATABASE_SIZE;

It's seems entirely too unelegant and wasteful...but maybe I'm being too picky. It also has the disadvantage of needing to be updated if more properties are added with subsequent versions.

What do y'all think? Thanks as always!
