Changing Lightswitch database connection at run time

I am looking to make it possible for my application to change it's connection string at runtime. I have a connection string in the Web.Config file, but when I update the config file and restart the application, the connection string does not update. Also, I do not seem to be able to use the configuration manager from within my application. Is changing the connection string in the Web.Config file the best way to go about making this a dynamic connection?
