1. A damping sliding rail applying to an apparatus with a first casing and a second casing corresponding to each other, the damping sliding rail comprising:
a first elastic member disposed in the second casing to provide a force for opening apart the first casing from the second casing;
a buffer member disposed in the second casing to provide a damping force for limiting an opening speed of the first casing from the second casing;
a buffer stud disposed in the first casing to compress the buffer member while opening the first casing from the second casing;
a fixing stud disposed in the first casing to compress the first elastic member for storing an elastic energy while closing together the first casing and the second casing; and
a switch disposed in the second casing for fixing or releasing the fixing stud, while releasing the fixing stud, the first elastic member releasing the stored elastic energy to generate a relative motion between the first casing and the second casing, and the buffer stud touching the buffer member to reduce the opening speed.
