I assume you have it stored in you Web.Config file. If that is the case, here is the solution:

hi,
First you should keep your connectionstring in the web.config file of your application
and get the connectionstring in your code like this:

C#

string connStr=ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myConnection"].ToString();

here myConnection is the name of ConnectionString in web.config file.

and if you store the connection string in any other file on your system then get it like

C#

string connStr = File.ReadAllText("myFile.txt");

but the second one is not a good way.
