Solution 1

I don't think you can do this. Shared (static in C#) functions can only access shared members.

Solution 2

This is not going to work. You'll have to rewrite your GetConnectionString function to accept a parameter then pass in the selected value from your calling code.

i solved it.

Shared str As String
Private Shared Function GetConnectionString() As String
Dim connString As String = "Integrated Security=SSPI;" + "Initial Catalog='" & str & "';" + "Data Source=den;" + "Integrated Security=True;" + "Pooling=False;"
Return connString

End Function
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged
str = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.ToString()
str = "Integrated Security=SSPI;" + "Initial Catalog='" & str & "';" + "Data Source=den;" + "Integrated Security=True;" + "Pooling=False;"

End Sub
