If you connect to your database via Visual Studio (use the Server Explorer) and highlight the database, the Properties pane will hold the complete and working connection string which you can copy and paste into your web.config

If you are trying to connect to a database on your web host instead of the development machine you used for testing, then you need to look at your web hosts FAQ: the information will be there, or in an email sent to you when you signed up.

first add new item by right click on solution explorer then select Application Configuration File

and type this code

C#

<configuration>
    <configsections>
    </configsections>
    <connectionstrings>
        <add name="AccountingWindowApplication.Properties.Settings.WinPhoneAppConnectionString">
            connectionString="Data Source=COMPAQ-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=WinPhoneApp;Integrated Security=True"
            providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </add></connectionstrings>
</configuration>
