You start by showing your code. The error message is pretty clear. You haven't given the code a connection string to use to tell it how to connect to your database server.

If this is in the Import/Export Wizard, you may have told it how to connect to one database to either read from or write to, but not the other database.

The error message is pretty clear:
Error
The ConnectionString property has not been initialized. (System.Data)
It means what it says: you haven't provided the Connection string which tells the system which instance of SQL Server you want to connect to.

It's like trying to call someone without dialling their number: the phone service doesn't know who you want to speak to, so they can't connect the call.

We have no idea what language you are coding in, but here's an example for C#:
C#
string strConnect = "Data Source=MyInstanceOfSqlServer;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security=True";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnect))
    {
    con.Open();
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT Age, Description FROM myTable WHERE ID = @ID", con))
        {
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ID", myTextBox.Text);
        using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
            {
            while (reader.Read())
                {
                int age = (int) reader["Age"];
                string desc = (string) reader["Description"];
                Console.WriteLine($"{age}\n{desc}");
                }
            }
        }
    }
