Below is the basic setting for connection string.
But which database you want to connect, it have some changes for acess/excel

XML

<connectionStrings>
<add name="hhcsnot"  connectionString="Server=database_server_ip;Initial Catalog=databasename;User ID=username;Password=yourpassword"/>
</connectionStrings>

or you can just drag and drop a table from server explorer(connect your database here with studio) in visual studio, It creates automatic a connection string for you...

Thanks

Here is a sample web config file with connection string entry only:

XML

<configuration>
  <appsettings />
  <connectionstrings>
    <add name="SqlConnection" connectionstring="Server=YourServerName;Database=YourDatabaseName;User ID=*****;Password=*****;" providername="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionstrings>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true">
    </compilation>
    <authentication mode="None" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

thank you Zafar
can you show me the standard web config of web project visual studio after add the connection string

The above is a web config file from one of my project. There were other entries in it but for the sake of understanding and keeping it more readable I have omitted that. You can include only this part in your config file and it will work. The other entries in the config file are usually for namespaces, ajax, smtp settings, web service references etc.
