First set connectionstring in web.config/app.config

Then read connectionstring from there
sqlconnection con=new sqlconnection(connectionstring from config)

Hi Kumar,

If you have more than one region for development(DEV,UAT,PROD) its a good practise to store connection string in web.config.
Which will be easier for you to read the connection string and establish the connection in code behind file.

In Web.config file find connnectionstring section and replace with below code

XML

<connectionStrings>
<add name="localConnectionString" connectionString="SERVER=.\SQL2008;DataBase=StudentDatabase;UID=rk.prabakar;pwd=*****;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
<add name="serverConnectionString" connectionString="Server=server\SQL2008;Database=StudentServerDatabase;User ID=sa;Password=*******;providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>

In server side code,

C#

con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["localConnectionString"].ToString()); //Points to local database connection string
or
con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["serverConnectionString"].ToString()); //Points to server database connection string

Once you finalized with database, you can establish the connection like con.open();

And you start executing your command.
So connecting to server database is solely depends on the connection string.
