What code you have tried ?

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
Perhaps if you explain what you want to split the string into it would help - an example, maybe?

You want to split it in what for exactly? And why? You want to extract something from it?

What does "i am unable to do that" mean? I do not see anywhere where you have tried to use the Split function at all.

Hi harshal

You can get the connection string follow of this sub code:

string strConnectionString=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];

ConnectionString is the name of your connection string form web.config after that you can split the strConnectionString with

strConnectionString.Split()

method.

If you want to the get more information about connection string please review this link:
How to get Connection String from App.Config in c#[^]

Good luck

Best regards.

Use Namespace using System.Configuration to access connectionstring

string myconnection=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]

after that use split() to split the connectionstring

myconnection.Split(';') use index to get Data Source, Initial Catalog etc.

and again split with '='to get final value.
