First of all why you not share your connection string in question?

Sql Connection string in Windows Authentication. you can change as you want. like that

C#

SqlConnection con= new SqlConnection("Data Source=your User Name or you can try .[dot];Initial Catalog=Database Name;Integrated" Security=True;Pooling=False");

Sql Server Authentication.

C#

<connectionstrings>

  <add name="MyDbConn">
       connectionString="Server=MyServer; Database=pubs; User Id=MyUser; password= P@ssw0rd"
       providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</add></connectionstrings>

any query hit to reply.

in web.config page

XML

<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="mycon" connectionString="data source=Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:\sponsorship project\sponsorship.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
  </connectionStrings>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0"/>
    <authentication mode="Forms">

and in aspx page

C#

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       string connect = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["mycon"].ConnectionString;

       SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connect);
       cmd.Connection = con;

From link[^]:
Basically, when you failed to connect to your SQL Server, the issue could be:
1) Network issue,
2) SQL Server configuration issue.
3) Firewall issue,
4) Client driver issue,
5) Application configuration issue.
6) Authentication and logon issue.

The error is self explanatory. Check the credentials used. the ip address is if its remote as well as the port number. First try to manually test the connection through MS Sql Client/or server which ever you use . Once its successful , the same credentials can be used in the config connection string.
