The simplest way is to start by looking at your database in the Server Explorer pane.
Highlight the database you are interested in, and look at the Properties pane - the connection string will be shown there.
Copy that, and paste it into a configuration string in the Settings.settings section of the properties for you project. This will allow you to change it easily if you move your database later, or change machines.

Solution 1

Put your mdb file in bin/Debug folder

then access it like

string con=@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDB.4.0;DataSource=abc.mdb";

If you have format other then mdb then Check this[^]
