OracleConnection with SQL Server 2005?
Something obviously seems to be wrong, you need to check with those who gave you this code.
Or starting converting some of this code to work with SQL Server.

[Edit]
I didn't quite catch that OP was explicitely asking for SQL Server 2005. I'll still leave this solution here, because I think a link to the source for connection strings is always a benefit. :)
[/Edit]

There is an absolutely great source for connection strings to all kinds of RDBMSs. www.connectionstrings.com. Oracle RDMBS is handled on the same site: http://www.connectionstrings.com/oracle[^].

After OP's correction, your answer is much better. 5.

Instead of adding to the confusion and reediting my solution I'll just leave it as it is right now. :)
Thanks Abhinav!

Solution 3

Abhinav and Manfred are both right, there is something odd with your code / description.
However there is an easy way to find out what a working connection string is: in VS, open the Server Explorer pane, and highlight the database you are interested in. The Properties pane will include the Connection String, which you can Select, then Copy'n'Paste into your app or configuration settings.
