Your question is impossible to answer, as we have no idea what server you are referring to, or what you mean by "how would i get dynamic data server name". Please edit your question and add some proper details.

Add a reference to System.Configuration and then you can read the connection strings from your web.config like such:

C#

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["NameOfYourConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

Ask the user for the name of the server?

You could use SQL DMO to get all of the SQL Servers that are publicly visible on the network, but you still have to ask the user which one to use.

Google - sql dmo list servers[^]

Depends. Where is this "dynamic" server name coming from?
