hi,

U can refer the following Connection String

This is are the connection string that i have, just choose what you need.
Standard Security
Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;

 
 
Standard Security alternative syntax
This connection string produces the same result as the previous one. The reason to include it is to point out that some connection string keywords have many equivalents.
Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Trusted_Connection=False;

 
 
Trusted Connection
Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated Security=SSPI;

 
 
Trusted Connection alternative syntax
This connection string produce the same result as the previous one. The reason to include it is to point out that some connection string keywords have many equivalents.
Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;

Use serverName\instanceName as Data Source to use a specific SQL Server instance. Please note that the multiple SQL Server instances feature is available only from SQL Server version 2000 and not in any previous versions.
 
Connecting to an SQL Server instance 
The syntax of specifying the server instance in the value of the server key is the same for all connection strings for SQL Server.
Server=myServerName\theInstanceName;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;

 
 
Trusted Connection from a CE device
Often a Windows CE device is not authenticated and logged in to a domain. To use SSPI or trusted connection / authentication from a CE device, use this connection string.
Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=myDomain\myUsername;Password=myPassword;

Note that this will only work on a CE device.
 
 
Connect via an IP address
Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;

DBMSSOCN=TCP/IP. This is how to use TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes. At the end of the Data Source is the port to use. 1433 is the default port for SQL Server.
 
 
Specifying packet size
Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;Trusted_Connection=False;Packet Size=4096;
