One way of finding out the connection string is to create a connection in Server Explorer in Visual Studio, then check the properties of the connection and you will see a Connection String property that will give you what you need.

Is this when you try to connect via code? Could you post it on here in that case? –  Mantorok Feb 28 '11 at 10:50
    
string consql = "Dsn=databse;uid=sa;pwd=wtl@123!;" The error which i get is below Keyword not supported: 'dsn' –  user628347 Feb 28 '11 at 10:57
    
Can you post the rest of it? Particularly the connection class you are using. –  Mantorok Feb 28 '11 at 11:03
