(1) If you are making a Database connection string using a Driver then in that use use Database property. (2) If you are making a Dataase connection string using a Datasource property then user Initial Catalog property. --------------- OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(); conn.ConnectionString = "Driver=SQLOLEDB;" + "Data Source=ServerName;" + "Initial Catalog=DataBaseName;" + "User id=UserName;" + "Password=Secret;"; --------------------- SqlConnection conn = new SqlDbConnection(); conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=ServerName;" + "Initial Catalog=DataBaseName;" + "User id=UserName;" + "Password=Secret;";
