Answer 2

I am using something like this:

C#

"Data Source=host's ip\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=yourddbb;User ID=youruser;Password=yourpassword"

ASP 3.0

StrConex= ""
StrConex= StrConex & "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=yourpasswd;"
StrConex= StrConex & "Persist Security Info=True;User ID=youruser;"
StrConex= StrConex & "Initial Catalog=yourddbb;Data Source=host's ip\SQLEXPRESS"

You have two possibilities:

1 - Add connection string to your web.config as show in this post: "Using connection strings from web.config in ASP.NET v2.0"

2 -Add the connection to code-behind:

 Dim strConnect As String=”Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI;” 

 Dim myConnection As SqlConnection=New SqlConnection(strConnect)

 MyConnection.Open()
