You should maintain the connnection string in the web.config as normal practice in ASP.Net. I guess, you didn't provide the connection string in a proper format. Check my blog post for the tutorial to construct the connection string : http://www.aspdotnetchamp.com/2014/12/an-easy-way-to-construct-connection.html Also, your connection string might look like below in web.Config: providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> You should retrieve the connection string as follows in your C# code: string conString = string.Empty; ConnectionStringSettings mySetting = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[" MyDBConnectionString "]; if (mySetting == null || string.IsNullOrEmpty(mySetting.ConnectionString)) throw new Exception("Fatal error: missing connecting string in web.config file"); conString = mySetting.ConnectionString; Hope this helps!

Do project search " SmallBakery " and see where it being used. I hope you will find in web.config file. Just cross check the connection string to which database it is pointing.
