Is your database up & running because that is a message that you usually recieve if the server isn't up? Also that looks like VB code not C#. Try this out this is VB: Private Shared Function sConn(ByVal as String databasemachine) As SqlConnection Dim strConnection As String strConnection = "server=servername;Trusted_Connection=true;database=" & databasemachine & ";User ID=user;Password=pw" Return New SqlConnection(strConnection) End Function I hope this works. I used a function instead of a property. This is what I use and it works the only difference is that I don't pass in any parameters.
