title: Creating an SQL Server connection string without importing a datasource in C#
body: <p>I am going off of this tutorial: <a href="http://www.dotnetperls.com/sqlclient" rel="nofollow">http://www.dotnetperls.com/sqlclient</a>  . Instead of adding a data source and a having visual studio compile my connecting string - I want to do it myself. The reason being is that the database will not always be the same and I want this application to be able to use different databases depending on which I point it to.</p>
  
  <p>So how can I manually create the connection string? I am using SQL Server 2005.</p>
