First of all let me tell you, as general practive Connection String is stored in app.config file for Windows application and in web.config file for web application.

check out
1. Saving Connection Strings to app.config[^]
2. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms254494(v=vs.80).aspx[^]

for storing and retriving connection string from app.config and web.config.

You can find the connection string for any server at http://www.connectionstrings.com/[^]. This is the best place to generate the connection string.,

Hope this helps.
All the best.
