Do you want to get the datasource value or assign it? Connection string already defined? You need access in code?

A better way:

return new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(Settings.Default.OperatorsConnectionString).DataSource;

If you already have the connection string, just split the string like so:

string[] parts = connectionString.Split(';');


and then iterate through the parts array until you find the part that starts with "Data Source=".

string dataSource = "";
for (int i =0; i < parts.Length; i++)
{
    string part = parts[i].Trim();
    if (part.StartsWith("Data Source="))
    {
        dataSource = part.Replace("Data Source=", "");
        break;
    }
}


It ain't rocket science...
