Basically, you connect to a database by using Connection Strings[^]. This will, of course depend on what database server do you want to connect to. Check here[^] for the different connection strings. You also need to familiarize yourself with ADO.Net[^] in order to connect to the database, using the connection string. Most of the classes that you will need are in System.Data.SqlClient[^] namespace so make sure you check on it as well.

Hi,

You can use SQL Express on LAN(on different machine) in the same way as on local machine. Just give IP address of the machine where SQL express is installed and SQL instance name in the connection string like below:

<br />
Data Source=192.168.0.52\SQLExpress; User ID=sa; Password=YourPassword; Initial Catalog=YourDatabase;

You also need to configure SQL Server to allow remote connection
