Basically, you can't.
It can make it difficult, using encrypted connection strings and obfuscation, but you can't protect it completely - the system needs to be able to read, understand, and execute the code, and the code needs to be able to read and understand the connection string. So if the system can do it, and the code can do it - then so can a coder.

Obfuscate your code by all means: google will help you there. But don't expect anything to be completely secure.
