One way of finding out the connection string is to create a connection in Server Explorer in Visual Studio, then check the properties of the connection and you will see a Connection String property that will give you what you need.

but when i use that it says dsn is not a keyword.whats wrong with it?
Is this when you try to connect via code? Could you post it on here in that case?
string consql = "Dsn=databse;uid=sa;pwd=wtl@123!;" The error which i get is below Keyword not supported: 'dsn'
Can you post the rest of it? Particularly the connection class you are using.
