Hi, I have installed sql server n my local system.

The server name is :COMPUTER-1354EB\MYSERVER

How do get a connecton string to establish sql connection:

If I use SqlConnection cnPubs = new SqlConnection("Server=COMPUTER-1354EB\MYSERVER;Database=Company;Trusted_Connection=Yes;");

it shows error like invald escape sequence.

To get rid of that error, just double the backslash:

SqlConnection cnPubs = new SqlConnection("Server=COMPUTER-1354EB\\MYSERVER;Database=Company;Trusted_Connection=Yes;");
