Question

I have connection string

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection();

where con contains connection string info coming from DLL or app.config.

Now i want to display each and every thing in different variables.

e.g:

var connectionString = "Data Source=172.16.0.9;Initial Catalog=whiziblesem;UserID=mppuser;Password=mppuser";

Expected Output:

        a = server name
        b = Database name
        c = username
        d = password

Answer 1

Use SqlConnectionStringBuilder class:

var builder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectionString);

Usage:

Console.WriteLine("Data Source: {0}", builder.DataSource);
Console.WriteLine("Initial Catalog: {0}", builder.InitialCatalog);
Console.WriteLine("User ID: {0}", builder.UserID);
Console.WriteLine("Password: {0}", builder.Password);
