I have finished a program using sql server and visual studio using c# language .
I want to put the database on pc and the program that connected to that database on other PCs

I’m using this connection string in App.config :

<connectionStrings>
<add name="MWEConnectionString" connectionString ="integrated security=yes;initial catalog=MWDB;data source=.\sqlexpress"/>
</connectionStrings>

Should I change server name by pc external ip address?
and according to sql server Should I use windows authentication or what?
I don’t know how to do it.

    You should access the server by it’s address by using Sql Server authentication.

    Your connection string should look something like this:

    connectionString="Data Source=192.168.0.5\SQL2008R2;Initial Catalog=MWDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Password=password"

    (this is just an example, your settings will probably be different).

    Another example:

    connectionString="Data Source=NAMEOFCOMPUTER\SQL2008R2;Initial Catalog=MWDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Password=password"

    for accessing the server by name.

    You can generate a connection string for your application from Visual Studio. From Database Explorer -> Connect to Database
