DBName is something that belongs in a configuration file. ASP.NET uses files that are called web.config and they can store ‘Connection strings’, Application specific settings and other settings.

A configuration file can be edited after the program has been deployed to a production server. You can even automate this process so the settings are automatically set if you, for example, deploy to a test server, an acceptance or a production server.

Here is some documentation about how to use configuration files.
