Please look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa326257(v=VS.71).aspx[^]. You'll see what you were doing wrong.

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    String connectionString = "Data Source=TOSHIBA-PC;Initial Catalog=ACCESSCONTROL;User ID=ABC;Password=hello;MultipleActiveResultSets=True";
    con = new SqlConnection(connectionString); // You'll have to initialize the connection with the connectionString

    cmd = new SqlCommand(con);

    try
    {
        con.Open();
        MessageBox.Show("Connection opened.");
    }
    catch (SyntaxErrorException a)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Error: " + a);
    }
    finally
    {
        con.Close();
        MessageBox.Show("Connection closed.");
    }

}

Nice links! 5+

I've always found connectionstrings.com a very helpful website. Connection strings for all kinds of different DBMSs are found in abundance. :)
