Okay you will probably want to write a web service then.

You do NOT want to use RDS at all. It's been deprecated for quite a while now and is disappearing from Windows starting with Windows 8 and Server 2012.

From MSDN:
Beginning with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, RDS server components are no longer included in the Windows operating system (see Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 Compatibility Cookbook for more detail). RDS client components will be removed in a future version of Windows. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Applications that use RDS should migrate to WCF Data Service[^].

You should be exposing your data through a web service, WebAPI, or similar then your application code can connect to that and have the data manipulated outside of your code.

Your question is too general. What specifically are you having trouble with? What error messages are you getting? What code are you using? We can't help you if you just tell us something is broken. We aren't there to see what you see.

From the subject line of your question, it sounds like you need help building a connection string. There is a great resource out there that can help you with that....

If this isn't what you need help with, please provide more information about your problem.
