Which part can't you do?

Why are you storing connection string in a text file instead of app.config. Which is more secure and manageable.

This code can help you:

C#

string connStr = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("filename.txt");

Change filename.txt info the name of your file.
Then, connStr contains the contents of the file.
