Start by checking your input string: It's very, very wrong!
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Properties.Settings.Default.usersConnectionString");
You are passing a fixed string as the connection string, when probably you want to pass the content of the setting information instead.
Try removing the double quotes:
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.usersConnectionString);
I don't guarantee that will fix it - depends on what you have in the settings file - but it does stand a much better chance!
