web.config file

#1

hi
i have a web.config file that specifies the connection string for my
database. the database server on the ISP is using a different port than
1433. how do i specify in the connection string to use a specific port
number?
i tried the <ip address>:<port number> and that didn't work.
any ideas?
thanks

Hi Rafael,

Unless I missed something, this sounds more like a connect string problem
than a web.config problem.

http://www.connectionstrings.com/ is a great resource for connections
strings.

Good luck.

Try a comma between the IP and the port instead of a colon.
