I have a project that someone else wrote that I have to figure out.  The 
database connection string is as follows:
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"

What is this connection to??
Thanks,
T

127.0.0.1 is the "local" computer. In other words, whatever computer
uses that connection string connects to itself.

127.0.0.1 is "localhost" - meaning, whatever SQL Server instance is installed 
on the same machine. If SQL Server is somewhere else, then all you need to do 
is change the connection string to match the machine name or IP address 
instead of 127.0.0.1

Hi,

Don't you want to connect to a database?
I couldn't see your DB name.

In connection string you have to set database name via Initial Catalog or 
Database properties.
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes; Initial 
Catalog=AdventureWorks";

Bahadir is right, 

  Maybe the connection string that you are using is not the complete one. To 
check about connection strings:

http://www.connectionstrings.com

  You can use instead of 127.0.0.1, "localhost" as sombedy mentioned before, 
it's easier to understand.
