I bought a windows "ultimate shared hosting" from godaddy. I've uploaded all the files that are required, the site works. When I created a database on myLittleAdmin and got the connection string from it. I put that connection string to my web.config file which is hosted on godaddy, but gives error whenever I send a query to the database from the hosted site. The string does works on localhost perfectly.
I just don't know where I did wrong.
This is the connection string:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="GodaddyString" connectionString="Data Source=IP;Initial Catalog=db108;Integrated Security=False;User ID=USER;Password=PASS"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
This is the Web.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
