How to change the connection string in a web.config file

I've recently uploaded my website, http://www.bigredsongbus.com, to my host. Unfortunately, they don't support the use of SQL Server Express. So, I've purchased an addon through my host - discountasp.net. I've attached my database file to their server, now all that I need to do is to change the connection string in my .config file so that it points to the SQL Server. I don't know how to do this. Any help, please?

How to Change Data Directory to D: drive

Hi everyone,
I have a problem here. I install SQL Server and set it's Data Folder to C:
drive.
Unfortunately my C drive is running out of space and I plan to add another
drive (D: drive).
I want to move my database to D: drive, but however I cannot see D: drive in
the SQL Server Enterprise Manager
when I try to add a new database.
Could anyone help me?
Best Regards,
Deili.Hi,
Execute the command XP_FIXEDDRIVES from Query Anayzer. If you can see D
drive then you can very well move the datbases to D drive. If you are not
able to
see please check the access prev. of D Drive.
How to Move.
1. Detach all user databases (SP_detach_db)
2. Move it to D Drive
3. Attach the dataabases (SP_attach_db)
How to chage the default data folder:
In Enterprise manager , right click above server -- Properties
select "database setting" option, there you can chage the
Default data and Log directory.
Thanks
Hari
