Microsoft introduced a new class in ADO.NET 2.0 version which can be used to build database connection strings specific to the provider you are using in ADO.NET. Different database providers expose different properties for the connection strings. For example, SQL Server connection string properties are different than MySql or OleDb connection strings. Although, it is possible to concatenate strings to build a complete connection string but by using .NET connection string builder class you don’t need to memorize the properties appropriate to specific provider.
