I would recommend you store your connection string in the web.config file under appSettings:-

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnString" value="server=servername;Database=dbname;uid=;pwd=" />
</appSettings>
<system.web>
....rest of web.config stuff here

The ConnString can be retrieved in your asp.net code with the following method:-

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnString")

There are many good websites for learning asp.net. I would recommend 4guys and dotnetjunkies as well as asp.net:-
