Hey,

Why won't the application compile? Just because of the connection string?

If that is the case, just set the connection string to an empty string, and then run the application (hit the green play button) and your application will be deployed to the built in emulator. Once you have done that, browse the file system to find out where the application has been deployed to, and from there you should be able to modify the connection string.

This is why I suggested that you store the connection string in a configuration file, that way you don't have to re-compile the application just to change one setting.
