i am trying to connect to an MS Access database but i am new to C#. I have looked at, amongst others, Paladin's response to dark omen about connecting to a database and since i have connected to a database before in Visual Basic most of it makes sense to me.

However i do not understand the argument list for the connection string of the SqlConnection object's SqlConnection constructor. On various info sources the arg list for the constructor seems to differ slightly so i assume that some arguments are optional. can someone please tell me what the bare minimum of arguments are for connecting to an MS Access database on a local pc and what each argument means?
