There are a number of ways to store the connection string and it some of them you can include it to the project (settings, xml or ini file, or even registry values that you create in your code if they are not present).

If the path is relevant to where your app is stored, then you can use the
Application.StartupPath()or if your are looking for user's folder you can use
System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personaland navigate yourself from there.
What is the connection string used to connect to?
