Azure SQL Connection String not working

Hi

I just added a new SQL database to my Azure account. For some reason the connection string provided isn't working.
What might cause this?

Thanks

What connection string you are setting. See this link how you can get the actual connection string -

once you get the connection string just change the line where you are setting the connection.

In Azure they provide a connection string as follows

Server=tcp:xxxx.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=xxxxxx;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=xxxxx;Password=xxxxx;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;

And when you connect from SSMS, you need to set the database in the Options dialog of the Login window.
