Connection string password with special characters in C#

Here’s how to include a password with special characters in the connection string in c#.
If your password contains special characters like $
, \
, or ;
, ensure they are properly escaped.
If your password contains single quotes ('
) or semicolons (;
), it's safer to enclose the entire connection string in double quotes and use single quotes for the password.
For example:
// c# connection string password with special characters string connectionString = "Server=.;Database=db;User Id=sa;Password='Pa&$w0rd';";
Special characters in passwords typically include \
, ;
, and "
among others.
Use \\
for \
, \"
for "
, and ensure semicolons ;
are properly delimited if they appear in the password.
string connectionString = "Server=.;Database=db;User Id=sa;Password=myPa$$w0rd\"WithQuotes\"";
In the example above, myPa$$w0rd"WithQuotes"
is a password containing a dollar sign ($
) and double quotes ("
), which are escaped appropriately.
By following these guidelines, you can construct and manage connection strings in C# that include passwords with special characters securely and effectively.
