I am trying to connect to an external db using IDataContext ctx = DataContext.Instance(connectionString)

But I get an error saying

Can't find a connection string with the name 'Data Source=myServerIP;Initial Catalog=myDBName;User ID=myUserName;Password=myPassword'

I am able to connect via SQL server using the credentials but not through dnn. What am I doing wrong?
