i have the site hosted on the discountasp . I have created some new files

What is the connection string you are using and what is the exact error message you are getting?

i resolved the problem. for any one who is thinking of the problem
here is the solution

1.<add name="ConnectionString2" connectionString="Data Source=tcp:<server name from your serviceprovider>;Initial Catalog=dbname;User ID=userid;Password=password />

this helps u to connect to your remote server from localhost
