While developing my website I notice that sometimes when there is an error in my database the error page shows my connection string with the username and password for my database. Just wondering what the proper way is to prevent this from happening.

re: DB Security

Firstly, Robust Exception Information should be off in production. Secondly, you can use a site-wide error handler or use onerror/cferror to deal with errors and display a custom page.
