If you are able to connect using Sql Management Studio then I believe there must be problem with Connection String -

Connection String You are using follows format -

Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated Security=SSPI;
User ID=myDomain\myUsername;Password=myPassword;

Try using IP Address, Port in Data Source field like -

OR try other variations -

Standard Security

Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;

Trusted Connection

Server=myServerAddress;Database=myDataBase;Trusted_Connection=True;

Connection to a SQL Server instance

Server=myServerName\myInstanceName;Database=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;
Password=myPassword;
