Hope this helps:

To edit a connection string stored in application settings:

In Solution Explorer, double-click the My Project icon (Visual Basic) or Properties icon (Visual C# to open the Project Designer. Select the Settings tab. Locate the connection you want to edit and select the text in the Value box. Edit the connection string in the Value box.

If you just want to see them, you can go into debugger, set a break point after the connection you read, Ctrl+Shirt+Q for Quick Watch. and look through the object in memory

SqlConnection _connection = new SqlConnection("connection string")

Read SqlConnection class in MSDN.
