asp.net - web.config connectionStrings on production server -


i'm attempting deploy first website containing database. test local version has following connection strings

<connectionstrings>    <add name="applicationservices"          connectionstring="data source=.\sqlexpress;integratedsecurity=sspi;                           attachdbfilename=|datadirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;                           user instance=true"         providername="system.data.sqlclient" />    <add name="connectionstring"          connectionstring="data source=(localdb)\v11.0;attachdbfilename=|datadirectory|\ahdata.mdf;integratedsecurity=true"         providername="system.data.sqlclient" /> </connectionstrings> 

i've setup databases on web hosting company server , give me following connections strings

provider=sqloledb;data source=db479427514.db.1and1.com,1433;initial catalog=db479427514;user id=dbo479427514;password=****;  provider=sqloledb;data source=db479427535.db.1and1.com,1433;initial catalog=db479427535;user id=dbo479427535;password=****; 

when replace local test connection strings new server ones using

<connectionstrings>    <add name="applicationservices"          connectionstring="provider=sqloledb;data source=db479427535.db.1and1.com,1433;initial catalog=db479427535;user id=dbo479427535;password=**i've used real password!**;"         providername="system.data.sqlclient" />     <add name="connectionstring"          connectionstring="provider=sqloledb;data source=db479427514.db.1and1.com,1433;initial catalog=db479427514;user id=dbo479427514;password=**i've used real password!**;"         providername="system.data.sqlclient" /> </connectionstrings> 

i following error

keyword not supported: 'provider'.

description: unhandled exception occurred during execution of current web request. please review stack trace more information error , originated in code.

exception details: system.argumentexception: keyword not supported: 'provider'.

source error:

an unhandled exception generated during execution of current web request. information regarding origin , location of exception can identified using exception stack trace below.

[argumentexception: keyword not supported: 'provider'.]

[argumentexception: error occurred while attempting initialize system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection object. value provided connection string may wrong, or may contain invalid syntax.
parameter name: connectionstring]

can advise wrong here?

try removing 'provider' section of connection string:

<add name="applicationservices" connectionstring="provider=sqloledb;data source=db479427535.db.1and1.com,1433;initial catalog=db479427535;    user id=dbo479427535;password=**i've used real password!**;" providername="system.data.sqlclient" /> 

becomes

<add name="applicationservices" connectionstring="data source=db479427535.db.1and1.com,1433;initial catalog=db479427535;user id=dbo479427535;password=**i've used real password!**;" providername="system.data.sqlclient" /> 

because provider name specified in it's own name-value pair (providername=) doubt needed in connection string. give crack , report back.
