I'm having trouble with understanding connection string, and where what goes where.

I have a job where I have to go trough an old project and make some fixes (nothing major) but it's still big enough that I don't want to make the changes directly to the live server.

I recieved the source code, and created a copy (back-up) of the database to make changes and see if it works.(They have been using mvc if it helps to know..)

When I did some changes and wanted to test this locally trough IIS I ended up with some problem. When I started the website trough IIS it worked untill I clicked on a link and this happend.

enter image description here

I thought that my connection string was wrong from my research of this. But when I tried to log in to my database with a user, it worked just fine. From this conclusion I can only guess that my connection string is working and this is a code related problem?

But when I run this locally trough VS2015 I have no problem at all and everything works just fine. So I'm really lost to what is causing this problem.

Is there a change when using connection string in VS2015 and when using it in IIS to connect to the same Local SQL Server?

Note to self. Make sure you read trough other stackoverflow answers. Turns out that when I deployed my project it changed my web.config file on the deployed project. Changed it to the one I used in my source code. Worked like a charm.
