Hi Yash,

The namespace to be used for SQL Server Data Provider is using System.Data.SqlClient;

using System.Data;            // Use ADO.NET namespace
using System.Data.SqlClient;  // Use SQL Server data provider

Thanks,
Shankar

The  .net framework data provider for SQL Server is the optimized data provider for Microsoft SQL Server 7 or later. It is recommended to use SQL Server data provider to access the SQL Server databse.
Use fallowing namespace for sql server
