Never mind.....I got the solution

Don't pointing Initial catalog (Database Name) to system default databases (Ex: Master, Pubs Etc..)
Use free sample database AdventureWorksDW or your Own database name

Data Source=Complete Server Name;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorksDW;Integrated Security=True

It will work....
