You can refer to the already defined datasource in the connection string

for instance, in this specific case:

public class OracleDBManager
{
    private OracleConnection _con;
    private const string connectionString = "User Id={0};Password={1};Data Source=MyDataSource;";
    private const string OracleDBUser = "exampleUser";
    private const string OracleDBPassword = "examplePassword";

    public OracleDBManager()
    {
        InitializeDBConnection();
    }

    ~OracleDBManager()
    {
        if (_con != null)
        {
            _con.Close();
            _con.Dispose();
            _con = null;
        }
    }

    private void InitializeDBConnection()
    {
            _con = new OracleConnection();
            _con.ConnectionString = string.Format(connectionString, OracleDBUser, OracleDBPassword);
            _con.Open();
    }
}
