ADO.NET :: Retaining Data In Existing Database When Generating Changes?
Mar 7, 2011
This is something I asked about a long time ago but there wasn't really a solution available at the time. There was talk of there being changes in a new roll out of EF where existing databases based on a model were simply ammended instead of being dropped and recreated every time.I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not there is something out there now that will let me retain the existing data when making changes to a model? If not, what is the best way for me to back up the data prior to a change and restore it post-change?

Creating a system with web front end and SQL backend (microsoft obviously). I have tried using the asp.netsqlprovider but i can;t as i am only allowed one database on the server, so i then tried to update my current database with the triggers to input the schema into the already existing database.Next step i create my own table with two simple fields of username and password and try and authenticate that way, i can't get that to work either.
I ahve limited permissions on the network as i am a University Student. I really don't know what to do. Never had to create a log on system before and i thought it would be far simpler than this. I ahve used Microsoft's sqlprovider schema before and it worked fine. I have also authenticated via IIS and AD too before. I can't do any of those two in this instance it seems.I need an alternative for logging in users, if needs be in can be crude. I also still need to have some kind of two different views too for logged in users and not logged in users, but that can change if needs must.Don't let me down people, haha. Think this posts in the correct place, i could not find another one i thought could be more relevant.

I have a development database and one in production. There are two different sets of data in each database. On my dev system, I have mostly dummy data that I test with and in production is the real data for my web application. I recently added a new feature to the app that required a new table, and a new field for a foreign key in an existing table. I now need to upload that new structure to the production database without overwriting the live data with my test data.
If I run the Database Publishing Wizard, and choose "Schema Only" will it import the new structure and leave the existing data alone, or will it drop the records in my production database tables?

I've been using EF as my primary ORM for quiet some time now. Today I decided to use EF Code First to create my model for my new project. So I went ahead and read a bunch of documents on MSDN and some blog posts by Scott Guthrie and others. Unfortunately, what I've read does not go beyond the basics of using Code First within an ASP.NET MVC application. But as you might know, in real-world applications the structure of the solution is a little different. Anyway, to make a long story short:
- I created all the POCO files that will be needed.
- I created the SharweEntities class which extends the DbContext class.
- I added the following connection string to my Web.config file
[Code]....
Then I started the application and checked whether a new database was created inside SQL Server 2008 Express, but found nothing. I'm not sure what's wrong but I suspect it might be the way I'm structuring my solution? Here's the structure:
- Sharwe.MVC : The ASP.NET MVC3 Web Application (has nothing except a HomeController and a corresponding simple view at the time being)
- Sharwe.Data : model class and data access logic (contains all the POCO classes and the SharweEntities class)
- Sharwe.Services : Business logic
Here's an image that shows the structure of my solution:

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 RTM and MS Sql Server 2008 R2 EXPRESS with Advanced Services.I create a new simple asp.net web site. When I click on asp.net configuration, it opens as expected.When I click on the Security Tab, I get the message, Unable to connect to SQL Server database.It will not create the default aspnetdb.mdf file.I can create a connection to the sql server in VS from the database explorer.I can connect to the sql server with sqlcmd as a trusted connection.I have even managed to verify the default instance of .SQLEXPRESS with named pipesusing the sc command and the MSSQL$instance name.I have verified that my machine dot config file for the 2.0 .net contains the proper info (without altering it).I've spent many nights trying to figure this one out.VS2008 and MS SQL Server EXPRESS 2008 worked.I noticed that the default asp.net web site uses a connection other than the default localsqlserverand the template automatically adds a login in the ui with role, membership & profile in the web config.

I have a simple ASP.NET page where after the initial page load the user enters a username and a password to two text boxes. Note that I can not use the built-in login control in ASP.NET, as my purpose of using this username and password is slightly different.Now, I want the user to enter the said two values only once. Afterwards, using those two values I perform several tasks. Now here's the tricky part; since I set the TextMode property of the password text box to 'password', every time a button click occurs it clears the password field, and since every button click event triggers a page load as well, I lose the password data. But I do not want the user to keep entering the password every time he has to click a button.How can I retain the username and password in my code? If this were a normal .NET Windows Application, I would use a global variable and assign the value the first time and I would have it available to me throughout the life cycle of my program. But how can I do it here?

I have a Grid on my page.When the page is loaded for the first time ther is a list of records displayed in the grid.When I edit the record by edit link button,the ddl saves the change value .
The same thing if I do when searching for a particular record and then editing and changeing the dropdownlist value,the page postbacks and the new value gets replaced with the old value that was present earlier.

Pardon if this is a very dumb question, but I was trying to migrate an existing ASP application to asp.net MVC, and followed the procedure from the music store tutorial (http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-music-store-part-4), which involves adding the
database to the App_Data folder. (I had to restart my machine before it would work, since otherwise, Visual Studio thought the database was being used by another application.)
Now when I check in Windows Explorer, it looks like the database file was literally copied into the App_Data folder, and now I have two mdf files on my hard drive with the same name. What is going on there?
Will my MVC app ignore the original (real) database and use it's own private copy instead? (That would be bad.) Or is the new copy just for reference when using wizards that generate entity classes etc.? If the latter, what is the procedure when the real
database is modified, to update the application code?

I was reading through this post here http://www.misfitgeek.com/op-ed/adding-asp-net-membership-to-your-own-database and thought to my self what the common practice is. What do developers using ASP.NET membership and authorization in their applications recommend as a best practice? creating the membership tables in the same database that stores their applications data or configuring a second database to store ONLY the membership information?.
My current setup is a different database for membership information ONLY but am thinking that increases the number of databases i have to maintain. If I have 5 applications using asp.net membership, then that means 5 more asp.net membership databases. So do you normally create the asp.net membership tables in your main database or you configure a separate membership table? what do you recommend.

I have a page with 2 dropdown menus and 2 datagrids.
The datagrids get populated by a database based on a dropdown menu slection.
This page links to another page which in turn links back to the original.
If the user leaves the first page and then returns back I want to keep the dropdown menus and datagrids populated.
I tried doing this with session variables but can't get the datagrids to stay populated ...

I have an image (consider the image of a clock). I would like to change the position of the dials depending on values retrieved from database. (This will probably be done using a service which will run every minute or so.) I just want to know how I can change the image (i.e modify the existing image).This is for a dashboard screen. The images would be refreshed every minute to get the latest data.
