ADO.NET :: Connection String To Local Compact Db?
Mar 2, 2011
i am trying to use a compact db in my web site, all works well with a absolute address to the file "c:mydirmydb.sdf"
but i dont want to use a absolute address for deployment reasons. i want to use somthing like |datadirectory to find the file.
This is a connection string for a entity model. somthing like
<
add
name="MyEntities"
connectionString="metadata=res://*/Entity.csdl|res://*/Entity.ssdl|res://*/Entity.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5;provider
connection string="Data
Source=|DataDirectory|mydb.sdf;Password=xxxxxxxx;Persist Security Info=True""
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"
/>

I am writing a web app for work. The users who are using this app will not be using the same connection string- for example, we have about 40 customers whose data resides in their respective database. The goal of this app is to be able to query the database for a given customer without having to go in and modify the web.config connection string (obviously, because that will change the connection string globally across users- I want the users to be able to have their own local connection string to be used by the app). is this possible?

Is it possible to connect to a SQL Server Express 2008 database in ASP.NET with a server name of (local) like "server=(local);integrated security=SSPI;database=DBNAME"? I'm working with another developer on a project and it's getting annoying having to have 2 different version of web.config because he is using SQL Server 2008 and (local) works, but I can't seem to get it to work with SQL Server 2008 Express locally. The database is located on the same computer as the .NET code in case that matters.

I have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?

I am preparing for an Access2007 db conversion at the beginning of the year and would like to know what the best process would be for connecting to the sqlserver2005 database. I have read about adding the connection string to the web.config file. I have also read about using ADO.NET and put the connection information into a class and not the web.config file.
I would like to hear from others as to what you have used, are using, or plan on using for a webapp (vs2010), and why so I can get an understanding.

I have an ASP.Net website running on IIS7. The Application Pool is set to ASPv4 Classic.
Authentication Mode is set to ASP.Net Authentication & Windows Authentication
My question is, when I want to connect to SQL using a "trusted connection" in the Connection String, what user will actually be passed into SQL?
I thought it would pass my logon details, but it is coming back with an NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON error, which seems to point towards it not passing in my logon.

I am trying to determine if it is possible to add a concatenated string to one of my local .resx files. This example should clarify:
Let's say I have a simple ASP.NET webpage composed of (1) a label whose text is an important keyword (2) an input with required field validation and (3) a button that causes validation to occur:
(lblMyInput)
(txtMyInput)
(rfvMyInput)
(btnSubmit)
Now, inside the resource file for this page, we want to localize the strings for the page's controls. However, for our error message, we want to use the literal name of the input's label. This is were my question is.
PSEUDOCODE: myPage.resx
(1) lblMyInput.Text = "Name"
(2) rfvMyInput.ErrorMessage = "The " + lblMyInput.Text + " field may not be left blank."
(3) btnSubmit.Text = "Submit/Validate"
Is there any way to pull off this type of concatenation of one resource file's string into another string within the same file?

I'm busy working on an ASP.NET Web Application (3.5) and can't seem to connect to a MySQL DB. I first created the entire application using a WinForms template and everything works 100%, but as soon as I move the exact same code to the Web Application, I can't connect anymore. Here's the code:
Code:
public class DBC {
OdbcConnection connection;
public bool CreateConnection() {
try {
string connFormat = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=[SERVER];Database=[DBNAME];User=[UID];Password=[PWD];";
connFormat = connFormat.Replace("[SERVER]", Properties.Settings.Default.DBServer);
[Code] .....
As soon as I try to create the new OdbcConnection instance, I get the error:
Code: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
As noted this works in a WinForms app, and even more strange is that I don't even specify a DSN name...
All I could find from reading through forums all over the internet is suggestions of downgrading the MySQL ODBC driver version, which I'd really rather not...

I have a form where users can store some data for archived documents. All documents are ONLY in PDF format.
There are 2 things I would like to do:
1. there is a "file path" text box on the form. I would like to open a "browse file dialog" box when user clicks the textbox and then the user browses for the file (file is on the users local machine) and selects it. The full file path should be saved to the textbox as string (e.g. "c:archive2010document11122011.pdf"). Also I would like to "limit" the file browser dialog to only show PDF format files...
2. add a code behind command to open the file from the saved path+name (see 1.) in the user's default PDF viewer (Acrobat or Foxit)

I have created a webpage called server.aspx and the related local resource file called server.aspx.resx. In the resourcefile I defined the message "{0} is required." with the key Error.
In my .aspx page I access the string:
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ControlToValidate="textboxName" runat="server" ErrorMessage="<%$ Resources:Error %> ID="validatorName">
Now I want to pass a value, for example the name of the textbox 'Name' to the resource string, so that the errormessage is "Name is required."
Is there any possibility to pass a value to the string?

Project 1: Web Application (.aspx/.ascx/.cs/)*
Project 2: Class Library (has one static class, Repository.cs, which is full of static methods used to put/get data to/from DB)
Project 3: Web Service (allows few of the mthods of the Repository to be used via WebService)
Conditions:
There will be about 10 copies of Project 1 (WebAppliation) runngin on IIS each for a seperate client.I want each copy of Project 1, and the Web Service to read/write data from/to DB via Repository only. So all 11 Projects (10 Project 1, and 1 Wb Service, will be using repository as DAL)Questions1) Where shall i put the connection strings??? because each web application will have its own connection string, i cant save it in repository. And if i keep it at the web.config of each project, then what is the best way to pass it to repository?
2) Repository.cs is a static class with all static methods, is this a good approach? Should it be static? or should i not make it static in order to allow creationof objects of Repository.cs. (this way may be i can also send connection strings to the objects
of repository, in whatever project required...???)

I have an ASP project that works fine locally. It makes use of a dll that gets information from a database. I set this up using the datasource wizard, which is not how I like to do things. I find it to be a bit opaque, and this problem is a fine example. When I publish the website, I get an error that ultimately shows this:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON'.]
That suggests that it is not using the username and password, so I went to the App.Config file in the dll, which is the one place that has the connection string that I know of (normally, I'd do it in code and it wouldn't be there, but I'm doing something new). If I change the DB name to a DB that is very similar to the correct one, then run one of the queries, it correctly complains about a few missing columns. As long as I use the correct DB name, then it works (there's a production DB and a dev DB. The two are identical except that I haven't added a few columns to the tables in the production DB). This shows that the connection string is being at least partially used.
However, if I alter the password, such that it is invalid, I have no problem running the query, which suggests that the username and password are being ignored, and my own local credentials are being used instead (or at least that's the going theory as to why I can connect just fine when the password is wrong). The credentials are set up correctly as far as I can determine. That portion of the connection string are copied directly from a different project that works fine.
So, despite having credentials that should be valid, the dll appears to be steadfastly using my local credentials and ignoring the ones in the connection string in App.config. I would assume that this has something to do with the datasource wizard, which I don't use.

I added a database to my project. When I did so an app.config file was added to my project. (Yes I know I have dangerous info in the connection string. I shall change that but for now I am messing around with test stuff.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="NyStories.Properties.Settings.storyConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|story.sdf;Password=driver;Persist Security Info=True"
providerName="Microsoft.SqlServerCe.Client.3.5" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
I did a google search on how to get the connection string value and found. string sConn = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ConnectionString"]; I am getting a warning that this is obsolete. It has been replaced by ConfigurationManager.AppSettings. Ok Fine. According to the docs, it is also in System.Confiuguration which I already have a using statement for above. But when I attempt to use it, it is not part of the assembly.

Split off from http://forums.asp.net/t/1646657.aspx/1?MVC+3+Tutorial+Movies+database:
I have the same problem here.No matter what changes I make in the connection string, in the Web.Config file, MVC3 tries always to connect to the SQLEXPRESS database that I do not have. I am running the 2008 SQL Server Standard Edition on my desktop.
How and where can I replace the reference to SQLEXPRESS by one that allows me to connect to my local database?

I have created a ASP.NET 4 application in VS 2010 using Silverlight and RIA Services.
After finishing the first release on my development pc, I'm starting some deployment testing in a server in my local network.
After sucessfully published the web application using the Visual Studio FTP publishing option, I notice two strange things:
1 - On the IIS properties of the website I have uploaded my files to, you can see now a connection string, named as LocalSqlServer that points to the aspnetdb.mdf database file. I had a look in the web.config file and I could not find this connection strind defined there. So, where is it located? Where did IIs got it from?
2 - As the aspnetdb.mdf file is not deployed withtin the web application and I a musing SQL express in my testing server, where can I drop the mdf and ldf files so they can be attached when the applicaiton runs? I know I can perform an attach operation using management studio,but I'm wandering where is the DataDirectory folder ASP.NET looks for to attach it at runtime?

total noob question here. I'm toying around with Silverlight, and need to connect to a database. When I connect in server explorer (VS 2010) it works fine, because it's using my windows account to authenticate. However, when I start debugging the server side stuff is running on a different account (NT-SERVICE or something to that effect) which has no privileges on the SQL server. I've tried embedding my username/password like this:
connectionString="Data Source=.;Initial Catalog={DATABASE};Integrated Security=True;User={DOMAIN}{USERNAME};Password={redacted}"
but it doesn't seem to be working. I keep getting an error:The server did not provide a meaningful reply; this might be caused by a contract mismatch, a premature session shutdown or an internal server error.
