I have set up a small SQL Server database for users to login and also create accounts. There is a problem with the connection string though. Whenever I use the connection string below in the web.config file I get a server error page and cannot view the website. However when I take out this connection string I am able to view the website albeit the database doesn't work.
<configuration>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings>
<addname="ConnectionString" connectionString="Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=medicale_Members;User ID=user_admin;Password=medicalmembers;"/>
<connectionStrings/>
<system.web>

View 8 RepliesI want to encrypt web.config connection string. But Getting Error
System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Object already exists.
why is this happening. How to tackle with this problem.
Is there a way to use the ASP.NET Configuration to configure a site once it is hosted? Or can I manually enter data into the tables it creates? Anybody have any useful links on this?
View 3 RepliesI've ran into a weird issue when ever I deploy to my winhost account and try to login using membership provider it works fine locally but once it's on the intarnets it breaks.

It is as if I have referenced 'LocalSqlServer' somewhere in my app.config but I haven't here is my providers:
I have a site (URL...) which loads and runs fine locally on the server itself, but when I try to access this externally from outside of the server (and firewall) will not load. In Safari for example, I get the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding".I have other sites on this server that do load and operate fine so I don't belive this is a Firewall issue. One thing I did notice however is that when the error message appears, it seems like the site is trying to change the protocol from http to https.
I'm trying to debug this to find out what could be happening. I've tried looking into the IIS logs as well as the Event Viewer but I see nothing. I have even tried to turn on Failed Request Tracking but no errors are logged.
I uploaded asp.net website in filezilla when I am trying to access that it is displaying code instead of page..
View 1 RepliesI have a hosted site and just added some additional error notification to my global.asax file and works like a charm. I decided to add the same logic to our test server and it doesnt work. The server.transfer never happens and the email never gets updated. Now i know the email works on the test and production server since we have other pages that use the same SMTP server name and setup as i have in the global file. Below is my code as it is in the file now. I setup a test page to cause an error and the page displays the detailed error which we dont want. But i would like to be notified if this happens. What am i missing? I can only assume that its a IIS confige issue, since the exact same code works on a hosted site, but not at work on our test or production servers. Here is the code i have in the global.asax

How can I test an application that I am publishing to a remote provider's IIS7 hosted site, with the VS2008 development server that is built in with VS2008 on an XP Machine?
My membership/roles work perfectly up on the remote host. On ths hosted IIS7 site when I try to access a secure directory it redirects to login, and I am able to login, however when I launch (debug - F5) from VS2008, it will provide that folder/resource, no questions asked. Same build, config, etc... nothing has changed.
I am running XP, and local IIS version installed is 5.1.
My guess is what is happening is that the new format required in the web.config is configured properly for IIS7 deployment, which is why it works remotely, but when running locally through VS2008/XP it is running with an older version on IIS and does not recoginize the new tags.
I have an ms access db file and now i want to use it in my app. i have given like
Provider=MSDASQL.1;Password=pwd123;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=swgp;Data Source=SWGP;Initial Catalog=C:swgp BJswgp
but it is giving error to me.If anybody know how to give this connection string for password enabled ms access database,
We run our web app through a pre-compilaton command line before deploying it to a staging environment. The only problem is that some of the folders in the project do not get copied into the deployment folder that we target from the precompilation command line. I initially got around this problem by placing a none.txt empty file but this is only a hack. Is there a way to ensure that empty folders get copied too during precompilation?
View 4 RepliesRegarding this example: [URL] .... it works locally, within VS 2012.
But when I publish to a local or remote webserver, it doesn't show an error, but the dropdown lists are populated with this line: [Method Error: 500].
i have been trynig to have "ASP.Net Web Site Administration Tool" save all user information in my database , is that doable?
if yes, how i can have all those asp_tables in mine?
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?
I have decrypted my connection string in web.config file of the application programatically. But after deployment under the ASP.net tab of application virtual directory when I click edit configuration the connection strings in web.config file are visible in decrypted format i.e readable form.
View 3 RepliesI have been preparing for a conversion of an old application to an ASP.NET webapplication at beginning of the year. Generally, the development version of the webapp will also be the webapp that goes into production. We here make "clones" of the database server, assign new name, etc, which is then used for development, training, and so on without any threat of changing data on the real db (sql server 2005). I know it is possible to have more then one connection string in the web.config. My question centers around if there is a simple method for allow multiple connection strings and pick the one that is to be used for dev, production, training, and so on? I originally thought about constructing some type of admin form that the connection string can be selected from.
View 2 RepliesI have an app that is a bit old and will eventiall be rewritten but until I get the time it needs to continue to be patched. THe app is desgined broken into three layers (Web, DAL, BLL) The web site uses the DAL.DLL and BLL.DLL and the Website has some dataaccess and the sonnection string is saved in the web.config. For the DAL it is stored in the app.settings. Is there a way for the DAL to use the connection string that is stored in the Web.config even thought it is in DLL for the production site?
View 2 RepliesI was reading about how it is a good idea to encrypt the connection strings for security purposes. I came up with a solution that I think may be somewhat elegant, but there may be big flaws in my thinking. I am overworked and tired :)
Basically I have a setting in the web config EncryptConnectionString. In the Global.asax. Application_Start I am checking this in the config. If it is true, I am encrypting the connection strings. If it is false, I am decrypting the connection string.
Question #1 Is there a better way?
I finished my first asp mvc project and want to post it to a iis7/sql2008 server.I published the site just fine and migrated the sqlexpress database to sql2008 with no problems.However, when I run the program it still connects tp sqlexpress and opens a user instance.For the life of me I cannot get the connection string correct:
The current sring is:
<add name="AlertEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.Alert.csdl|res://*/Models.Alert.ssdl|res://*/Models.Alert.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Alert.mdf;Integrated
Security=True;User Instance=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
How do I change this to make it see the sql2008 database?
how can I change ASP.NET Configuration tool-s connection string name? (Which connection string will ASP.NET Configuration tool will use)
I'm learning ASP.NET and everywhere and in book that I'm reading now theres connection string named: LocalSqlServer.
I want to use my local sql server database instead of sql express to store Roles, Membership and other data.
I have used aspnet_regsql.exe to create needed data structures in my database. after that I changed my web.config to look like:
[code]....
I have 3 Databases that I am pulling data from for my web site. 2 of the databases are in the same SQL instance, however the 3rd one is in a different SQL instance. Both of the SQL instances are installed on the same server, one of them is a Named instance and the other is installed under the default instance. So my connection strings look something like this:
<add name="ABCConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BobDataDB;Initial Catalog=Bob;User ID=*******;Password=*********;" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
<add name="BCDConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BobDataDB;Initial Catalog=Sue;User ID=*******;Password=*********;" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
<add name="EFGConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=Bob;Initial Catalog=Sue;User ID=*******;Password=*********;" ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I'm in the process of moving this application from the Development Server to the Production Server when I noticed this issue. Previously the ABC and BCD connectionStrings where pointing to a different server and instance. So my question is how do I get this wo work with the server names being the same but the instances being different?
Some databases that my application has to access have their name according to the current year because the ERP we work with creates a new database every year, so, now it's working with the 2010db database. There are two options (as far as I know) for the ConnectionString property of a SqlDataSource: 1) hard-code it or 2) pick it up from the web.config file.
I don't want to change manually the connection string every year, so, how can I solve this? I would need to take the value of Now.Year either in the hard-coded ConnectionString or for the Web.Config ConnectionString, but I don't know how to do that.
I have created a web site in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. I have created database using SQL Server Express. The web site works good. I have hosted the web site, then getting error in connecting to database.

connectionString="Data
Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|QkINDUS.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
