DataSource Controls :: Connecting To SQL Server In Visual Studio 2008 Using Code - Error: 25 - Connection String Is Not Valid
Feb 2, 2010
Background: I use SQL server 2005 developer edition and visual studio 2008. Visual studio 2008 is running on a local machine with Vista business edition. SQL server is running on a remote server using Windows server 2003. Both computers are within the same domain.
Problem: First, I used the server explorer to connect to the SQL server. Everything works as desired. Then I write code to do the same thing. I keep getting the following error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)
However, I used the exactly identical connection string as the one used in the server explorer. So connection string should not be the problem. In addition, I tried the test code in MSDN, which tells whether my domainusername can flow the network. It turns out the user name is fine. I also went to the SQL server management studio and found the login for my computer is NVCWeihao while my computer login name is NVCweihao. I am wondering if this uppercase letter really affects the connection.

I'm creating a website and I'm testing resgistering and Log-in.
I followed a simple tutorial to create a Log-in in Visual Studio C# template which generated a SQL Server database.Locally the Log-in and registration page works perfectly. The problem is that when I upload my site to the hosting site the navigation works but the Log-in and Registration forms send an error when clicked "Register" or "Log-in". I contacted the site and they upload my database the way it should be because I was doing it wrong. I can see all my files including the data base.
They commented me that I had to do a connection string to the data base so the login and registration forms can work. I don't understand how to do that, I know the connection string has to be declared in the Web Config File, the thing is that I don't know how to write that code and link it to my data base in the hosting site, in fact I have sample code but I don't know just what do I need to put in it.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008, and my database is SQL Server 2000.
I want to add a connection to the Server Explorer in VS. The Data source is Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient). After entering in all my information and I click Test Connection, it is successful.
But when I click OK, I get the error:
Unable to add data connection. ExecuteScalar requires an open and available connection. The connection's current state is closed.

I would like to do a connection of asp.net page with Sql Server. Here I would like to read the Windows user account name and pass in the connection.The connection should be Windows authentication. IIS server and Sql server are installed in different machine. Here I am able to connect locally, When I am running from server, It takes windows account of Server.
so i can read local account(Where user is accessing the web application) and make windows authentication sql server connection.

I created and populated a database inside Visual Studio 2008 instead of using Management Studio.I need to run the script to create the schema for users and roles.The database does not show up in ASP.NET SQL Server Setup Wizard or in Management StudioThe only databases that do show up are master, model, msdb, and tempdb
Is there anything I can do to fix this or would it be easier for me to just create a new database starting in Management Studio and then connect to it from within Visual Studio?

I have an SqlDataSource with several parameters, one of which is a date/time, that is in the database it is stored in one field as short date + long time, i.e., "11/14/2010 9:15:34 PM".
I pass a string to that parameter which looks exactly like that, but I get an error: "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime?"

I am very new to ASP .NET and am getting above error when trying to insert a new record into a SQL database. I have turned on Option Explicit On so the default date of 01/01/1900 does not get assigned to this field automatically. Since most of the people in the database will not have a date of death, I need to have "blank" deathDate. When I run the stored procedure within SQL and choose pass null value, the Insert Procedure works fine. When I attach to Web Form, however, I get String was not recognized as a valid DateTime error. How can I set it so Null values are accepted into this date field.

can Visual Studio 2008 be All-In-One tool to integrate source code continuously from team members, build, unit test?
Having used Visual Studio Team Edition 2005, unit testing each method within VS itself. I strongly believe that it is feasible to add-on tools. Example ankhsvn tool to use SVN from Visual studio [URL]
In my investigating i have come across number of tools(shown below) to use with Visual Studio 2008 professional
Development tool:- Visual Studio 2008 professional using Subversion as source control tool. Continuous Integration:- Hudson or Cruise control Build tool:- NAnt Testing:- NUnit, Selinium As Visual Studio 2008 can be used for unit testing I think NUnit is out of consideration.
In the same way i would like to have any other tools/add-ons to Visual studio to implement continuous integration, building and unit testing. This process should be automated such a way source code between team members is continuously integrated, built and unit testing is done as configured.
Objective is to use few number of tools as add-on to Visual Studio or achieve most from Visual studio itself (example unit testing). Visual Studio should be all in one tool.
I am aware that Team Foundation Server best suits my requirement, but it is out of scope due to its cost.

I am using LINQ to SQL in a project. I create a new DataContext class (a "DBML").
This is a DotNetNuke portal, module project. DNN has a standard connection string named "SiteSQLServer." Of course, I want my DataContext class to use this same connection string.
In Server Explorer in Visual Studio, I have a connection to the development database. Of course, that connection knows nothing of the "SiteSQLServer" connection string in web.config.
When I drag a table into the DBML design screen, I get a popup message that the table I'm dragging in is from a different connection, and is it OK if it changes the connection string? If I say "No," then the table never comes in to the designer. If I say "OK," then Visual Studio adds a new connection string to my web.config file. Then I must click in the open area of the designer, then go to the Properties window and reset the connection string. If I miss this, then in testing everything works. But when I deploy to a production server, the connection fails. But even if I do not miss this, that extra connection string remains in my web.config file.
Is there a way to get Visual Studio to drop the table into the designer, and leave web.config alone?

Below is an example of a connection string from the book I am following which works if you have SQLExpress on your localhost domain.
I am using SQL Server Enterprise My Server name is DETERMIN (computer) . When I am in SSMS this is how my instance node appears

Determin is the name of my computer I think its the name of my instance as well not sure, balloonshop is my login. How can I substitute the names properly for the connection string below in order to connect to my instance

Which version of Visual Studio 2008 do you currently use with NHibernate? I would like to test out NHibernate at home, but I'm not sure if I want to shell out $500 plus for VS 2008 professional edition. Has anyone had any luck with NHibernate on VS 2008 standard or even one of the VS express editions?

I have installed VS 2010 Ultimate and it came with SQL 2008. what version it is and also how to create a connection in place to keep using the Oreilly examples to hopefully learn how to develop in C#. I have been learning but it is getting more difficult. I try to follow the steps but it just does not make sense. provide some easy steps to check version and connection method to sql using 2010,
I did see a post for sql management(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=08e52ac2-1d62-45f6-9a4a-4b76a8564a2b&displaylang=en). I am going to download to hopefully be able to view the database. We have sql server 2008 at work and I have used the studio management for sql to run queries and would like to do the same with the version that was installed with the installation of 2010 ultimate. I can get the connection to the database so I can start learning how to build a dictionary and list for some queries. My goal is to create a aspx file that will show entries in a database we have at work.
