I am a beginner in using Asp.NET with C# and it is my first time I am trying to establish a connection with an SQL server 2005 database: Here is my simple code to connect to the sql server database,I am getting the text message set in the label. Is my problem in the connectionString ??? how to write it and ow to get the server name and write it correctly ....or how to specify the database name (all path or just database name??)

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 using a datasource in the report server where all the reports use that shared datasource while calling the reports from asp.net pages.
Now, as asp.net pages uses the connection string for the databases which is assigned in the web.config file, i want the reports also use the same connection string because you don't need to change on both places( web.config and report server datasource).

View 3 RepliesI 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.
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.
I'm a web developer and I work primarily in Django -- I've never used ASP.Net or anything like that before, but I'm troubleshooting a problem for a friend's parents / client so I need some advice!
It's pretty simple: I need to change the parameters of their SQL Server database connection because of some server upgrades that happened at their hosting company -- is it ok for me to go in and just edit a .cs file, or does it need to be compiled or some other business?
Literally just need to change the parameters of
mySqlConn = new SqlConnection("server=hostname;database=dbname;uid=username;pwd=password;");

View 6 RepliesI am new for web hosting.My hosting provider use plesk panel for manage websites.I have created MS SQL database using plesk panel. but every time I am getting error when trying to connect ro database. I am using the following connection string.

I am having trouble connecting to a ms sql database on the server. The hosting company said that the .sql file was imported successfully, but when I try to use the 'login' or 'create account' features im getting an error page saying:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed.
I am sure all the connection info is correct so it is really frustrating trying to work the problem. I have listed the connection string in my web.config file to see if anyone can see anything wrong with it.
be it's a wrong place to ask the following question. Sorry for that. Our hosting provider has recently upgraded their database server from Sql Server 2005 to 2008 and I'm getting errors to connect with remote server from my development machine. Error Message "Invalid connection". Tried to find solution on net but couldn't find it.I'm using .Net 1.1. Though we've updated versions 2.0,3.5 & 4.0 but due to some certain circumstances I've no way to update it. It's a web based project. The following connection string works fine for Sql Server 2000 & 2005 but not for 2008.<add key="ConnectionString" value="Data Source=Remote Server's domain name;Initial Catalog=database name;User ID=user name;Password=surround;Persist Security Info=True;Pooling=false;Connect Timeout=45;" />Here Remote Server's domain name indicates to remote db server like: test.mysite4now.comdatabase name for example: test_surrounduser name like test_surroundpassword: surround.Can anyone inform me what's wrong with the above connection string to connect to Sql Server 2008.
View 9 RepliesTo give some background details, I have created a website for a friend that has a few pages that require a database in the background. I've used Visual Studio templates for most of it, so there's the standard ASPNETDB.MDF file that's created for users and groups, a login page and a page to view and manage those users etc etc. The login page uses the standard controls for logging in, retrieving lost passwords and so on. Being standard controls, by default they get the connection string from the web.config file. Upon attempting to upload the site to my host (1and1.co.uk in case anyone else has any dealings with them) I discovered that storing the connectionstring doesn't work. 1and1 support say that the sql databases can only be accessed using scripts like this (this is an example of theirs):
<html>
<title>Queries from the MS-SQL database with ASP</title>
<body bgcolor="FFFFFF">
<h2>Query from table <b>products</b> with ASP</h2>
<%
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=mssqxxx.1and1.com;UID=dboxxxxxxxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx;DATABASE=dbxxxxxxxxx"
'This code block will create a recordset
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
SQL = "select * from products"
rs.open SQL, conn
'will iterate to display the records got from the database
While Not rs.EOF
response.write(rs("id") & " " & rs("price"))
rs.MoveNext
Wend
'closes the connection
rs.close
conn.close
Set rs = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing
%>
</body>
</html>
So my question, is it possible to get the standard asp.net controls to access a database through a script like this?
We're migrating one of our sites to ASP.Net. We do not want to use integrated security, which uses the windows account to connect to sql server (not going to get into why, its just out of the question). We created a username and password to connect to SQL Server, and would like to use that username and password, however, we also do not want other developers to see this information (easily read from the web.config).... I know it can be encrypted, but it can just as easily be decrypted by the developers - plus encryption has a performance hit.
View 5 RepliesIs 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 new server that I am attempting to deply my very first asp.net website on. I have installed SQL 2008 r2 and loaded my DB on it. I am able to access the server/DB through Visual Stuidio. At least I know i can call it from the webserver to my local PC.
For some reason I just cant get my we.config's connection strong right. It might even be the <provider> info that I have wrong. I am just too inexperienced to know for sure. My Web.Config is very short so I will post all of it here.
