Visual Studio :: How To Connect To A Database Via MS Visual Web Developer
Jul 22, 2010
I need to connect to a third-party hosted database. The VPN tunnel is already set up and an IP address has been provided to me, but I'm not sure how to access the database through the tool.
I have tried the Database Solutions tab > Data Connections > and the one listed under this is called "ASPNETD8.MDF", but when I click on this, I get this error message:
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"
I'm using an ODBC connection to connect a SQL 2005 database to my ASP.NET app in Visual Web Developer Express. I'm finding that the expected functionality that tutorials review does not work for ODBC connected databases the same way as it does for SQL databases created in the Web Developer. For example, I can't use stored procedures because the option to create one is disabled in the Web Developer, and if I create the stored procedure in SQL Server Management Studio Express, it doesn't show up in Web Developer because Web Developer only finds the system stored procedures, not the user-defined ones. I've seen other cases as well where database management options in Web Developer don't work with ODBC databases.
Am I missing something in my setup, or is there an inherent limitation with ODBC connected databases? Or, is this a limitation with using the Express versions of these development tools?
Im having a strange problem which i never experienced before, the problem is my visual web developer 2005 express edition is not getting attached to the debugger, i mean when im running my web application it is not debugging the program if im putting any breakpoint, more over i uninstall and again installed visual web developer it worked fine for first time but again it is not working. i only difference is i have Internet explorer 8.I dont exactly know the problem. does any one faced similar problem
I uninstalled VWD 2010 Express Beta2. Then installed latest Release(April 12th) via Web Platform Installer .oh yes after installing XP Service Pack 3.
It all installed successfully and when I start the VWD 2010 express image comes up ....there is this fine text that says....
"For Evaluation Purpose Only"
"Use of this software should be limited to evaluation purpose only"
Being confused with that message I looked at Help->About VWD 2010 Express and right on top it says:
"29 days remaining"
So what's happening ? Did I install some wrong product... I don't think so...I used Web Platform Installer and yes it is "Visual Web Developer 2010 Express" and not a Professional Trial software.
I'm totally new to ASP.NET ( as a VC++ 6.0 engineer ), I have just downloaded the express edition of 2010 web developer and cannot find for the life of me the correct project template to create an ASP.NET webservice.. in 2008 it appears there is an option for this .. however I cannot find it in 2010..

I have a form that I'm working on in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I have a dropdown list to choose a data from the database. I want to use the chosen list item to populate a GridView object. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do.I have a data connection which uses a fixed SQL statement to populate the dropdown list and that works fine. I can select an item on the list and retrieve the correct information for the next query (namely an ID value for the next SQL statement).I have the data connection with another SQL statement to populate the gridview and that works fine. The gridview is currently just showing the entire dataset (it doesn't use the item that was selected in the dropdown list.Now I want to change the gridview's data connection to use the selected item in the dropdown list as a parameter to modify the SQL statementWhen I look at the properties of the data connection for the gridview data, I can bring up the Query properties and see the select statement. I also see the properties panel. I can add a property Name (Mine is "ID"). I then chose "Control" in Parameter Source and selected the ControlID for the dropdown list that has the ID information that I want to use for the parameter. I went into the advanced properties and modified some of the information because the ControlID is a Text field and the Database Column is a BigInt.My select statement looks like this:
[Code]....
What I don't know is how to get the parameter into the select statement.I've tried:

I use Firefox to browse the web, but I'd like Force Visual Web Developer 2010 Express to exclusively use Internet Explorer when I run my web apps (by pressing F5). is there a way to set this?
several buttons my my wireless logitech keyboard stop working (the "back", "enter" buttons)---but only when I'm using Visual Web Develop Express. The problem does not happen with any other application. Any one heard of this? How can I resolve it?

My existing system has Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. But Microsoft web installer for Webmatrix has made Wematrix Launch ribbon menu pointing to Visual Studio 2008. How could I make Webmatrix point to Visual Web Express 2010. To make use of IntelliSense and the debugger, I have to manually launch Visual Web Developer 2010 Express.
I am trying to conect to my SQL Server 2008 instance from application in Visual studio unsuccessfully.
This how my Instance appears in SSMS

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 (SQL Server 10.0.4000 - balloonshop )
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
I am trying to figure out what software to purchase for my small business. We are a small team of procedural PHP intermediate developers, and we want to migrate to ASP.NET. I know the learning curve may be steep, but we want to do this right. What is best software for us to purchase from a professional developer point of view? We have used Dreamweaver for PHP in the past a bit. We are proficient in HTML and CSS. I know EW, VWD and VS can all get the job done, but what are best options that a beginner can start with and work up to advanced. Maybe some drag/drop database functions like CRUD, user authentication controls, etc.. We need an easy way to pull data from database fields. Ideally a solution that works with SQL and also MySQL would be best if that is possible. We need something more advance than the old Frontpage days for sure. Also, what are main difference between Visual Web Developer Express, Visual Studio and Expression Web? We just build dynamic websites and have no need for software development.
I'm having a site done in ASP.NET and part of the quote is deployment. It's only one page at the moment. Can I configure VWD to download my app to my PC in VWD?
It will also have a Telerik RadGrid that VWD doen't support, will I still get the page wih some kind of placeholer?
I have a problem with debuging my site in Visual Web Developer 2008 via localhost.Every time I click F5 I get the following message: "Unable to Start Debugging on the Web Server - Web Server Could Not Find Requested Resource"I checked all the path to localhost, a version of the framework, Dokuments, Directory security, and all you can check out the web server and everything is as it should be.I even found an article on Microsoft's website: "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwesw3ee.aspx" which states that re-install Framework and re-install Visual Web Developer.And I made it and still not started to work properly.
I know that Visual Web Developer is a server that is built into it (and it work's fine), but I would still like to be processed debug through a localhost (it's about the IIS within Windows XP).Therefore, I ask for help, I would like to know what I still need to check how I could debug the code within asp.net page because Visual Web Developer does not support the Attach to a Running Process?
