Visual Studio :: MVC2 - How To Connect To ODBC Datasource
Jul 8, 2010
I have built an ASP.NET classic application that references an ODBC connection to a DBISAM database.
When I try to connect to the same database in a MVC2 application I do not see any option to select an ODBC Data Source.
1. I right-click on my Models folder and select Add -> New Item
2. Choose "Data" on the left panel
3. Select ADO.NET Entity Data Model than click "Add"
Options were:
ADO.NET Entity Data Model
DataSet
LINQ to SQL Classes
SQL Server Database
XML File
XML Schema
XSLT File
4. Select "Generate from database..... click "Next"
5. Here I am presented with a "Choose Your Data Connection" screen. When I click the "New Connection" button I am given a "Choose Data Source" screen.
6. I am only presented with the following options on the "Choose Data Source" screen:
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5
Microsoft SQL Server Database File
<other>
7. This is where I expected to see ODBC as one of my options. What do I need to do to access ODBC?

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?

Can VS 2010 connect to a SQL 2000 database?
I get this error while using the Data/Connect and SQL Server 2008 R2 comes up.
"The connection failed because this instance of SQL Server is not supported. The Editor cannot connect to SQL Server 2000 or earlier versions."
Our production server is on SQL 2000

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 have an MVC 2 web application which uses models auto-generated by LINQ. When I add a Silverlight project to my solution, generating a new strongly-typed View fails with the message:
Compiling transformation: The type or namespace name 'Data' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?). I understand this is most likely because Silverlight does not access the System.Data namespace (at least, I can't add the reference to my Silverlight app). However, it's not really important - I'm just trying to generate an .aspx View at this stage, not a Silverlight View.
Is there any way to get this template generation to work, or do I have to create my Silverlight project outside the solution and build it separately? I was kind of hoping to take advtage of WCF RIA and some of the other goodies one gets from including the Silverlight app within the main solution... anybody got a fix?

I created a web application using visual studio 2010 / MVC2 / MSSQL 2008 and it runs fine in my laptop. However when I run the application in the hosting provider it shows the error message below:
Compiler Error Message:
CS0308
The hosting provider is [URL] and the link to my web application is [URL] I would like to know how to solve this issue? If anyone know PLEASE let me know how to troubleshoot / fix this issue. Also in case the problem is on the hosting provider, let me know if you know of a free or very affordable hosting provider with support for MVC 2 and MSSQL 2008.

I can't seem to add an Access DB to my ASP.Net project. I can see the DB in the Database Explorer Window, but I can't see any of the Tables or Views; nothing at all. I click Test Connection, and I get a message that 'Test Connection Succeeded', but I can't see anything and I don't seem to have any kind of control whatsoever. If I click on the Tables folder, I get this message: 'Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt'. When I double-click directly on the DB, it opens and runs just fine.
The Access DB is on my desktop. Originally developed in Access 2000; using 2007 now. Also, this is VWD and ASP.Net 3.5. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? It seems like a pretty easy thing, but it's turning out to be not quite as easy as I thought.

When I try to connect to my SQL Server 2005 from within the Visual Web Developer 2010 Database Explorer, I get the "This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later" message.If I open up my web project from within VWD 2008, it still works fine.For reference, my SQL 2005 machine is a separate machine than one I installed VWD 2010 on. I did install the ASP.NET 4 framework on the SQL 2005 machine (but not any of the extra tools).

I'm getting this problem with one of my web projects. I've looked at [URL] and other suggestions around the place, none of which apply here. The odd thing is, it's occurring with *one* of my new web site projects, but not another one. Odd again is that they're both 100% fresh sites, created with the "New Web Site" option in the File menu, within a day of each other, and nothing has been done to them, apart from a bit of "hello world" html. WebSite1 was created first, and Cassini worked when I first created it the other day. A day later, I created WebSite2 and Cassini worked (and still works) with that one.
However, when I open WebSite1, I get the above error code - again, it was working fine the other day, and WebSite2 works fine. I've compared their .sln file - so differences apart from the VWDPort number used, and of course the path to the site and various GUIDs. Everything else is identical. Same with comparing web.config files. No differences there at all. So I'm stumped - why would Cassini start up fine with WebSite2 (and subsequent sites I create) but suddenly stop working for the WebSite1 project, when it was working ok a couple of days ago?

I am having an issue coinnecting to Oracle using the Oracle Database (OracleClient). I can connect to Oracle using other tools such as TOAD, POWERBUILDR, SQL PLUS but not Visual Studio. These other tools use the TNSNAMES.ORA file so that is not the problem. I can use use oledb and it connects ORACLE but not the ODP.Net.

Not too long ago I was given a new PC with windows 7 Professional on it. Before, I had vs 2008 running on win xp which worked OK. I started getting error msg (Unable to connect to ASP.NET development server) after I installed vs 2008 (version 9.0.30729.1 sp1 vs team system dev. edition) and ran one of my projects and even a simple test project. The first msg shows the syntax of webdev.webserver with an example in the bottom. I can get this error by running the project or by showing any page in the browser. I noticed that file WebDev.WebServer.EXE does not appear in the folder C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv3.5. If that's the only reason why I am having this problem than how can I fix it. I was told that .net framework 3.5 works on top of .net framework 2.0?! I just want to sort out this .net framework mess on my new machine. I am willing to uninstall all .net framework and start fresh. Another thing that I am willing to try is to get from a coworker the WebDev.WebServer.EXE (from the .net framework 3.5 folder) and see if it works.
