Visual Studio :: Northwind Database Not Showing Up In VWDE2008 Add Connection Box
Mar 5, 2010
I am a complete newbie when it comes to ASP.NET and SQL database access. I'm trying to learn so that I might become gainfully employed one day soon and better my life. I'm running through the Visual Web Developer Express 2008 beginning walkthroughs right now and I'm already stuck on the third one -- Walkthrough: Basic Data Access in Web Pages. I've installed MS SQL Server 2008 and downloaded the sample Northwind and pubs databases, and even (I think) attached the pre-built files using the DOS command: sqlcmd -S .SQLEXPRESS -i instnwd.sql. (Output was: Changed database context to 'master'. Changed database context to 'Northwind'.)
But, now, when I try to Add Connection through the Database Explorer in VWDE2008, nothing comes up in the Connect to a Database field. Shouldn't it auto-populate? If I'm supposed to manually type a name in there, what should it be? I've tried "Northwind" and "SQLEXPRESS" with no luck (getting a generic Unable to Connect message). I've verified the database is running with SQL Server Configuration Manager and that all Client Protocols are enabled.

I used Data Connections to connect a database but couldn't make it.
1. I used Windows Authentication to log on to database, my database's name wasn't displayed in Select or enter a database name dropdown menu, so I enter my database's name then I pressed Test Connection button, it said "This connection can't be tested because the specified database doesn't exist or isn't visible to the specified user."
2. So I used SQL Server Authentication to log on to the server,then I put my database's name in Select or enter a database name dropdown menu box, then press OK it's said that "Login failed for user 'xxx' or Try to press Test Connection button it said that "Login failed for user 'xxx'.
I'm sure that I use a correct username and password and I think it's a problem about VS can't see my database in SQLExpress2008.

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 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?

It pops up the Notification about the ASP.Net Development Server localhost but doesn't open ASP.Net Configuration in the default browser.I clicked on the Root Url (by double clicking on the 'development server' at the right bottom from Notification Manager).
It throws following error
"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."
Clicking on "How do i use this tool".It opened page with error.

I know both these software are old and that I can update to newer version. But I need to do it with those software in particular.I have Visual Studio 2005 and Visual SourceSafe 6 installed on my computer. When I try to open Visual SourceSafe 6 database using Visual SourceSafe 6 directly, I have no problem at all.Then I try to open a project solution I took from SourceSafe using Visual Studio 2005. Right away I receive this messageThe solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found. It is possible that the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file or another item that holds the source control settings for the solution, has been deleted. Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects whose bindings are missing will be treated as not under source control.
Then an invite to chose a SourceSafe Database open. I click on BROWSE. First thing I noticed : The SourceSafe available databases list is empty (while I remind, it's not in SourceSafe 6. I can see there the COMMON database and the VSS database which is located on a different server on our network. Before that, I went in TOOLS->OPTIONS->SOURCE CONTROL, and make sure Visual Source Safe was selected as the Plug-in to use for a Source Control).So I click again on Browse, and locate my srcsafe.ini file. Everything is OK. It evens confirm me that my database path is
\dev2k3programmationVSS and that my database name is indeed VSS. So it found it. I then click on OK.
But when I do, the Database is not added to my available list, at all. The result, I can never select a source control, ever, which end in me not being able to work connected to the main source control of our network. Everything is working fine on every other computer in our company. Only this one have problem.Did I give enough description to my problem? I really need help on this one, because working disconnected from Source Safe can give a lot of pain to our team. Can anyone give me an hand? If you need any more info, just ask.

I recently got a new PC and had all my development tools installed/configured, including Visual Studio 2003 (for support of older apps) and IIS. When working on web projects in the past, I would open the project via File->Open->Project from Web.The defaultURL is http://localhost, as it was on my old PC. When I click OK, no web projects are showing, even though I've setup a few asp.net web projects in IIS. To set these up, I moved the project to c:inetpubwwwroot<project name>, then go into IIS and change the folder to an app, and select 1.1 under the asp.net tab. I've also made sure the Frontpage server extensions are installed.I can open the project by using File->Open->Project, but I get "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. You do not have permissions to debug the server".I found several articles online addressing this and have made all suggested changes but so far nothing has worked.I feel that if I can get the project to show/open as a web project it will resolve this issue as well.

ALL the server controls are not showing in Visual Studio ASP.net project. It used to be intermittent, I would restart devenv and they would show again(even if the layout was terrible) Anyhow now it's not showing at all. The only change I made to the project was to switch Membership providers to MySql. Even pages that have no reference to Membership don't display.Anything(page wise) that has a server control fails (displayes the message "hresult e_fail when creating com component") even if it's just a label with no programming logic.

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?

I have two web forms inside the same project folder that will be very similar when completed. When I copy a web form and paste it in the project folder by its new name I can see the .aspx file, the aspx.cs and aspx.designer.cs all by the new name. Appears to work perfect...........Why don't these show up when I view the Solution Folder? I was hoping to copy one, make changes and rename the second one saving time. Appears to not be tied into the Project.

When using VS2008 and C# I choose File - New - Web Site.I use namespaces in the aspx files in the same folder.The problem is that the aspx files in one folder can not access the aspx files in other folders even though the files in each of the other folders use the same namespace followed by the folder name.
In fact, if I am in one folder and type the namespaces followed by a period, the other folder names are not displayed in intellisense, only the name of the folder name of the aspx file in which it resides is displayed on the intellisense.
How can I get the other folder names to show in intellisense from any other folder that I am working in when coding in the code behind? fyi, in the html inherit I point to the namespace, the folder name and the code behind file then in the code behind file I code the namespace, the folder name the aspx file is in and the class is the name of the code behind file.
