Visual Studio :: Use Database File From SQL Server 2005 Installed In App Data Directory?
Dec 1, 2010
I am just learning application development and my question is so I can demo a project from an Internship for a class at school. I am planning on using Visual Studio 2010 in debug mode for the presentation.
Here it goes:
I created a database utilizing SQL server 2005. I want to take the .mdf file from SQL Server and place it in the App data directory of my application. I am hoping that I do not need to rebuild any datasets that I am currently utilizing. I am utilizing several stored procedures that are in the database, these stored procedure are access utilizing my datasets.
I was able to place the file in the application but I get an exception whenever I try to utilize a stored procedure that was created in the database.
Here is the error: 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I verified all of my datasets utilize the following connection:
I noticed that when I download a framework say like "Coolite" and open the solution, and find the Connection to the Database showed up in the Server Explorer.
In some other times, the Connection Dose not show.
I can create a connection to a Database in Server Exploere, but I need say to add it to my Web.Config directly, but not sure how. I am trying to drag-and-drop from the Server Explorer to Web.Config, it is not working.
When and how the Connections to Databases will show in Server Explorer ?
How I can create a connection to a Database using say a Wizard, and add it directly to Web.Config ?
I've used the WebPI to install SQL Server Express 2008 and VWD2008 SP1. I made sure to install SQL Server first then install VWD. Whenever i use VWD now though and try to add a new SQL Server Database to my website i get the error message "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly."
I'm a little stuck as to where to proceed with this error. I've un-installed everything web development related and re-installed and still get the same error. I was under the impression that VWD2008 SP1 required SQL Server Express 2008 and wouldn't work with SQL Server Express 2005 so can't understand why it now wants it to be installed.
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 installed SQL server along with Visual Studio 2008 Express edition Developer edition.
1. I want to access this server via Management Studio Express( I installed later) how can do it? Windows authentication or Sql server authentication - give me step by step procedure.
2. How to use the server in asp.net programs - how to give connectionstring
I had archived all of my files prior to the change. Since I am now having a great deal of trouble working with 2010, I want to revert. My question is: If I restore all of the archived files and start 2008, will I need to make any changes to the registry or to any other files?
The problems that I am having are illusive. Some of the relative paths nolonger work. Some f the projects that had been working for 24 months no longer functions. I am having a great deal of trouble calling my older "[WebMethod]" "ASMX" services and many other issues.
I am trying to conect to my SQL Server 2008 instance from application in Visual studio unsuccessfully.
This how my Instance appears in SSMS
DETERMIN (SQL Server 10.0.4000 - balloonshop )
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 (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 new to .net field , currently i am using Visual Studio 2005, Sql Server 2005(not express editions). Now while creating a website when i want to add a database through VS 2005 >App_Data>"New Item">Sql Database...i am getting an error "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URl: http:go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkID=49251"...
secondly if i add a database through Sql Server how it will add in website that i created in VS 2005.
I've added a key/value pair to an .resx file named SharedResources in my App_GobalResources directory.All the examples I've read on line have me trying to access the value as:
[Code]...
However, the intellisense is telling me that (Resources is not a member of '<Default>')
I've also tried this syntax, without the global
Dim MsgTemplate As String = Resources.SharedResources.EmailTemplate
I then get a message that (SharedResouces is not a member of Resources)
The intellisens is showing the following members for Resources
ResourceManger
ResourceReader
ResourceWriter
It should be compiling a global collection based upon the files in my App_GlobalResources directory from what I'm reading.However,I can't find anything to match what everythink on line says I should have available.
sorry for buther I'm a newbie in ASP.NEt MVC and I have some issue deploying my application on IIS, that use a logo image within my main master page declared as
<img src="../../Content/logo.bmp" alt="logo" />
When I use the internal visual studio web server work well but not on my other IIS Server.
What's the mean of ../../Content ? Is this directory deployed with particular rules?
I downloaded some project from some site which is made in VS 2003. When I open its project file in Notepad I get following at first line Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 8.00. I don't have VS 2003 in my PC but I have VB 2005 and 2008 Express Edition. Now I wanted to upgrade that file but it is not doing.
I work with Visual studio 2005 and Sql server data base. I extract 1 million rows from a database and I put the rows in a Sql table. With a simple direct extraction, in a few minutes I complete the operation:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(query, cnSql) cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() cmd.Dispose().
But, if I must select and modify some fields between extraction and introduction, it takes a lot of time! I work in this way. I extract rows from Dbase, Table1, and I put all into a Collection using dataReader:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(query, cnSql) Dim coll As New Collection coll.Clear() Dim dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader() I replace some fields with the string "YES". Dim toRepl As String = "" If dr.HasRows Then Do While dr.Read toRepl = dr(5).ToString If Len(toRepl) <= 3 Then ToRepl = "YES" collPrel.Add(dr(0).ToString) collPrel.Add(dr(1).ToString) .................. .............. collPrel.Add(toRepl) collCount = collCount + 1 Loop End If dr.Close() cmd.Dispose() Now, I insert all into a SQL Table2: Dim a As String = "", b As String = "", c As String = "" etc. For i = 1 To collPrel.Count Step 6 a = collPrel.Item(i).ToString b = collPrel.Item(i + 1).ToString .............. ............... f = collPrel.Item(i + 5).ToString queryIns = "INSERT INTO Tab (name, adress, etc) VALUES ('" & a & "', '" & b & "', '" & c & "', etc. ) Dim cmdIns As New SqlCommand(queryIns, cnSql) cmdIns.CommandTimeout = 600 cmdIns.ExecuteNonQuery() cmdIns.Dispose() Next
This way to work goes right but it is necessary a lot of time for completing the operation.
I recently purchased a new computer running Windows 7 Home, and after installing Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express, I am unable to connect to the database using the "Connect To Database" wizard. I get the following error:
"This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later."
The version of SQL Server 2005 Express I've downloaded is directly from the Microsoft site and I also downloaded the SP3 to be used with Windows 7, x64 (which I presumed was a later version of the database). I am able to connect to the database programatically, but I would like to get the wizard functionality working as well (as I am unable to add a database to my projects, using the "Add New Item" wizard either).
I just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.
I have winxp sp3 home ed. I have installed vs2008 and sp1 and verified this. I tried to install sql server 2008 and keep getting an error saying cant continue because A previous release of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is installed on this computer. Upgrade Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to the SP1 before installing SQL Server 2008. vs2008 SP1 is installed and why isnt this been detected ? I read I need to I read I need windows installer 4.5 but I have already installed this.
I want to use a source control in VS2010, I know my best bet is TFS, but at the moment TFS(can't afford ). As i understand TFS is the new VSS_2005(can afford)Can VSS 2005 be use as a source control for VS 2010 solutions/projects?
I have installed VS Team System 2008 from a dvd on my computer,the setup has installed every thing but failled the installation of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.The setup terminates my this error"An error has occured during the installation,Could not install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition". Then I have tried to install sql server 2005 through SQLEXPR.exe. But this .exe file has failed the installation of SQL Server Database Services and MSXML6. Do anybody have any idea why sql server 2005 is not installing on my machine? P.S I haven't installed any other version of VS except this VS 2008.
I used to have nice development environment at XP for .Net web application development. I have now installed Windows 7 and going to take it as my new machine. I already installed VS2005 and I'm able to build a project. IIS is working fine and I'm able to open the web application in the web browser. Windows firewall is Off.When I click Start Debuggin on Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7 I get following error:Unable to start debugging on the web server. Unable to connect to the web server. Verify that the web server is running and that incoming HTTP requests are not blocked by a firewall. What could be wrong? Something to configure in the IIS?
