Visual Studio :: Create Connection String To Perform Test With Text Book?
Sep 14, 2010
I 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.
I am doing Automated coded ui testing in asp.net 2010 for web application. I am testing site and i need to know how can i create the test which will work with all browsers. Right now i created test in IE 8 but its not working in Firefox. So is there any way i can create one test and will work in all browser.
I used Object Test Bench to test my classes in VS 2008 professional edition . Right click on Class name and then selected create instance ,then its Constructor, there comes a dialog box, that just gives a message and a TextBox field is present there, i filled that field with any name and clicked OK.Then error message comes that "Create Instance Failed" and its error code is "0x80004005" . What's this ? How to instantiate object of my classes ?
But with the same procedure i can create object in WPF applications. What is problem with asp.net ?
I have Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition- Version 3.5 SP1 (9.0.30729.1 SP).I've noticed when working through examples they show a window, Create Unit Test Project, but that this window never appears when I follow their steps.Do I need to go somewhere and check a box so the program will give me this window?Does this mean VS2008 didn't install correctly?
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?
Data -> Add new data source -> ... -> Save the connection string to the Application configuration file (yes, save the connection) result in "An unexpected error has occured." Error Message; Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.SyncFacade.SyncManager'from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataDesign.SyncDesigner.DslPackage,Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
i have to do some message exchange with a 3rd party (in a website).When the client posts a page, i start the message exchange. When that doesn't succeed for some reason, i report this to the client by rendering the page with a message.On the background, in a separate thread, i start a process to send abort messages to the 3rd party. I can't do this while the user is waiting for the page to come back, because it might take a few minutes.But in a test project, the test ends when the message to the 3rd party is sent, and after the new thread is started. But it seems that the new thread also ends, when the test is done.
Is that normal behaviour?I do start the thread in a new class with a reference to 2 objects from the class which tries to send the message in the first place, may that be a problem?EDIT: it keeps running when the whole process is started in IIS
I have VS 2008 Professional Edition.....I want to test a function like this:
public int getIdByName(string name) { var item=from x in DATAB where x.name=name select x.id; . . return idValue; }
now I test end I have:
[TestMethod()] public getIdByNameTest() { string name="Bob" int expected = 1; int actual; actual = ClassGET.getIdByName(name); Assert.AreEqual(expected, actual); Assert.Inconclusive("Verify the correctness of this test method."); }
The error in "test run" is:
Failed ......[Class]....... Test method threw exception: System.ArgumentException: The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration that is not for use with the EntityClient provider or thought is invalid
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.
Background: I use SQL server 2005 developer edition and visual studio 2008. Visual studio 2008 is running on a local machine with Vista business edition. SQL server is running on a remote server using Windows server 2003. Both computers are within the same domain.
Problem: First, I used the server explorer to connect to the SQL server. Everything works as desired. Then I write code to do the same thing. I keep getting the following error message:
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid)
However, I used the exactly identical connection string as the one used in the server explorer. So connection string should not be the problem. In addition, I tried the test code in MSDN, which tells whether my domainusername can flow the network. It turns out the user name is fine. I also went to the SQL server management studio and found the login for my computer is NVCWeihao while my computer login name is NVCweihao. I am wondering if this uppercase letter really affects the connection.

I tried to install Visual Studio Prof 2010 trail version in my system, but i got an error saying 'Please remove/uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' to proceed installation. i uninstalled my previous VS2008 software from system and i could not find anything like 'Remove/Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' software in my Add/Remove Programs.
I would like to know how to run a MbUnit test in Visual Studio 2008 Professional. In the binDebug folder of my test project I have placed MbUnit.dll & Gallio.ddl.I have also installed ReSharper 5 plugin in Visual Studio I have made a MvcApplication1.Tests test project which is a Class Library.My test is just testing the Index() action of the HomeController in a default VS 2008 MVC project, it looks like this:
[Code]....
My question is very simple: HOW DO I RUN THIS TEST?
I've noticed that VS2008 removes the "none" option in the properties -> connection dropdownlist after you have modified a LinqToSql class where the "none" option was previously specified.So if i create a LinqToSql class, drag some db tables in, then set the connection to "none" in the properties window, save, then make a change to the db tables i've dragged into the class, i can't get it to go back to "none" again.I've noticed this behavior sporadically, not all the time. Havent isolated when it happens yet.The none option is required if you want to save your connection string in the web.config, and not in the designer.cs class or the .dbml file.
I have VS 2010 professional. I am trying to open "ASP.Net Configuration" through Project -> ASP.Net Configuration.
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'm trying to create a MVC project inside of VS 2010 using Asp.Net MVC 2 RC2, using all the default settings and the default "Visual Studio Unit Test" framework and am getting 6 Namespace errors upon compile (without touching ANYTHING). Pretty standard setup. I removed the prior MVC versions before installing RC2 for VS2010 etc. These are the errors:
[Code]....
The namespace "AWWOAMVC" is empty (or so says Intellisense). Both of these reside in the same solution explorer, as it is brand new project.
I'm going thru an asp.net 4 book, and I'm at a part about classes and their properties and functions. But up to now, all the examples involve a web_site, with controls, code_behind files, CSS, etc. But, I get to places where I don't understand the examples, so I look out on the web for other resources. For example, I found the code below to demonstrate the "ToString" function. My problem is, I'm not sure know how to test a little piece of code like this. Can't I just open up an application or project or something, paste this in and run it?
Module Module1 Class Perl Dim _a As Integer Dim _b As Integer Public Sub New(ByVal a As Integer, ByVal b As Integer) _a = a _b = b End Sub Public Overrides Function ToString() As String Return String.Format("[{0}, {1}]", _a, _b) End Function End Class Sub Main() Dim p As Perl = New Perl(2, 3) Console.WriteLine(p) End Sub End Module
I have a WebTest that simply opens a login page, inputs a userid/password and logs in.I need this test to user a list of ten userid/password combinations.
I've already recorded this event and the Form Post Parameters display a userText and pwText entry. I assume I do something with those to accomplish that. I just don't know what.
I am for the first time checking out the Test functionality within VS 2008 Team Edition.I selected some classes for tests to be generated against. Started "Create Unit Tests" and after a short while the progression bar"Generating Test Methods..." is hung, and it has been like that for an hour.What would cause this, and how could I prevent this in the future?
I'd like to tryout ASP.NET MVC2, im using VWD2010 on Windows 7. I can't seem to be able to get the unit test dialog to pop up. I googled it and all I find is nUnit templates for VWD2008.
Anyone running into this issue with same setup as mine?
I initially installed Visual Studio 2008 Developer edition. I then installed Visual Studio 2008 Suite edition, with 2008 Developer edition still on the PC. When attempting to create a new Web Test, this option is not available to select when adding a new test in the solution.
The steps I followed: 1) Create new Project: Test Project 2) Add "New Test" 3) At this point I would expect "Web Test" to be an option, I only have Ordered Test, Unit Test, and Unit Test Wizard.
Do I need to uninstall Visual Studio 2008 and start with a clean Visual Studio 2008 Suite to get the "Web Test" option to show?
How to force tests from one test library run in one 'packet' - I mean - all tests from A.dll, then all tests from B.dll and so on?
Now, when libraries use the same database, mixing tests from various libraries causes errors - one library restores database before test method is started from other library....
The other possibility, that I'm thinking about is to not use assembly load startup method, but restore all databases only once - before first test starts - but I don't know how to do it...
