View 4 RepliesI am trying to add a new database via the App_Data Folder and I receive an error described below.When I attempt to add ANY TYPE OF SQL SERVER DATABASE through the App_Data folder I receive this error "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2008 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download
from the URl."
I can create a db via SQL Server Mgmt Studio, it connects fine, and I can see tables.
Visual Studio- Server Explorer connects fine to the Database, I can see the tables.
Im running XP SP3 w/ Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer. I had previously removed SQL Server Express.
Why cant I access the database within my project, when Im able to connect to this fine within Visual Studio Server Explorer?
I have a few questions regarding the "special" ASP.NET folders in Visual Studio web projects.
Adding an App_Data folder in Visual Studio is present, but grayed out in my C# web project, why?
What are the meanings of the various ASP.NET "special" folders?
App_GlobalResources App_LocalResources App_Data App_Browsers Themes - I know this is used to contain stylesheets for a particular theme and is then specified in the web.config or page (if I remember right).
App_Code - Were these classes that were pre-compiled? Do these ASP.NET folders retain their special meaning if you manually create a folder with the same name instead using the "Add ASP.NET Folder" feature in Visual Studio?
I am having problems getting the security.aspx to load up on my primary development computer which is using Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows IE 8. Clicking on the ASP.NET Configuration icon from the IDE in the Solution Explorer within Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition loads up default.aspx with no problem. But when I click on the "Security" hyperlink to access "security.aspx" I get a message along the lines of "The configured SQL data source provider is not properly configured". It goes on to state a list of potential reasons for this problem. One that includes not having the proper credentials or permissions. Im almost 100% sure it has something to do with permissions because I can't even get to the "security.aspx" page from opening a new empty project. I have recently installed Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition on my laptop which is running Vista with all latest updates and this issue does "not" exists. I can click the "ASP.NET" icon, load up "default.aspx" and click "Security" and it loads the page with absolutely no issues.
I have discovered a weird workaround but I don't like having to do this. If I add the following lines to my "web.config" file from any given project I can get to the "security.aspx" page without getting any SQL messages about improper configuration or permissions.
<<remove "LocalSqlServer">
<add
name="LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="data
source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
Basically, what I have to do to get to the security page to load without error is add a remove statement and then I just cut'n'paste almost the exact same connectionString from machine.config in the Microsoft.netFrameWorkV2.0.5027config directory. This does away with the "Improperly configured SQL datasource message" and gets me a new error message along the lines of "Could not create a SQL instance". My memory is fuzzy on exact error messages since Im not at development computer right now. However, when I change the User Instance attribute from true to false, then I have success at last.

So, i am running SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and VWD 2010 Express on Windows 7. I am logged in as admin on my machine. I have created a new web app project (VB Linq to SQL) and I have attempted to add an existing .mdf to my project's App_Data folder. I right-click, choose "add existing...", navigate to the .mdf file in the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10.SQLEXPRESSMSSQLDATA folder, and then i get an "Access is denied" error box with no further details.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2010 RTM and MS Sql Server 2008 R2 EXPRESS with Advanced Services.I create a new simple asp.net web site. When I click on asp.net configuration, it opens as expected.When I click on the Security Tab, I get the message, Unable to connect to SQL Server database.It will not create the default aspnetdb.mdf file.I can create a connection to the sql server in VS from the database explorer.I can connect to the sql server with sqlcmd as a trusted connection.I have even managed to verify the default instance of .SQLEXPRESS with named pipesusing the sc command and the MSSQL$instance name.I have verified that my machine dot config file for the 2.0 .net contains the proper info (without altering it).I've spent many nights trying to figure this one out.VS2008 and MS SQL Server EXPRESS 2008 worked.I noticed that the default asp.net web site uses a connection other than the default localsqlserverand the template automatically adds a login in the ui with role, membership & profile in the web config.
View 3 RepliesPardon if this is a very dumb question, but I was trying to migrate an existing ASP application to asp.net MVC, and followed the procedure from the music store tutorial (http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-music-store-part-4), which involves adding the
database to the App_Data folder. (I had to restart my machine before it would work, since otherwise, Visual Studio thought the database was being used by another application.)
Now when I check in Windows Explorer, it looks like the database file was literally copied into the App_Data folder, and now I have two mdf files on my hard drive with the same name. What is going on there?
Will my MVC app ignore the original (real) database and use it's own private copy instead? (That would be bad.) Or is the new copy just for reference when using wizards that generate entity classes etc.? If the latter, what is the procedure when the real
database is modified, to update the application code?

View 1 RepliesThe following code is used to add the asp membership tables to an already existing database instead of creating a seperate database for membership and having two databases in the application.
aspnet_regsql.exe -S .SQLEXPRESS -U username -P password -d databsename -A all
It works fine by adding the membership tables to the existing database that is located in the c drive, program files sqlserver folder.
But my database however is not in the c drive but located in my asp website app_data folder, so the above code does not give any error and the tables are not added after I run it. how can I now add the membership tables using the above code when my database is located in the website app_data folder,

I signed up with a new hosting company that uses Plesk. I use Visual Studio 2005 It appears that my rootfolder must be named httpdocs, which means every website I create would have the same name. If I do nothave my aspx files stored locally in an httpdocs folder, then I cannot synchronize with the server when I usethe copyweb dialog. Also Visual Studio 2005 creates a folder using the website name in the C:Documents and SettingsuserLocalSettingsApplication DataMicrosoftWebsiteCache for storing website settings, but cannot have multiple folders of same name, i.e., httpdocs, so this seems to be a conflict with Plesk. What can I do to resolve this?I talked with support at the hosting company, but they do not know Visual Studio at all. I am thinking I need to switch to
View 2 RepliesI've noticed that ASP.NET automatically creates an App_Data folder for you whenever you make a new webforms application.
Since all of my data comes from a SQL Server 2005 database server, is there any reason to actually keep this folder?
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.
My Microsoft Access DB file is in APP_DATA folder. my server is Windows 2003 and I like to know how is the best way to protect this file.

I have a number of XSLT files in my ASP.NET Web Application solution. Should these go in the App_Data folder?
The MSDN 'Project Folder Structure' article suggests that the App_Data folder is for 'data files'. As XSLT files are not strictly 'data files' then should they go elsewhere?
I do not want end users to be able to access the XSLT files from their browsers, so App_Data seems like an obvious location for this, but I am not sure.
I have put a css file in App_Data folder and referrenced it properly in the page to be used. But when I browse the page then it does get loaded and page is shown without styling. Well I know why it is happening because Asp.Net run time blocks access to App_Data folder at run time. But I wanna ask that how we can make it working that is I put the css file in App_Data folder and it still works.
