Web Forms :: A Centralized Web App That Uses A User's Local Connection String?
Jul 24, 2010
I am writing a web app for work. The users who are using this app will not be using the same connection string- for example, we have about 40 customers whose data resides in their respective database. The goal of this app is to be able to query the database for a given customer without having to go in and modify the web.config connection string (obviously, because that will change the connection string globally across users- I want the users to be able to have their own local connection string to be used by the app). is this possible?

i am trying to use a compact db in my web site, all works well with a absolute address to the file "c:mydirmydb.sdf"
but i dont want to use a absolute address for deployment reasons. i want to use somthing like |datadirectory to find the file.
This is a connection string for a entity model. somthing like
<
add
name="MyEntities"
connectionString="metadata=res://*/Entity.csdl|res://*/Entity.ssdl|res://*/Entity.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5;provider
connection string="Data
Source=|DataDirectory|mydb.sdf;Password=xxxxxxxx;Persist Security Info=True""
providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"
/>

Is it possible to connect to a SQL Server Express 2008 database in ASP.NET with a server name of (local) like "server=(local);integrated security=SSPI;database=DBNAME"? I'm working with another developer on a project and it's getting annoying having to have 2 different version of web.config because he is using SQL Server 2008 and (local) works, but I can't seem to get it to work with SQL Server 2008 Express locally. The database is located on the same computer as the .NET code in case that matters.

I have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?

I am preparing for an Access2007 db conversion at the beginning of the year and would like to know what the best process would be for connecting to the sqlserver2005 database. I have read about adding the connection string to the web.config file. I have also read about using ADO.NET and put the connection information into a class and not the web.config file.
I would like to hear from others as to what you have used, are using, or plan on using for a webapp (vs2010), and why so I can get an understanding.

I have an ASP.Net website running on IIS7. The Application Pool is set to ASPv4 Classic.
Authentication Mode is set to ASP.Net Authentication & Windows Authentication
My question is, when I want to connect to SQL using a "trusted connection" in the Connection String, what user will actually be passed into SQL?
I thought it would pass my logon details, but it is coming back with an NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON error, which seems to point towards it not passing in my logon.

I am trying to determine if it is possible to add a concatenated string to one of my local .resx files. This example should clarify:
Let's say I have a simple ASP.NET webpage composed of (1) a label whose text is an important keyword (2) an input with required field validation and (3) a button that causes validation to occur:
(lblMyInput)
(txtMyInput)
(rfvMyInput)
(btnSubmit)
Now, inside the resource file for this page, we want to localize the strings for the page's controls. However, for our error message, we want to use the literal name of the input's label. This is were my question is.
PSEUDOCODE: myPage.resx
(1) lblMyInput.Text = "Name"
(2) rfvMyInput.ErrorMessage = "The " + lblMyInput.Text + " field may not be left blank."
(3) btnSubmit.Text = "Submit/Validate"
Is there any way to pull off this type of concatenation of one resource file's string into another string within the same file?

I need to implement a centralized form validation framework for my ASP.NET(C#) 3.5 website.
And for this I have tried the following solutions-
[URL]
[URL]
I have added the .dll file in my project's BIN folder and for Matt Gibb's solution I have also added the tagMapping code to web.config file. But for both of the solution, when I ran the project I noticed it doesn't have any effect on the validation controls.

I'm busy working on an ASP.NET Web Application (3.5) and can't seem to connect to a MySQL DB. I first created the entire application using a WinForms template and everything works 100%, but as soon as I move the exact same code to the Web Application, I can't connect anymore. Here's the code:
Code:
public class DBC {
OdbcConnection connection;
public bool CreateConnection() {
try {
string connFormat = "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=[SERVER];Database=[DBNAME];User=[UID];Password=[PWD];";
connFormat = connFormat.Replace("[SERVER]", Properties.Settings.Default.DBServer);
[Code] .....
As soon as I try to create the new OdbcConnection instance, I get the error:
Code: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
As noted this works in a WinForms app, and even more strange is that I don't even specify a DSN name...
All I could find from reading through forums all over the internet is suggestions of downgrading the MySQL ODBC driver version, which I'd really rather not...

I have a form where users can store some data for archived documents. All documents are ONLY in PDF format.
There are 2 things I would like to do:
1. there is a "file path" text box on the form. I would like to open a "browse file dialog" box when user clicks the textbox and then the user browses for the file (file is on the users local machine) and selects it. The full file path should be saved to the textbox as string (e.g. "c:archive2010document11122011.pdf"). Also I would like to "limit" the file browser dialog to only show PDF format files...
2. add a code behind command to open the file from the saved path+name (see 1.) in the user's default PDF viewer (Acrobat or Foxit)

Using TableAdapters I wanted to find an way to get the connection string out of the web.config in production, and override the. . . .
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings
In order to pull a connection string from (a method, a web service, or what ever) just not the web.config.To return a connection string not from the web.config?
I know we can make the connection string of a table adapter public and change it when we access the table. I want one place (the ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings) change to pull the connection string from another method, just not the web.config. I do not keep connection strings in the web.config and would like to override this method.
