Web Forms :: Dynamically Connect To Multiple Databases At Runtime By Changing Connection String?
Nov 14, 2013
i have a dropdownlist contaning years..now i want to connect my database by dropdown selection.if i select 2013 it will connect 2013 database ,if i select 2014 it connect 2014 so on..
I have a query which gets values from two tables which are in different databases.How can I write a SINGLE Connection String which connects to two databases? By the way I am using SQL Server Database
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.
Does anyone has an idea on how to change the connection string of the webparts at runtime. i have a multitenant app, and would like to store each accounts users settings in their respective DB's i tried changing the connstring in the webpartsmanager init, and the page load event
Dim myConfiguration As System.Configuration.Configuration = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~")
My problem is i need to update only the database name in current connection string in web.config at runtime....
this is the sample code .. to update connection string . but it updates the name of connection string i need to change the database name of connection string !
public static void UpdateConnection(string name, string connString) { var webConfig = new ExeConfigurationFileMap { ExeConfigFilename = GlobalSettings.FullpathToRoot + "web.config" };
be it's a wrong place to ask the following question. Sorry for that. Our hosting provider has recently upgraded their database server from Sql Server 2005 to 2008 and I'm getting errors to connect with remote server from my development machine. Error Message "Invalid connection". Tried to find solution on net but couldn't find it.I'm using .Net 1.1. Though we've updated versions 2.0,3.5 & 4.0 but due to some certain circumstances I've no way to update it. It's a web based project. The following connection string works fine for Sql Server 2000 & 2005 but not for 2008.<add key="ConnectionString" value="Data Source=Remote Server's domain name;Initial Catalog=database name;User ID=user name;Password=surround;Persist Security Info=True;Pooling=false;Connect Timeout=45;" />Here Remote Server's domain name indicates to remote db server like: test.mysite4now.comdatabase name for example: test_surrounduser name like test_surroundpassword: surround.Can anyone inform me what's wrong with the above connection string to connect to Sql Server 2008.
I'm a web developer and I work primarily in Django -- I've never used ASP.Net or anything like that before, but I'm troubleshooting a problem for a friend's parents / client so I need some advice!
It's pretty simple: I need to change the parameters of their SQL Server database connection because of some server upgrades that happened at their hosting company -- is it ok for me to go in and just edit a .cs file, or does it need to be compiled or some other business?
Literally just need to change the parameters of
mySqlConn = new SqlConnection("server=hostname;database=dbname;uid=username;pwd=password;");
Brief introduction:I have this ASP.NET Webforms site with the particularity that it doesn't have only 1 database, it has many.Why? Because you can create new "instances" of the site on-the-fly. Every "instance" share the same codebase, but has its own database. These all databases have the same schema (structure) but of course different data. Don't ask 'why don't you put everything in one database and use InstanceId to know which is" because it's a business policy thing.
The application knows which instance is being requested because of the url. There is one extra database to accomplish this (I do know its connection string in design time). This database has only 2 tables and associates urls to 'application instances'. Then, of course, each 'application instance' has its associated connection string.
Current situation: There is nothing being used right now to help us with the job of mantaining every instance database in sync (propagating schema changes to every one). So we are doing it by hand, which of course it's a total mess.
Question: I'd like to use a rails-migration way to handle schema changes, preferably migratordotnet, but could use any other if it's easier to setup.The problem is that migratordotnet needs the connnection string to be declare in the proj.build file and I don't know them until runtime. What it would be REALLY useful is some kind of method running on *Application_Start* that applies the latest migration to every database.How could this be done with migratordotnet or any similar?
I want to know if I develop and application using entity framework 4.0 and sql server and then changing the connection string to my sql one, will it work without any problem?
What are the other considerations to keep in mind?
I am connecting to Oracle database from .net using OLEDB.
My Connection string :
[Code]....
I am using above ConnectionString to communicate with database. To make it work, I have to store password (don't want to do that) in session and use it every time I need to talk to db.
1) Is there any other connection string without username and password with oledb?
2) I use "Integrated Security" for MSSQL. How can I use the same with OLEDB - Oracle database?
I am trying to write a page to read the Excel file provided by the user. I know I can't use the FileUpload to get the full path of the file from the client PC. This give me the problem when I write the connection string for the Excel file:
[Code]....
Without the full path, I can't replace the Data Source by a variable and I definitely can't assume all users will have their Excel files named Book1.xls located in C:Doc all the time.
I only made 1 other dynamic page before, without users. I do remember I setup a read-only user to the database and that was the user used in the connection string, simple.
In managing multiple users, does asp.net's membership & roles automatically switch up the databases connection string upon login? Do you setup hypothetical "groups" of user access permissions in your database (mysql) then associate that user to that group in membership & roles?
I'm just looking for a general idea of what to expect before I start reading.
Up until now I only needed one connection string since I had only one database but this has changed since I want some users to connect to database A and others to database B What would be the correct way to go about it?
