Error - The Specified Named Connection Is Either Not Found In The Configuration...
Oct 5, 2010
I have a solution in Visual Studio 2008 with 3 projects. One Web Application and 2 class libraries. The entity framework model is in a class library and the start project is the web application.
I used to have this problem:
"The specified named connection is either not found in the configuration, not intended to be used with the EntityClient provider, or not valid."
I fixed it copying the connection string from the App.config of the class library where the entity model is located to the web.config of my web application (start project).
I found that workaround posted here:

how can i avoid using the connection string from the web.config and use the one from the app.config where the entity model is located?
I've ran into a weird issue when ever I deploy to my winhost account and try to login using membership provider it works fine locally but once it's on the intarnets it breaks.

Parser Error Message: The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.
I have a fairly big ASP.NET 3.5 website that refuses to open any page via the 'View in Browser' option of VS2010, i.e. the LocalHost facility does not work. All I get is a 'File Not Found' error.
Two other ASP.NET 4.0 sites (which are much simpler and do not have any SQL Server connections) can be viewed without any problem via the LocalHost service.
I am developing an application which is running fine on local machine. It is using webservices and jquery's ajax to call that service. It also has some asp hidden fields. I deploy it with visual studio. It is giving me error that the resource I am looking for is not found.
In my website users can create thier own websites by making folder of thier choice like: [URL] Where the folders Pankaj and Adam are storing in database. I just want that when user after creting thier website just clicked or type the address of thier website as [URL] then if the folder with name Pankaj exists in database then the page will open otherwise it gives the http 404 page not found error. And while the address [URL] is opens then i donot want to physically create it on server. My requirement is that i want to open it by the concept of url rewriting/ Routing. Which one concept will be good for this. And can anyone provide some code with example that how can i achieve this easily.

Not sure why it works if i connect to SQL 2005 on another server, but now that i have SQL Express on the same server as the pages, im getting the following error: I have attached my connection string within my web.config and also how its being called within the code behind. Now this page was written by another programmer some time back.. so not sure if the method he used to do this is the best or only way. But i have connected to other SQL database with other applications with alot less code.
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.

I've just setup a new site on my IIS6 and I'm experiencing the following problem:
I can run normal HTML pages, but no .aspx files. If I call the aspx page directly I get a 404 - file not found - error message. This only happens with .aspx files.
I have sql server 2008 express edition. I'm trying to use the wsat to set up the provider but I keep getting the error:
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
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.
In an article I have read "A web browser can be named as proxy server. As safari, chrome, mozilla".But proxy server is like a an intermediatary btween the clent and server know?
In an obviously misguided effort to keep versions of a site built through vs2010 .aspx vb I copied the entire visual studio 2010 folder from its default location on my local pc to a folder on a network. I then opened the network folder version of the project in VS, made a small change to some text, built the site sucessfully and published the site sucessfully to the same place the original site was published to. However, when I try to access the site I get the "resouce cannot be found" error. In a bit of a panic I opened the original project in VS and published it...no problem the site comes up. What am I doing wrong?
Ok...I am on my local developement machine.....my website and sql server are hosted else where. All I am trying to do is connect to my database from my visual studio 2010. I have attached the screen shot of my error. All I did was do a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate on my machine....install visual studio 2010 and go to work........and i get this error.
