Hello,
Could you help me please to solve the prblem with connecting to SQL Server
from .NET development environment?
I have the following error:
"An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When
connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that
under the default setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could nott open a connection to
SQL Server)
Please help. I changed option for remote connections but it doesn't help.

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
I have some SQL CE database .sdf file on my handheld, and I was trying to connect to that file via SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, and it does not work. I am wondering if there is any good tool that I can use on desktop to connect to sqlce .sdf database file on my handheld?
Hi, I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
" Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251 "
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S. I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.
I am having a problem with connecting to SQL Server 2005 database from Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005 (the connection string i am using is: provider=SQLOLEDB;Data source=server_name; Initial catalog=database_name). But the connection failed. Would please any experts here shed me any light on what is the problem and how to fix it then? As there is no any forum for Office Business Scrorecard manager 2005. Therefore I post my thread here as it is related to the connection to SQL Server 2005 database engine, thought here is the best place for this question.
Thank you very in advance for your kind advices and help. And I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
I've used Sql Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003 for a few years. I've started a new position and they have access to Sql Server 2005 Standard and Visual Basic 2005 Express which I'd like to use for a new project. So I installed Sql Server 2005 and then VB 2005 Express on my workstation. I didn't choose the Sql Server option for VB Express because I already had Sql Server 2005 Standard installed with a simple database created. I created a simple vb project that justs connects to the database but I get the following error.
Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. I looked at permissions in the database and it looks ok. I'm the db owner and I'm using Windows Auth. My connection string is
I thought I'd look at the starter kit to get some ideas about what the problem is, but when I started the movie starter kit project, it was upset that I didn't have Sql Server 2005 EXPRESS installed. Yea, but I do have Sql Server 2005 Standard installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I've installed, with default settings, VS 2005 and Server 2005 Express and cannot get VS2005 to connect. This is the error:

I shutdown Server 2005 but that didn't change anything. Any ideas?
I have installed MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition on my Notebook (WinXP Pro SP2). And it's working fine. Then I tried installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1. There is no error during installation and it seems to be working as I can see the SQL Server (MSSQLServer) service is running. As SQL server configulation manager., the protocal shared memory , named Pipes and TCP/IP are enabled.
But when I want to add connection using VWD 2005 by pointing to datasource (MS SQL Server database file and selecing file from .mdf file from SQL sample database file. Then test connection, I got a error that "An error has occurred while establishing a conneciton to the server. when connecting to SQL server 2005, this failure may be casued the the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Interfaces, error: 26- Error locating server/instance specified)
Can you please advise what the missing part of my configulation ?
Hi, I've looked through the search facility and not seen anything discussed for this before, and wonder if someone here has the answer?
I've just setup a new server (Win Server 2003 SE SP1), installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and can connect to it fine locally using Management Studio, but when I try to connecto to it via MS remotely, I get nothing.
I've enabled remote connections, the firewall is set to allow TCP port 1433 through (though even with the firewall off, I get nothing). Just TCP/IP is enabled as a network protocol, but I've tried all others (service doesn't start if trying to use VIA), with all but VIA enabled for Native Client Protocols.
I've fiddled with this for a couple of days now and not got anywhere. If I enable IIS on the server, I can telnet to that fine, so the server is listening on the network fine, but telnet'ing to port 1433 gets no reply.
Am I missing something obvious here? Please help, it's driving me mad!

Hi, I've installed the evaluation version of sql server 2005 and sp2 on my local machine running vista 64 .. .I can see the mssqlserver service running but I don't see any mssqlserver available in management studio.. maybe i have to do something in the configuration manager? i wish these tools were more intuitive, feel like I'm guessing and testing
all, I have the standard edition of SQL Server 2005 installed on a WIN XP Pro machine. I setup file and print sharing with my laptop. What do I need to be able to connect to SQL Server on my WIN XP Pro machine from my laptop. I hope to do most of my developing on my laptop. Do I need the developers edition of SQL server 2005 installed on my laptop?
I can connect to this instance using both oSQL or sqlcmd and can select from the tables within BlueTarp, but my web app won't connect, and I can't figure out why!!
When I installed SQL Express, I used a named instance, called "SQLExpress".
I'm using mixed mode authentication.
One strange thing is that I can connect to either SQLExpress or MSSQLSERVER instances, but they appear to be the same instance -- I can use bluetarp in both.
when I use SQLExpress for instance name in web.config I get "SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
when I use MSSQLServer for instance name in web.config I get "Invalid connection"
And in fiddling with the web.config, I somehow did something to get a machine.config error, something like "machine.config couldn't be loaded because of an unloaded appdomain".
It's driving me nuts because I've spent a good 40 hours on this stupid problem, throwing the whole margin down the toilet.
Hi all. I have a 64 bit Windows 2003 cluster with 4 named instances of SQL Server 2005.
Im unable to connect via ODBC or from applications from Windows Vista to the named instances. There are no problem connecting to default intances.
The ODBC give me a SQL State 08001 error. In the bottom of the error it talks about not allowing remote connections, but the instances allows both TCPIP and named pipes.
The SQL 2005 cluster are running SP2 and Vista have Native Client upgraded to SP2.
One of our database server has upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 version some days ago, but I found the application which could run before cannot work fine now. I have followed some intructions got from other guys, such as replace the old driver with a new version, but it still did not work. Now I have two questions
1. What is the driver implementation class name? I found there were several answers. (I don't use XA connections)
2. What is the data source helper class name?
I suspect that the above questions are the causes. However, please give me some other hints if any.

I have a dts package on SS2000 which loops through connections to a list of databases using activex:
set srv = createobject("SQLDMO.SQLServer") srv.LoginSecure = True set gpkg = DTSGlobalVariables.parent set tserv = gpkg.GlobalVariables ("Server") -- where "Server" contains the name of an instance. srv.Connect(tserv.value)
This works fine when connecting to ss2000 instances, but not with ss2005 instances. How can I connect to ss2005 instances too??? There must be a way! I don't have time to rewrite the package to IS.
I have a problem with connecting to SQL Server 2005. I have a small network at home with a WLAN router connected to Internet. My notebook computer and desktop computer are connected to router. My SQL Server 2005 is installed on notebook computer and Microsoft Server Management Studio is installed on desktop computer. I wanted to add login so I could connect to it from desktop pc and a problem came up. When I tryed to add account (from desktop pc) to local group on notebook pc I couldn't do that becouse there wasn't offered desktop pc as a location. Also, when I try to make connection string in visual studio, i can see sql server but i can not choose database. Is this becouse of router or is it posible to do that only in a real server(domain)?
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and haven't worked with SQL Server for a couple of years. Now it seems I'm getting back into it. I have SQL Express and SQL 2005 installed on an XP sp2 machine with IIS 5.1. I have a C#/ASP.NET web app in Visual Studio 2005 that keeps getting an error on attempting to connect (SqlConnection object). It's a generic error saying a probable cause is SQL Express default setup not allowing remote connections. Remote connections are turned on for both TCP and UDP. I can connect from within a small C# windows application using the same uid and pwd, so I suspect it's something related to IIS talking to SQLExpress. I would appreciate any help on other things to check. I am also fairly new to using IIS in the development environment. Thanks
