I'm getting really frustrated with using the web.config to store all database information. It seems like you really don't have any real flexibilty when moving an application from server to server (between dev, test and prod). Seems like you have to create separate config files when you move it every time. Seems like you always run into a risk of over writing one of them if you are not careful.
Is there a good way to design the connection object to be able to tell which server it is on and determine if it's a test, dev or prod type of connection. I have used a basic three connection strings that it will compare the computer name with the key. But again, the connection string is hard coded in the web config. At least this way I am able to move all code together without the worry of overwritting the config file. I just have to beleive there is a better way to build something like this. I've heard of setting up enviroment variables on the server, but not sure how safe that is.
I'm looking everywhere on the web, but get really lame examples. If anyone knows a good method or a sample I can check out, that would be great.
I have the following stored procedure: SELECT SERVER_NAME, SERVICE_PORT, SERVER_NAME + ',' + SERVICE_PORT AS SERVER_AND_PORT FROM DEF_SERVICE_SETTINGS I want the 3rd column to be in format: SERVER_NAME + "," + SERVICE_PORT But SQL gives error. Sees "," as column. How can I fix this?
I have SQL table (tblUsers) and one of the fields holds the email address. I want to step through each record build a multiple email string to send to a lot of people. It would look like this
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
My problem I've been struggling with is the following. I have a set of text files (around 70), each with different column numbers and types. I define Flat File Connection Managers for each of them where I can nicely rename, set data types and omit certain columns. I do this once and this will be the basis for the rest of the data process (would be nice programmatically too actually). I would like to pump each of these text files into SQL Server tables using CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT (because do it one-by-one is really a pain). The question is:
is there a way to obtain column information (Script Task) from a Connection Manager so I can run CREATE TABLE-s? I just need the names, data type for each nothing fancy...
(I bumped into interfaces like IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumns90, which I cannot handle from the Script Task.)
I need to know how I can programmatically set a Flat File Connection Manager's Column Delimiter value.
The Data Warehouse project I am working on, receives daily information feeds that could contain one of two delimiters. Which is just dumb...anyways, as it is now we have two seperate Data Flow Tasks which handle these two delimiters. Currently we have a script taks that "sneak previews" each incoming flat file to determine which delimiter it has, and direct our flow to the correct Data Flow Task to handle it.
I do not want to have to maintain 2 DFTs. How can I get around this problem?
Even if there is a way to do this by passing variables/setting expressions in the Flat File Connection manager, I would do that. Does not necessarily HAVE to be a pure programmatic approach.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?
Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
I am programmatically creating a package in c#. I need this package to contain a flat file connection manager. I have been successfully able to create the connection manager with the following code:
Package p = new Package(); //New package
ConnectionManager cm = p.Connections.Add("FLATFILE"); //Add a flat file connection manager
cm.ConnectionString = "C:DevmyTestFile.txt"; //Set up the connection string
At this point, I want to configure the flat file specific properties of the connection manager (RowDelimiter, HeaderRowDelimiter, etc.). The problem is that the properties collection of the ConnectionManager object is read only. I think I could access the inner object of the connection manager and set the properties in the following way:
ConnectionManagerFlatFileClass ffClass = (ConnectionManagerFlatFileClass) cm.InnerObject; //Get the inner object
ffClass .RowDelimiter = "{LF}"; //Set the properties here Even if this would work, I do not like the solution b/c the BOL states that the ConnectionManagerFlatFileClass "supports the SQL Server 2005 infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code". Does anyone know the "right" way to set these properties? Many thanks in advance! David
I m new to this forum and hope i ll get warm welcome from all of you.... thank you
I m Praveen kumar Dayanithi... a master student doin my assistantship in a Company. Kindly help me with this...
Here is my issue.... i would like to know how can i pass arguments to connection manager programmatically. In other words how can i acquire connection manger through SCRIPT task(Vb script). I know it is very easy to manually select n specify database name, table name by right clicking in dataflow task but in my company if i do that it will be very cumbersome for production people to change all the database and table names manually when the project is moved to production. Rather if i programmatically acquire connection manager using global variables it will make production people's job very easy. They have to just change the value of the variables. So can any one help me with this issue.
Hi,I have a problem, when I want to access to my SQL Server Expressdatabase from my ASP.NET application.My workstation ID is KITOLAP-HPMy username is user01Now I built the following connection String (VB.NET):Dim workstation As String =System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("computername")connectionString = "workstation id=""" & workstation & """;packetsize=4096;user id=user01;integrated security=SSPI;data source=""" &workstation & "SQLExpress"";persist security info=True;initialcatalog=webshop"connection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)Although I put as user id "user01" the application makes an error whenI try to open the connection, saying that the login with user "aspnet"failed.How can I change it so that as login-user "user01" is taken and not"aspnet" or otherwise, how can I create a new user in the SQL Serverdatabase with which I could access the DB??thanks,kito
I have a table with embedded files in it and also ftp server/user/pwd fields so that each record has all the data and information required and need to configure an SSIS package to to FTP them to the destination as specified in the record within the databaseAt the moment I have a data flow task which uses a Derived Column and an Export Column transformation which creates the files to a temp folder then it runs a ForEach loop container back on the control flow to FTP each file and to then move each file to an archive folder.
All I think I need to know how to do is to somehow control the FTP connection settings with the fields from the database within this foreach loop, but it is a for each file collection. I also need to update each record saying it has been FTP'd as well Do I need to have an initial query outside of this foreach loop to populate an array which can be used for the 4 FTP connection fields (server/user/pwd/directory), if so how?
Any ideas as to how to correctly finish this package.
we have automated build on every night. In our solution is SSIS project, where each package is encrypted per password. We call build process per command line like this..
C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (c:DevelopmentX3\X3.sln /build Release)' in 'c:DevelopmentProjectsDailyBuild
Through build process we get a error:
External Program Failed: C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (return code was 1):
We think a reason is, that on build of SSIS project must be entered a password. You can wonder for what we need that SSIS packages are part of our build. We hope that on build process is also created Deployment Utility, if so set in dtproject.user. Is it so? Is there any way to create Deployment utility on automated build process? Can be a password provided pre command line?
Hi, I'm having a BIG problem, this is my 3rd day looking for answer !I'm trying to create a custom membership provider with MS SQL database 2005 but not the default ASPNETDB.

I am using sqljdbc41.jar to connect with MSSQL database, it is working fine on my local machine.Where as on the remote server, same class giving me error
Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>' My connection string is URL...
I am using sqljdbc41.jar and on 64 bit processor , I am using following command which included path for sqljdbc_auth.dll java -Djava.library.path= C: sqljdbc_4.1enuauthx64 TestDao and error is Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>' why it is not picking up username passed in connection string. I have 2 machines, one is local and other is remote. on both machine I login using my domain, it is working absolutely fine on local then why the error is coming on remote machine.Both the machines are identical.
I have been trying to host my website on Go Daddy for about 3 weeks and I have cleared several problems but this one remains. I can get into the ASPNETDB database for doing logins , etc but I cant access my database called "PINEmgt". To try to understand where the problem is located,I built a very simple application without login controls and put on it one Detailform accessing a single line table "Signin". I continually get the error message I got with my real app :"The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. " There is only one connection string in my app -'PINEMgtConnectionString2'. When I run the app locally on my machine it works. After I move everything to Go Daddy, I get the error message and the following dump"
Line 24: </Fields> Line 25: </aspetailsView> Line 26: <aspqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStringsINEMgtConnectionString2 %>" Line 27: InsertCommand="INSERT INTO Signup(first_name, last_name, email, customer_id) VALUES (,,,)" Line 28: SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Signup]"></aspqlDataSource>
This is indeed the code from my single page app.
The dump is:
[InvalidOperationException: The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.] System.Web.Compilation.ConnectionStringsExpressionBuilder.GetConnectionString(String connectionStringName) +3039085 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlSqlDataSource1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:26 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlform1() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:10 ASP.default_aspx.__BuildControlTree(default_aspx __ctrl) in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx:1 ASP.default_aspx.FrameworkInitialize() in d:hostinguck7scoutDefault.aspx.vb:912306 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +40 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest() +86 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestWithNoAssert(HttpContext context) +18 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +49 ASP.default_aspx.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +29 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +303 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64
After Googleing, asking Go Daddy for info (which they dont give) , etc for three weeks, I need serious mental help in the form of a solution of this problem. Your help with the problem or the name of a good mental health professional in eastern N.C. (maybe both) would be appreciated.
I have seen another thread with this same problem, but the problem seemed to be a typo. I am getting an error when I try to access the web site ..

I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
This is the first time I have used SSIS, so please bear with the ignorance.
I have a super simple package that inserts x000's of rows into a temporary table. The data source is a file that the user will upload. I need to be able to tell the package what file to upload. I'm thinking the simplest thing would be to edit the connectionString property of the SourceConnectionFlatFile at runtime. Is this possible? What form should the file path be in (UNC, other)? And, are there any other considerations I should be aware of?
I hope that I am just missing a step in the process somewhere. I have established a string variable called DatabaseServer and another called DatabaseName. In the OLE DB connectionstring expression I have the following:
My understanding is that changing the variable from SERVERA to SERVERB should repoint the connection. (Test to pre-production to production in my current promotion environment.) This should also take effect in any dataflow task using the database connection above right? When I try to repoint the server variable (and only the server variable) I am either a.)throwing errors saying the original connection cannot be found in the data flow task, or b.)the job appears to be processing fine, but the repoint did not take place and data is still flowing to the original server.
Can anyone offer suggestions as to what I am missing?
The properties values in the DB connection:
ConnectionManagerType is OLEDB
DataSourceID is blank
DelayValidation is False (Setting to true changes nothing in my test)
Expression for ConnectionString is (see above)
RetainSameConnection is False
SupportsDTCTTransactions is True (and appears to be unchangeable.)
Hi, I need your help!!!!!!!!!! Ii'm running the application using the sql SDK version , i'm having trouble openning the connection. my connection string is: strConnect="data source=DEFAULT_WINXP\VSDOTNET;initial catalog=try1;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=True;workstation id=DEFAULT_WINXP;packet size=4096"; and i get an exception: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'DEFAULT_WINXPASPNET'. this is my code:

I'm new to VS 2005 I'm using the following code for connection <add key="dsnstring" value="persist Security info=False; User ID=; password=;Initial Catalog=TransMate1; Data Source=Localhost trusted_connection=yes" /> it is giving the error as 'Cann't do the connection since user id cann't be null It is not exact words of the error message. following code is working fine with the SQL Server 2003 but not with SQL Server 2005. <add key="dsnstring" value="persist Security info=False; User ID=sa; password=dreams;Initial Catalog=TransMate; Data Source=Localhost" />
I have made an app (the first one) and im trying to find the right connection string to the database. Im using sqlexpress on my local computer, and my host uses MSSQL, can anyone tell me what the connection string could
I want's to use following connection string "dsn=MyDsn;uid=MyUser;pwd=MyPassword" Can some how I use it with sqlconnection I want's to get rid of odbconnection e.t.c What will be the connection string for sql provider for above dsn information. If anybody can explain the please help me ?
An error has occurred 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 settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) ive got this error and i think its about connection string, help please, can somebody show me how to fix this, obviously im a newbie and this my first time to use .net. thanks!
hi, i was just wondering what's wrong with my code. i have class library to handle all the classes of my asp.net project. when im compiling a class, i am getting an error "Error 1 The name 'ConfigurationManager' does not exist in the current context " . i have this code for that error message: string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnString"].ConnectionString; im not sure about this because im new in asp.net. am i missing a reference here?if yes, what namespace should i include? by the way, i tested this directly in my asp.net age and it is working fine. when i use visual c#.net, that's where the error prompts me, and i cant build that class library.
hi, ok im not sure if this is in the right forum, so sorry if its not. basicly, before i optained a licence for SQL Server 2005 Dev i was using SQL Server 2005 Express. now in IIS iv found the following entery in Connect Strings data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true basicly, what i want to know is do i need this entery, and if so, do i need to edit it? thanks
I am using Dreamweaver 8 on Windows XP. I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2005. My connection string isn't right. I ran the OBDC test and it works so I know its the connection string. My webpages give me the error that the server does not exist or access denied. When I use anything else like SQLNCLI.1 for the provider it gives me the error that the provider is not found. What should the connection string consist of and what should I use for Provider? MYCONN_Conn ="Provider= SQLOLEDB;Data Source=sql2005.loc.mss.edu;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=OPENAssessment;" Thanks in advance.
Hi , I've been searching for this answer for a few hours now but unfortunately I still can not sort it. I'm attempting to make a "Database Driven Hierarchical Menu" from this tutorial http://aspalliance.com/822 It explains in the tutorial that you must change the connection string to point to your database and add user name and password. (i dont have a user name or password for my local server, or atleast I dont think I do!) Below is my connection string:DataSet ds = new DataSet(); string connStr = "server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=true;database=Product.mdf";using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStr)) {string sql = "Select MenuID, Text, Description, ParentID from Menu";SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, conn); da.Fill(ds); da.Dispose();
Every time I try to run the page I get this error. Cannot open database requested in login 'Product.mdf'. Login fails.Login failed for user '*****' Can anyone see where I'm going wrong? I'm quite new to all this so I apologies if this seems a bit stupid. Many Thanks
