I am fairly new to ASP.NET and MSSQL but when I run my website with memberships and roles everything seems to work perfectly!! NO PROBLEMS!! However when I try to go and actually open the ASPNETDB.MDF database file that was automatically created by VB when I added a login and sign up panel I get this Error Message
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsoxMy DocumentsMy Webs nsApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I don't really know why I can't open this file. I have someone who is going to help with some extra database work but asked if I could open this database so he could see the structure of it. I have a copy of the website as backup in another folder on my computer but even removing that backup does nothing in helping open the original. THANKS PLEASE HELP!
I am getting the error: Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed. When I browse to my ASP.NET 3.5 LINQ web application on the IIS 6.0 server on Server 2003. I imagine this is because while I granted SQL Server 2005 login and permissions to my database that the application stores its data in, I did NOT grant any rights to the service account the IIS Application Pool uses for its identity to the aspnetdb database on SQL Server which is where all my roles information is stored at. My question is what are the MINIMUM permissions needed for this database so it can perform its roles related functions? I'm using Windows Authentications with the SQL Role provider for authorization.
Thank you.
EDIT: I think I only need to open the aspnetdb database and add my login to the aspnet_Roles_FullAccess role. Is that correct?
Hello everybody, I am working with SqlExpress and MSSQL Server Management Studio Express and do not manage to open the aspnetDB .mdf database in which I am storing all data about my users.I woulds like to open it and to be able to request it in order to check some strange things.Actually, I'm experiencing an isssue with that database since the request just below gives me two results for only one user: SELECT Member.Password, Member.PasswordAnswer FROM aspnet_MemberShip Member, aspnet_Users Users WHERE Member.UserId=Users.UserId AND Users.UserName='Admin' Using this request returns me a user whom password is clear and an identical user whom password is hashed whereas I set PasswordFormat="Clear" in my Web.ConfigCould you explain me how I may proceed please? Thanx for your help
Hi everyone, i have already created posts about this problem and im aware theres millions of replys, but i still cant get this to work and its driving me mad. The posts i have seen i dont understand? Im using the standard ASPNETDB Database, i have never opened up SQL Server Management studio, although i do have the express edition. i have tried everything and i am totally stumped as to what to do. Heres my web.config. It works in VWD 2005 Express, but not in WWWROOT or on webserver? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Can someone help me!!!!!!!!! Dan :) <?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"> <appSettings/> <connectionStrings> <add name="northwindsConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdb;Persist Security Info=True" providerName="System.Data.OleDb" /> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <profile> <properties> <add name="FullName" defaultValue=""/> </properties> </profile> <roleManager enabled="true" />
I have a database which was automatically created in VWD (final release version). I want to design this database using the Management Studio software. How can I access the database from this tool? I am able to connect to the sql server running on my machine however the database created for the website is not listed there.
I just spent the better par of 3 days creating a prototype in ASP.Net 2.0 and SQL Server Express only to discover that nobody from outside can see it... ERROR with impersonation=true User does not have permission to perform this action. ERROR with impersonation=false Unable to open the physical file "c:inetpubwwwroot------.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:inetpubwwwroot-----.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. What makes this so difficult? What am I missing?
Hi, I just installed Visual web developper 2008 express with all options including SQL srvr express 2005!
This is from default iso image on the official website.
I create my first project and when I want to do ASP.NET configuration from web site menu, i got this error:
"Cannot open database "aspnetdb" requested by the login. The login failed."
I am just trying to learn here so i even did not create any dB or something, it is 1st time I run configuration to add security roles and users for testing!
I also un-installed all and re-installed, still the same...
I need to rename this db and be able to set a path to it. This is because my webhost places all SQL databases on a seperate drive. This is a shared drive with alot of other databases. There fore my ASPNETDB.MDF needs to be renamed and have a path assigned. This doesnt seem tro be taken care of in my web.config file? Can some one help in reasigning the default database name and pathway. my other databases were pretty straight forward. Thanks
Hello, I read the section related to membeship in the documentation and I have noticed that the aspnetdb.mdf file was generated on the fly. But how can I then exploit this file ? I have tried to access and create a new database with SqlServer 2005 Express but it didn't work. I manage it with the Database explorer of VWD 2005 Express, but why isn't it posssible with other database administration tools ? Thanks a lot.
Hi all!I have some problems with asp.net windows authentication.Asp made the file ASPNETDB.MDF. But I dont have SQL Server on the machine where the application will be deployed...So I have to move this file to another server, but I couldnt find any information about ASPNETDB.MDF connection string or somenthing like this.Is it possible to move this file or I have to make the authentication on my own, with my own database? I hope there is a solution to this problem!Many thanks! Regards!
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, SQL Server 2005 and using the local file system as opposed to IIS for development purposes. I will reference two pages of my site: one that manages Types of Tours and one that downloads a Tour Registration Excel file. On the Tour Types page, there is a sqldatasource that populates a DetailsView whose default mode is Insert. On that same page I have a GridView that is populated from the same sqldatasource. The gridview has Paging, Editing and Deleting enabled. There is no code behind on this page except for a prompt to the user to confirm the delete action if he has elected to delete a Tour Type. This page works fine no problems. On the download page, I have a prompt that allows the user to click a button to download the Tour Registration Excel file. The code behind opens the Registration table in the ASPNETDB.mdf database, builds an .xls file via a streamwriter and prompts the user to download the file. My problem: if I start up VWD, go into my project, go straight to the download page without accessing any other pages, the download page works fine. If I access any other pages first and then go to the download page, I get the error "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Unable to open the physical file "C:....App_DataASPNETDB.MDF". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." My simplified code behind is this: Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriterDim myConn As Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, query As String, myCommand As Data.SqlClient.SqlCommandDim myReader As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReaderDim fileName As String, baseDirectory As String, fullFileName As String fullFileName = baseDirectory & fileNamesw = New IO.StreamWriter(fullFileName)myConn = New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=true;AttachDbFileName=C:<pathnamehere>App_DataASPNETDB.mdf;database=ASPNET;Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS")query = "SELECT Registrations.RegistrationNum, Registrations.Title, Registrations.LastName, Registrations.FirstName, Registrations.Organization, Registrations.StreetAddr1, Registrations.StreetAddr2, Registrations.City, Registrations.State, Registrations.Zip, Registrations.WorkPhone, Registrations.HomePhone, Registrations.CellPhone, Registrations.email, Registrations.AddToMailingList, Registrations.NumberInParty, Registrations.Comments, Registrations.DateRegistered, Registrations.TourDate, Registrations.TourFormattedTime, TourTypes.TourTypeDescr FROM Registrations INNER JOIN TourTypes ON Registrations.TourTypeNum = TourTypes.TourTypeNum" myCommand = New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(query, myConn)myConn.Open()As soon as the code his the myConn.Open(), it abends with the above message. I then have to close the project, and stop and re-start SQL Server. HELP!!

For MS Press Book, ADO.NET 2.0 Step by Step, 2005 Edition by Rebecco Riordan, installing the code samples created a ConfigDB.exe file under SampleDBs folder. Running this exe file created a AdoStepByStep into the Database folder in SQL Server 2005 Express.
However, for ASP.NET 2.0 Step by Step, 2005 Edition, by George Shepherd, there is no Config.exe to install the ASPNETDB SQL Server 2005 Express database. I right clicked the Database folder to 'Attach' the database. But, the database just showed a 'c: ASPNETDB.MDF filfe path as a name. Further, running the aspx files in Chapters 7 and 12 showed a 'Timeout Expired' error msg, indicating something wrong with accessing the SQL Server database.
How can I run the aspx files in Chapters 7 and 12? How can I install the ASPNETDB?
I am running my package in sql server 2012, in which i am giving network path for flat file destination. And its working fine. But if i give m local path, its giving me  error " cannot open data file" ...
I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Unable to open the physical mdf file or log file because it is being used by another process
I am trying to write a Windows Application using ASP.NET 2.0, C#2005 EXPRESS, and SQL 2005 EXPRESS.
I had followed the introductory video to create a connection to the Database using Windows Authentication, and use the wizard to create a dataset and checking all the tables in the database.
After that I dragged a table from the data source created from the above process. The Details Grid so created is able to perform update, delete and addition of records.
But when I went back to the database at my PC I wasn€™t able to connect to the database. And if I opened the database first and then load the windows application and perform some database operations and went back to the physical database I wasn€™t able to open the tables in the database.
The error message is that the physical database connection cannot open the .mdf file or log file because another process is using the database. I guess it refers to the Windows Application.
Is this normal? Will it have any implications after the application is deployed? I suppose that there isn€™t a scenario where a Windows application and a physical process will access the database at the same time.
Will appreciate some feedback and advice on this scenario and whether it is a problem.
I was given a dts file to look at based on the Northwinds DB. The file was not password protected and comes from a SQL Server Configured exactly like mine. Is there a way to open this file in the DTS design window? I could not find anything in BOL or help. Thanks
I want to start by saying I know virtually nothing about SQL Server.
I work for a website and have an old database of ours. It was exported in Sql Server 2008. It has 3 files an mdf file, a secondary data file, and a transaction log file.
When I try to attach I get an error, and the error is 5173 stating "One or more files do not match the primary file or the database." I have looked at the top 20 results for this error in a Google search and have found nothing. I just want to get in and look at some of the data, run a few basic queries.
On the Sql Peformance Monitor, I have scheduled a log to give me memory and perfomance of my server and I store the results in .csv file every hour and it works perfect.
Here comes the problem when I make a DTS to take data from .csv to Sql, my problem is, I get this error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Basically it tells me that I have to close the file before I can run my DTS.
I dont want close this file manually and run my DTS afterwards, I want my DTS to do this automatically since I won't have access to that server when I am finished as I am going off from the clients premises when I am finished

We are using VS 2005 with SQL Server Mobile Edition. We created the .sdf file on the desktop and added this file to our VS project and set the Build Action to content. Next we deployed our app on Symbol PDA which has Windows CE 5.0 as the OS. We followed the following steps:
We now tried to double-click the .sdf file in PDA to open in QA3 but we get error.: Error: 0x80004005 E_FAIL Native Error (0) Description: Interface defining error: IID_IDBInitialize Param. 0:0 Param. 1:0 Param. 2:0 Param. 3: Param. 4: Param. 5:
What could be the issue?
Because of this, we unable to run the app since in our login form, this database is not available and hence we cannot proceed.
Has anyone tried Open File Manager to backup SQL 7? I'm in the middle of an evaluation (and all is going well), so I wanted to get other's opinions before I purchase.
I tried their 5.x product a year ago, and it didn't work. But V6 has been just what they toted (it worked, no questions asked).
Thanks, Charles Backup Integration Manager CDW Reseller

hey I am just trying a simple query of an Excel file.
Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:MyFile.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')
and i am getting this error
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.].
I know for a fact that the path is correct and that it is the path of the server. So what is the problem with this??
