I am a beginner on using SQL Server Express. I have two different questions. Here is the first:
I've developed a simple C# application in Visual Studio 2005 that connects to a SQL Server database file. In the application I connect to the database using this connection string:
This is the error message I get when I try to open the database
The file \myserverDatabasesmyDatabase.mdf is on a network path that is not supported for database files.An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file \myServerDatabasesmyDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
Both computer runs Windows XP SP2.
My second question is:
When I deployed my solution to my production PC(witch also runs Windows XP SP2, .NET Framwork 2.0 is installed on the computer) .When I then tried to run the application I did get this error message
An error has occured when establishing a connection to the server. When connection to a SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remomte conections.....
Appearently I cant treat SQL Server database files in the same way as Access-files, or?
Hello, we have the hosting account with GoDaddy Server. We have using Visualstudio.net and MSSSQL Server 2005. For hosting the files for the remote server ( Godaddy ) we are using FTP Cute client to upload the files. For Uploading a database they given a seperate login and we are hosted my data as a Transact SQL File. Up to this its going fine. After that I want to retrieve my data from GoDaddy Database server. They are not allow the remote connections directly. But they told to use the File DSN to retrieve the data from thier server ( GoDaddy Server ). I don't Know how to use thier File DSN to connect My ASP.Net 2.0 Application to thier GoDaddy Database Server. If I asked to GoDaddy Support team they are sending this file.
Connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server Database Using ASP/ADO
I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.
Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).
Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.
Unfortunately I was sent to this product by my Hosting Site since all I was trying to do was Create and Manage a User Login with authentication to my subsites in MS Frontpage. (rant: Why doesn't Frontpage support this technology???)
Anyway, I have now spent (wasted?) 8 hours downloading, installing, and tyring to configure SQL Express along with MS Visual Web Developer Express for ASP.NET 2.0 ... For the life of me I can't find detailed configuration informatin and setup information to build a SIMPLE database to connect to the VW product. Folk: this HAS to be simpler to do than what you present in the product! This is way too difficult to deal with compare with frontpage.
Is there a simple "how to" link someplace that is specific enough to preclude me from uninstalling this entire suite ????

I recently created a program that connects to a Microsoft SQL database that was stored on my computer and it worked fine. As soon as I tried to connect to the same database via a network drive I got an error stating that "The file Y:Filename.mdf is on a network path that is not supported for database files.". I can't seem to get it to work, if anybody has any ideas what I'm doing wrong I would appreciate your help.
Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET. I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page. Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer. Cheers ~ J
Can anyone please teach me how to make a connection between jsp file and Microsoft SQL Server database steps by steps?
I'm using Windows XP and I found that my computer do not have JDBC (I already have ODBC). Is this mean that I have to install some JDBC or SQL driver in order to make the connection? Which driver should I install and where can I get the driver?
If possible, please show me some example so that I can understand better..Thanks a lot.
All -- Please help. Is it possible to connect to MDF file without having SQL Server 2005 Express installed on the machine? That is-- can one connect directly to an MDF in the same way and Access MDB file can be used? If no, then is there any way around this? If yes, then are there any limitations? Please advise. Thank you. -- Mark Kamoski
Hi, I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error. Here is the error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) Here is the Environment: App Server: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Inside Company's Firewall/ Network Database Server: Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition SQL Server 2000 SP4 Remote Connections to the Server is checked Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433) The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address. I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server). I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP? What do I tell the network admin to change? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Oran
Our SAP Sql server is on a cloud. I am currently able to access the SQL server from Remote Desktop Connection. I would like to know if I can connect to the Database server without the remote desktop.
Basically I am trying to develop Access Database queries on local computer and I want to pull the data from Remote Server. There is a firewall that is blocking the external ip address.
I would like to know if there is a workaround to set up the connection to first access the "Remote desktop" link and then the SQL server.

VB.NET. I'm getting this error: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I don't have a username and a password setup for my server connection. I tried changing the Security properties to Windows & SQL and Windows authenciation and I'm still getting this error. Am I suppose to set up a username and password for my server? If so how? Thanks
Also a quick side question, how do I make the primary key auto increment through Enterprise Manager?
I am trying out a simple ASP.NET application which includes access to an SQL Server Database. It works fine on my local machine when I connect to the SQL Server and use SQL commands (via C#) to access it. But my web hosting provider uses ODBC drivers for database access (they support the SQL database type). I would like to find out how I should connect to my SQL Server database and program the access in order for it to be ODBC compatible, so that I can deploy it to my web hosting server. I should also mention that I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition. Thanks for any help or pointers. Kumar

Hi, I am working through "Sams Teach Yourself ASP Dot NET 2.0 in 24 Hours" I am upto hour 20 where it says Configuring an ASP.NET Website to Support Membership To configure our website to support membership, we must launch the ASP.NET Website Administration Tool. To accomplish this, either click the ASP.NET Configuration icon at the top of the Solution Explorer or click the Website menu's ASP.NET Configuration option. Either way will open a web browser pointed to a page through which the ASP.NET site can be configured. Figure 20.1 shows the ASP.NET Website Administration Tool. To add user account support, click the Security link. This will take you to the Security screen shown in Figure 20.2. From this screen, you can specify the user accounts in your system, what roles for users exist, and the access rules for users. However when I click security I get the following error message; "There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store." "The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database." If I test the provider I get this error; "Provider Management""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 am using MS VWD Express with MS SQL Express. I have run the 'aspnet_regsql' tool on my database which the book fails to mention and verified that the tables were created correctly. I have tried copying the MDF file directly into my 'app_data' directory but this made no difference. I have googled these errors and nothing seems to help. I can connect to the database through a 'SqlDataSource' and have had no trouble with the database in the previous sections of the book. I think it may have something to do with how I setup SQL Express or database permissions, I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

The above was what I get whenever I tried connecting to SQL Server database. I've got Windows XP Pro SP2, IIS 5.1, and is currently using Visual Web Developer.
How do I rectify my problem of connecting to an SQL Server?
Is there a way to connect to another server in a TSQL script. I would assume that there would be but, I must be missing it somewhere. I found the ESQL CONNECT TO function but, can't seem to get that working either. Any help (even telling me it's not possible) would be appreciated.

I recently installed VS2005 Prof edition and SQLExpress 2005 and have been teaching myself C# using the book
Microsoft Visual C# 2005 step by step.

After opening the tool and clicking on "security" the error message appears.
Unable to connect to SQL server database
As I understand it a database provider AspNetSqlProvider is supposed to create a database called ASPNET.MDF in the App_Data folder of the web site. Needless to say nothing is produced.
I have read various posts and done the following without success.
1 explicitly stated servr.exe as an exception in windows firewall
2 Run Aspnet_regsql at the command prompt. It bombs when I try to put a database name into the list box or even just click on the list box to see what it reveals. ( unfortunately I do not have the exact error but it sugested that it did not have read/write access to something
I do not really understand this . I am just an old fashioned amateur C++ programmer who thought he better get into the new world!
