When I try to attach an ".mdf" to a project by right clicking on the project name the software looks for an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I alter this behavior to have it look to my full copy of SQL Server 2005 which appears to be working correctly?

thanks in advance!
Hi,
When I try to run the asp.net application (C#) it is throwing the following exception.
"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)"
The problem is I don't have SQL Server 2005 installed in my system. And I am trying to connect a remote SQL 2000 server.
Adding to my confusion, the same code is working fine in another system.
Help please?
HiI recently installed MS SQL Server 2005 Developer Ed. w/ SP2 on my XP... I use VS2005 to create personal websites. I was previously using SQL Server Express, and things worked fine by default settings. I am a beginner to web development and I really don't know anything about SQL Server. I'm guessing it needs to be configured somehow to work with VS, but I have no idea how to do that. I have an existing Web App which uses a database for login functionality, and everytime I try and log on I get this message: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)I made sure that the Server's database engine accepts remote connections but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?~Miro
This post is an extension onto the one below....
Please read my question at the bottom... cheers

Hello all,
I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I would like to know the best way that I can create Sql Server 2005 Express databases visually since VS2005 Std. does not allow me to do it.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,

I'd be interested in knowing how VS doesn't allow you to create a database. What error are you getting?
There are two ways to create databases, depending on your goal:
To just create a database on your server, do the following:
Open the Server Explorer
Right-click on Data Connections
Click Create New SQL Server Database
Specify Server Name and Database Name
Your database will be created and you can start working with it.
Embed a database in your project:
On the Project menu, click Add New Item.
Select SQL Database from the list and give it a name.
Click OK
This will run you thorugh a wizard to create the database.
If your having problems doing either of these, you may not have SQL Server installed on your computer or VS might be pointing to the wrong Instance Name. Check out the Option dialog under Database Tools:ata Connection and verify that the correct instance is specified.

I am trying to create a similar project and I also recieve an error while trying to create a database...
"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 settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could Not Open A Connection to SQL Server."
Now let me explain what i am trying to do ...
I am trying to create a web interface for the data that I want to store in the SQL database. I have installed VS2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 on my local machine. I want to develope this project on my local machine and then transfer it to a server once i have finished the project.
If i am doing this all wrong, please let me know !

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,
My understanding is that at installation of all but the Express edition, there is no choice but to have VS2005 installed as well. If this is true, can VS 2005 at least be uninstalled after a different debugger is enlisted?

Good Evening All,
I've serached this forum and Google'd for a resolution to this issue, to no avail. Here's the scenario:
I'm running VS 2005 on Windows Media Center laptop and need to create ASP.net membership for my web application built using VB. I have SQL Server Developer installed with instance name MSSQLSERVER. Previously, I uninstalled SQL Express and installed Developer edition and can now open and utilize Management Studio.
Now, when I try to create a new SQL Server database in my solution's App_Data directory, I receive the above error. I already changed instance name in VS2005 per Tools-Options-Database Tools-Data Connections to MSSQLSERVER.
Could someone provide me with a list of procedures to ensure proper setup of VS2005 with SQL Server Developer Edition?
Thanks much for your help.
I had SQL Server Express Edition installed. I then uninstalled both it and Visual C#. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition and reinstalled Visual C# -- both on the same machine. I can connect to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio. However, Visual C# is a different story. When I try to add a new Data Connection, it defaults the data source to .SQLEXPRESS, which is no longer on my machine. I can select .MSSQLSERVER, but when I click on either OK or Test Connection, I time out with an error message -- error 25 - Connection string is not valid. The connection string that is shown at the bottom of the Advanced dialog box is -- Data Source=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=E:InventoryDataInventory_Data.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

ok so i have set up SQL server 2005 on a Windows server 2003 machine. I am trying to connect to it via ODBC and/or Visual Studio 2005 on a computer running off the same switch. I have set SQL server to accept remote connections and named pipes as well as had the port unblocked. when i try and connect to it via Vista ODBC wizard or visual studio wizard it says that the server is not there or access is denied.
The server is set up for SQL authentication and i am 100% pos that the username/password i am using is correct. i am at a total loss as to what to do to get my vista machine to talk to that SQL server.
Dear Sir,
We are using VB.NET 2005 (Winform) and the backend SQL Server Express 2005. We would like to connect the Express (.mdf) database from Remote Machine. What type of connection string we have to use?
We tried the following ConnectionString but we got the error:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Server=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFileName=S:MLJData.mdf;Database=MLJData;Trusted_Connection=Yes;
Also suggest what are all the prerequisites to run sql server express 2005 database in client machine.
We did installed the following tools in client machine:
1. .NET framework 2.0
2. sqlncli.msi (SQL Server Native Client Setup)
Please provide us the solution for this.
Thanks

Can someone help me? I have made a website with a database. Local on my pc all work fine. but now i need to set it op on my webhost.

I installed the SQL Server 2005 Trial and am now having trouble connecting. When I bring up the ASP.NET Configuration tool and Go to "Provider configuration" "Select a single provider for all site management data" AspNetSqlProvider Test I get the following message.
"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 have already run the aspnet_regsql command-line utility.
Can anybody give me some information on how to set this up.
I am currently working with the club web site starter kit.
I have a VB.Net Winform application installed at a client’s site using .net 1.0 and sql server 2000. I am in the process of upgrading to them to sql server 2005. The installation of sql server 2005 is on a different machine then the 2000 version. I have installed SQL Server 2005, SP2 and converted the database from SQL Sever 2000. Everything is good at this point. I can even establish a connection through a user’s login.
The Problem is when I try to connect from a client machine using my .net 1.0 application. The client test machine that I am using is a Windows NT Server which may have something to do with the problem. Any way I am getting the following error message.
SSL Security error
From other topics I have read I believe this is something to do with a certificate. The application only needs to connect from within the local network. I have tried connecting using the ODBC Data Sources tool from the client machine I get the following error.
Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.81.9001
Running connectivity tests...
Attempting connection
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SSL Security error
TESTS FAILED!
Should I be using the TCP/IP?
Do I need to install anything on the client machines?
Do I need to open ports on the firewall?
Is there anything else that I am overlooking?
Thanks,
David
Hi guys,
I am new to sql server 2005 and I am having some problems connecting to it. Hope you guys can help!
I have install the sql server management studio express. At the login page, there is one field which is Server name. However, in my studio express that field is empty. I believe that field should have my server name on it but it is empty. Due to the empty field in the server name, I am not able to connect to the server. Did I set up my server wrongly that explains why the server name field is empty???
Thanks

Hi
We are planning to move over to SQL Server 2005 in near future.
At the moment Website is on a seperate server then the Database.
OS for both the server is Window 2003 and currently our data is on SQL
Server 2000(on which everything works fine).
Part of the testing process we tried to connect our website on SQL 2005
and it does not work at all.
I get this
----------------------------------------------------------------
ADODB.Connection error '800a0e7a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
When i use following connection string
"Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=127.0.0.1;Database=dbName;UID=UserName;PWD=UserPassword;"
(Above string has fixed problem for few people- googled it, but not for
me.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the message i get for all the following connectiong string
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied.
1) - "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=UserPassword;Persist Security

I tried connecting to SQL Server 2005 through our system developed in
VB.Net 2003 and it works fine and here is the Connection String :
"Data Source=ServerNameSQLInstance;Initial Catalog=ABC;Persist
Security Info=False;user id=UserName;password=UserPassword"
Then i downloaded SQL Native Client and installed on the web server.
I looked in SAC Tool and "Local and Remote Connection" and "Using Both
TCP/IP and Named Pipes" options are selected. I have checked SQL
Browser service is running.
Now when i use this string
"Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=127.0.0.1;Database=DBName;UID=UserName;PWD=UserPassword;"
i get
Microsoft SQL Native Client error '80040e4d'
Login failed for user 'UserName'.
I have created this user and this user has proper permission to access
the database i need.
I would really appreciate any help as this is driving me crazy.

Hello Everyone,
I have searched the web and this forum relentlessly for past 2 days but I haven't been able to solve the problem.
Here is the description
I work for company X and log on to my computer with my credentials Xme. Now I have the ability to log in into my customers environment using VPN. I can do this by logging in into the customer network by another set of credentials Yme2. (where Y is customers domain and me2 is the id given to me by the customer)
Post this, I am able to ping the customers server.
Now when I use SSMS to connect to sql server, I get the error message"Login failed for user Xme"
Why doesn't SSMS ask me whether I want to use Xme or Yme2 credentials? why doesn't SSMS try with Yme2 credentials? Why does SSMS only use Xme credentials?
I also tried to run SSMS as Yme2 but that also didn't work.
It will be kind if you could let me know how can I specify what credentials should SSMS use.
regards,
Abhishek.
My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website.
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.
According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"...
The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.
The data resides in app_data.
In my webconfig file I have this.
<add name="vau" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|vau.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I understand that there are several different ways to connect and manage information to the database. I think I want to use the behind the codes (.aspx.vb) and on the top of the page I have this. Imports System.Data.
That is where I am stuck. Can you push me in the direction by either explaing to me or post a link that has more information about this.
Thanks.
I have not been able to find any substantive documentation on connecting a DataSource to the database via the IP address of the SQL Server. Does anyone know of a good reference on the topic?

My environment:

I'm about to go absolutely nuts. I've tried so many things including:
1) Of course making sure Remote connections and both TCP/IP and named pipes are enabled for SQL 2005
2) Verified my connection string works. I even tested it in Enterprise Library using the tool and it connects successfully via windows authentication
3) Made sure of course my logged in user is a member of the administrator group and that my user in SQL 2005 logins has db_owner and full rights to the DB I am connecting to. I also made sure the NT AUTHORITY as well as the 3 sql service users have db_owner rights as well as the adminstrator in the SQL Server logins all have db_owner to the DB
4) Started the SQL Server Browser service, SQL Server DB engine, and SQL Server Agent
5) Made sure my site is setup right in IIS 7. I checked the connection string in there as well as it shows up in IIS7 in one of the sections. Using Windows authentication and it is enabled for my site
6) Tried running the .net site using both localhost (IIS) and also tried using the Visual Studio built-in web server. Both give this message still
When I test my connection through Enterprise Library it shows test successful!

Everything is fine locally, but when I copy my files over to my server (have setup a virtual dir, and ensured it is running .net2) I get the following message when trying to connect:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:websitessicknessApp_DataDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I have tried attaching and detaching the database from within SSME on the server - my connection string is:
<connectionStrings> <add name="SicknessConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>
I've tried it with and without the User Instance = True set
Has anyone got an actual fix for this?

I had been using Excel to connect to SQL server. This worked merrily for about 6 months then I had reason to reinstall Visual Studio.
Now I've reinstalled that, my connection between Excel ans SQL Server won't work. I thought the ADO code I had put in my VBA macro would be sufficient to connect, but obviously I need to do something else, but what? Please help!
Do I need to create an ODBC connection in Control Panel? Or something else?
The code is unchanged from before and the VBA project does reference the ADO object Library.

I am having major issues connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express from Visual Basic 2005 Express, which I have tried on multiple PCs but to no avail. Can somebody please explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
1) I install SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Basic 2005 Express (With .NET framework and SQL native client of course)
2) I open SQL Server using Management Studio and going in with windows authentication. It automatically sets the log on name to computernameSQLEXPRESS.
3) I create a new database called Test and add one table to it
4) I go into Visual Basic 2005 and create a new project.
5) I go to the projects application settings (Properties - Settings).
6) I set up a new connection string, choosing SQL server as the conection type and then on the Connection Properties window it asks me to select the mdf file for the database. I choose the file Test.mdf from the directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
7) I click on Test Connection.
When I do this on two out of the three home PCs I get the error:
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf".Operating system error 32: "32 (error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
The third PC gives me a different error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'DAVEDavid'.
I get the same errors when I try to use a connection string inside the code directly. Does anyone have a clue as to why these errors are occuring? Do I need to set up security or something else on the database first, or is there another reason? If anyone can please help me get to the bottom of this or provide a web address where I can get the answer (step by step instructions on how to connect) then I would be most grateful.
I have set up a SQL Server 2005 to use for testing before moving to another production server. The server works fine when I connect to it with a program on the same computer but not when accessed remotely.
I have set it to to allow remote connections and use TCP IP only and have opened TCP port 1433 on the Windows XP firewall and am using the Teredo service on Port UDP 3544 Also the Server Browser service is running. The server is connected directly to the internet on a static IP (eg. 67.156.18.167) I have set the server to Windows authentication.
When I try to connect to the database from a data grid in Visual Studio on another computer it fails.
I am pretty surethat the problem is that I am not giving the correct information when asked to fill in the information for the data source to find the server as I am new to remote connections in SQL Server.
Thanks for any insight
