How To Change From SQL Server Express To Database.mdf Connection
Apr 29, 2006
Hi,
I've created a SQL Server Express Database that is used by an ASP.NET 2.0 application (developed using VWD Express).
I would like to be able to:
Make changes to stored procedures, views and table structures while developing/testing ASP.NET application - which, ideally, needs a SQL Server Manager Studio Express connection and
Upload my application and data to a database on a network - which, ideally, needs a direct Database.mdf connection.
I know that I need to change my connection string - and am able to achieve that with ease - but I'm not sure what the best way of switching between the two ways of attaching on the database side. I keep getting logon type problems etc.
Thanks very much.
Regards
Gary

Hi, all. I am using VS.NET 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express. I tried to use the following code to connect to a database named "AMSPROD" that I attached to SQL Server 2005 Express:
dbConn = new OleDbConnection(Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAMSPROD_Data.MDF";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True);
dbConn.Open();
I got an error asking for provider with the above connection string, then I changed the conncection string to be like follows:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAMSPROD_Data.MDF";Provider=SQLNCLI;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
I got error: No error message available, result code: DB_E_ERRORSOCCURRED(0x80040E21)
Then I changed the Provider to be like: Provider=SQLOLEDB, now I am getting the following error:
Message: "Invalid authorization specification
Invalid connection string attribute"
Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client"
StackTrace: " at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionInternal..ctor(OleDbConnectionString constr, OleDbConnection connection)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionFactory.CreateConnection(DbConnectionOptions options, Object poolGroupProviderInfo, DbConnectionPool pool, DbConnection owningObject)

TargetSite: {Void .ctor(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnectionString, System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection)}
Strange thing is, when I use the Connect To Database under Tool menu of VS.NET 2005, I could make the connection to this database. Then I copied this connection string to the code, the connection couln't be made. I feel very confused.
I am wondering if I need to add ASP.NET user to SQLExpress. But I don't know how to do it?
Can anyone please help me out! Many thanks!

Hi
I have VC++ express and MSSQL SMS express and have an application working nicely locally. The Data explorer and data connections part works really easily.
Now, I want to make the application available to my home network.
I mapped the drive where the database is and called it Z: so I could put my "release" on my other network PC and assumed it would find Z: if I mapped the shared network drive on that machine and called it Z:
But: I can't even add the mapped connection on the local machine, I get:
The file "Z:databasescalorie.mdf" is on a network path not supported for database files. An attempt to attach.....etc"
It works fine on the original F drive.......
Am I approaching this the wrong way. How should I distribute to network PCs?
thanks hopefully

All --
Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hello,
I have searched every post and tried every connection string there but can't figure out how to connect to my database on my remote server. I am using Visual Developer 2005 Express Edition in C# and uploading it to a Windows server running asp.net 2.0. The domain has not resolved yet.
I am so new to this and have followed many tutorials step by step but none of them address this issue. They just show how to upload it to the server.
Do I need to use the SQL server provided by my host or can the database stay in the App_Data folder?
My local connection string works locally:
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|add_newSQL.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
When I uploaded to my server I changed SQLEXPRESS to (local) as advised in the forum.
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(local);AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|add_newSQL.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
When I debug a page I get the <customErrors mode="Off"/>
error message even thought I have already set it in my remote web.config file which may be causing problems itself:
<configuration>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(local);AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|add_newSQL.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<compilation debug="false" />
<authentication mode="Windows" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
Thanks for any help you can offer. I wish I could find someone to hire to do this part for me or teach me how over the phone. Any suggestions?

I downloaded the new version with advanced services, created a new instance, and tried to use it. VC# wont connect cause it is still trying to connect to my old instance which no longer exists. Could someone please tell me how to make my new instance the one to log on to?

Good day.
I am trying to look at a friends database that they have developed. Not having used SQL Server Express before I am experiencing problems trying to remotely connect to their database.
He connects locally just fine of course.
I get the error message about remote connectionsand the default settings so I have enabled TCP/IP and Named Pipes as well as cleared SQLSERVER Express in my firewall settings. I also stopped and restarted the service, but still get the same error message.
My connection parameters are like:
Server type: Database Engine
Server name: http://sql.exampledatabase.net (should http be here? have tried with and without same error)
Authentication: SQL Server Authentication (windows authentication? If so, how do I change to such?)
Login: http://username (should http be here? have tried with and without same error)
Password: password
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to http://sql.exampledatabase.net
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi all,
I've read up on the fact that if you use SQL server 2005 instead of SQL express you need to change the connection string in web.config.
Is there anyway to make this default connection type, or do I have to do it for every website I create. i.e. is there a global file that this connection can be entered into. Then whenever I start a new website I don't have to put the string in.
Just me being lazy really. But it's nice to know if it's possible.
Many thanks

SQL Server 2005 Express keeps putting in a different password than the one I chose. I would check the properties on the login I want to change. Then I change the password and it gets accepted. When I try my web application, I get the dreaded "login failed for <loginname>". I look at the properties again and see my password never change. Is this a bug? I ever tried this syntax to no avail:
CREATE LOGIN <loginname> WITH PASSWORD='<mypassword>' CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF, CHECK_POLICY = OFF

Hi,
I am relatively new to this. I have installed VB 2005 and that has installed a version of SQL Server 2005 Express on my local development machine. I am using VB to develop some demo sites and i can create DB's in the App_Data file and they work when I test and run then by pressing Ctrl + F5.
However i have some demo tutorials that require Northwind and Pubs to do them. So i have installed Northwind and Pubs using the cms prompt and the InstNwnd.sql install. They said everything has been installed fine.
This is where the problem starts. I open new connection in VB, or asses for that matter and try to open my local server machine (just my desktop running WindowsXP pro), Which is called Optiplex. Sometimes i get the optiplex appear in the dropdown that asks for your to choose a server and other times it doesnt. Eevn if the machine appears it doesnt let me chose Pubs or northwind from the second drop down.
I think i must have SQexpress running on the machined named Optiplex because i have the SQL server configuartion manger on it. That tells me i am running SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser both switched on and running. By the way i have set my SQL manager to run as Local service.
One thing that i consider strange is that when i have had SQLServer Express running on other machines normally there was a little icon running in the right hand corner of the the task bar.
Does anyone know what is going on with my mchine and have i got the SQL server setup correctly?
Just one last piece of additionally information is that i have a folder called C:SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases which is where the MDF files are located.
Thanks a million Sanson

I´m developing an application for PDA that have to connect with a SQL server running SQL espress 2005. First I
coded the app to run on the server machine in windows forms and works fine. Then I coded the app under compact
framework in order to run on a remote PDA and I have connection problems. I´m doing test with visual studio
emulator running in the same computer that sql server is.
I configured sqlserver to allow remote connections and use tcp/ip and named pipes.SQL browser is running too.
The firewall is disabled. I´m using windows auth. I used different users, used different connection strings but
I can´t connect to the server. I have read this configuration web:
http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx
The last connection string I used is: Server=192.168.0.3;Initial Catalog=dbase;User ID=guest;
In the connection string I added port 1433, servername instead IP, different users id...but can´t connect.
I can ping visualstudio emulator from sql server, now are in the same lan but in future pda have to connect to
server using gprs.
Where is the error??
Thanks in advance.
PS. I´m reading some post that indicates SQL Server Express doesn´t allow any remote connection?

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Hi,
I am a newbie so i apologies beforehand for any mistakes i make on this forum.
Anyway, i created an asp.net website using the MS Visual Web developer tool. This has a couple of SQL SERVER databases within it.
I then latervinstalled the SQL SERVER management studio express in order to manage the SQL SERVER DBs that i had as part of my website but they do not appear within the management studio db list.
As this is the express version, is there anyway of importing the existing SQL SERVER dbs that i have to the management studio so i can manage them from there?

Okay, I've read massive topics on ClickOnce, and embedded database applications, etc, etc.
I need a handful of good suggestions how I can create a deployment package, to get my sql express database onto a SQL Express server.
The database will need to be multi-user, because I am also developing a WinForms application to connect to the SQL Express database.
I'm thinking I need to use some automated scripting features, to generate scripts for the database once I am done (unless you have a better suggestion).
After that, I need to know what to do with those scripts, and how can I create a setup / deployment packages to run those scripts against a SQL Express server.
The other alterntative obviously is to copy my sql express database, and run an attach command. This will work the first time, only because this will have been the first deployment of this database.
Please keep in mind when answering this question, that I will not be embedding the database, and as far as I understand ClickOnce is a feature for use with embedded databases or user instance databases (not sure).

Hi, I'm completely new to SQL Server and ASP.NET, so please bear with me on my learning curve! I've installed Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express (on the same PC). I then used Web Developer Express to successfully create a new database with a couple of tables in it. So far so good. I then installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the same PC and tried to connect to my new database. The connection to the SQL Server instance appears to work OK (using Windows Authentication) but I can't see the database I previously created. All I can see are the System Databases. Does anyone know what the solution might be?

Hi all,
In the last one and half years, I used the Northwind Database in SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) to learn the programming of SqlConnections, Data sources, Database Exploere, ADO.NET 2.0, etc. via VB 2005 Express.
The Northwind Database in my SSMSE got lost very often, but I was not aware of it. How can I know where the Northwind Database is used or processed by my VB 2005 Express projects that were the examples of some tutorial books or my trial projects? How can I release the Northwind Database back to my SSMSE from the VB 2005 Express projects? Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

Since this is a redistributable web application and I don't want to rewrite the connection string every time I distribute a copy, is there any way to automatically get a connection string without prompting the end user for one? I can get the server name and the data base name, but I don't know how to get a username. It returns an error saying SERVERASPNET can't log on. Can anyone help?

I am using SQL server express 2005. I can drag and drop a grid control on to my web form and choose the data source to point to a SQL server database. Then datais nicely displayed on my web form.
Now I need to manually create my connection to the database as I need to read from a text file and then populatea database table with those values I read from the text file. I have not had any success with this though and I am stuck and need some help.
Below is my C# code and I list the web.config code where my connection string is stored.
Note that I can trace into the C# line of code below. If I then do a "Quick Watch" on "myConnection" in the debugger, the followingerror message is displayed:
ServerVersion 'myConnection.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' string {System.InvalidOperationException}
So I don't know what the problem is here. If someone can help me out I would be forever thankfull
C# code:
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["TheDividerConnectionString"]);
Here is the connection string as defined in the web.config file:
<connectionStrings> <add name="TheDividerConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=BVCOMPUTERSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TheDivider;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>
