Problem - Using Visual Studio To Connect To Remote SQL Server
Jul 20, 2005
Hi,
I am a newbie at all this, but here's what I want to do: We have a
very large database sitting on a SQL server that is on a remote
computer. I can access it through remote desktop and browse the
Enterprise Manager and the DB.
What I am trying to do is create a Visual Studio .Net program that
accesses the DB. Can I use a data adapter to connect to the DB? the
SQL server is on the local C drive of the remote computer so it is not
web based.
Otherwise I guess I'd have to install VS on the remote computer and
create the program there.... but I'm guessing, I really need some
advice here.

Hi all,
Tried this for the first time this morning using a SQLDataSource and received the message:
"Database schema could not be retreived for this connection. Please make sure the connection settings are correct and that the database is online. This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and later"
If possible, how can I connect to the SQL Server 7 as I have a small project to complee and all the data and tables exist on our SQL Server 7 installation.
Thanks for any pointers
Michael

Good day. I was able to connect to a database server using SQL ServerEnterprise Manager. The Server name specified on the tree isJOMARGON(Windows NT). But no server was detected using either VisualStudio .NET and SQL Server's query analyzer.I highlighted one database (master) on the SQL Server EnterpriseManager and chose 'SQL Query Analyzer' under the 'Tools' menu. Itworked. The Title of the Query Analyzer window isSQL Server Analyzer - [Query- JOMARGON.master.JOMARGONJM Gonzalezand below on the status bar, I can seeJOMARGON(8.0) and JOMARGONJM Gonzalez(52)But again, I cannot connect manually using Query Analyzer as nothing islisted in the SQL Server drop-down listThanks

Hello,
I have visual studio 2005 installed on my PC. I want to create a new website and I want the site to be connected to a MS SQL 2005 database that resides on my hosting account. I am thinking this can be done but I have watched videos, spent time looking for a site to help and I have hit a brick wall.
I have no idea how to do this.
Can anyone please help me with some instructions or a webpage that shows you how to do this.
Thank You

I need help setting up my laptop so that I can develop using Visual Studio 2003 and SQL Server 2000. I currently have both installed on my laptop but can not get them to play nicely together. Here is my connection code:

string strConnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1";
strConnection += @"Data Source=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataorthwnd.mdf";
////strConnection += @"Data Source=DEREKLAPTOP";
data_src.Text = strConnection;
string strSQL = "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees";
DataSet objDataSet = new DataSet();
OleDbConnection objConnection = new OleDbConnection(strConnection);

objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Employees");
DataView objDataView = new DataView(objDataSet.Tables["Employees"]);
dgNameList.DataSource=objDataView;
dgNameList.DataBind();
Here is the error message I get in IE:

I know that my problem is in the @DataSource part of the connection string. It works if I use the first two lines (the database file is in the same folder as the code). But not when I use it as above. I think I'm pointing to the wrong place, but I can't figure out the right place to point to. I have SQLServer running on my laptop (I think), so can anyone help me out or maybe give me some example connection strings that you have used? Thanks.

Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections. Right click and choose "Add Connection..."2. Data Source was "Microsoft SQL Server Database File". Click OK.3. I browse to the database in the MSSQL.2/MSSQL/Data folder.4. Click on the "Advanced" button, and change the default DataSource from .SQLEXPRESS to .MSSQLSERVER. Click OK5. Received this error: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 setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) Only .SQEXPRESS that I was able to connect to... i've tried the solution from Microsoft, opened SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration and enabled "Local and remote connections", checked the option "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" but it didn't help. This is frustrating because I can't get the Membership provider, login to work on my host. Please help. Thank you very much,Kenny.

hi ,
I am trying to connect to my local SQL server 2005 from "Server Explorer" but it is giving the error of "Remote Connectons" not allowed.
I am using "windows authentication" login.
My SQLExpress and SQLExpress browser are running from "SQL server configuration manager".
If i use a "App.Config" file to connect to database, the SQl connection can open and i can run the stored procedure.... but cannot access the database on my local machine.
Please help.
thanks for reply.
With regards,

Hello,
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio to remotely connect to my database for the project I am working on.
I always get the same error, when I try to connect:
Code Snippet
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to the 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 the SQL Server)
So, I decided to ping the server to see if any packets were being sent back to me, on the command prompt.
4 of my packets were sent to the server.
0 were sent back.
Code Snippet
Pinging sq15.bravehost.com [172.16.0.229] with 32 bytes of data
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 172.16.0.229:
Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
So, does the database not allow incoming connections, or am I missing something?
Thanks for the help in advance,
Dustin.

I've read all of the related questions and none answer my situation. I am using Visual Studio 2005. I have not been able to connect to the remote SQL database at all. I have attempted to write a SMO to make the connection however, the info I have been able to get to on MSDN didn€™t have enough information to carry me through.
Here is the code I found it on MSDN and have been attempting to use.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common
'Declare a ServerConnection object variable to specify SQL authentication, login and password.
Dim conn As New ServerConnection
conn.LoginSecure = False
conn.Login = xxxx
conn.Password = xxxxx
'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server(conn)
'The actual connection is made when a property is retrieved.
Console.WriteLine(srv.Information.Version)
'The connection is automatically disconnected when the Server variable goes out of scope.
End Sub
End Module
The code executes however, nothing happens. I don€™t know where the IP address comes into play. Thanks in advance.
· SQL Server 2005 Standard
· TCPIP
· Server not starting (I€™m able to connect using SQL Server Management Studio
· I don€™t know whether SQL Browser is enabled enabled. I use the IP address when using SQL Server Management Studio
· I€™m not sure however, I believe it runs under Network Service with the Host provider
· I have not made a firewall exception
· Windows XPSP2
· Running Norton AntiVirus 2007
Thanks for any help or advice.

Hello all,
I've been trying to find an answer to this to no avail. I'm not even sure if its possible. I like to do development at home in addition to work, like most of you do. Since it is my home computer, I like to play games, so I try to keep applications to a minimum. I would like to install sqlexpress on a virtual machine (which I have successfully done), and I can connect to it via Management Studio on my local machine (non-vm). Is there a way to set visual studio to use this connection as opposed to local host? I really do not want to load sqlexpress on my local machine and have yet another thing tying up system resources.
Your feedback is appreciated.

I've been trying this solution http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2200113&SiteID=1 but for whatever reason it's not working. This is a SQL 2005 server SP2 I am trying to connect to.
I tried servernameMSSQL.1 I tried just servername. Restarted SSIS both times.
What's odd is that I have an admin db that I was able to connect to in VSS.

I can't connect to a SQL Server 2000 database using Visual Studio 2008. When I try to create a SqlDataSource in Visual Studio the db server isn't in the dialog box. When I manually create a connection string it doesn't connect.
When I go to the server, the db is running and apps that use it work fine. I can ping the server, and I can map a drive to it, but I just can't connect to the database. I tried using servername,port - didn't work.
I open SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and try to connect. In the Connect to Server dialog box, when I go to the Server Name dropdown and browse for my database server on the network, the server is not in the list. I tried entering the server name (and password, etc) but it doesn't connect. A different SQL Server 2000 database server does show up there.

I'm right-clicking on Data Connections in Server Explorer, and selecting Create New SQL Server Database. I've turned on the SQL Browser, so I'm able to select the instance from the combo box. I select Use Windows Authentication, type the database name to create, and click OK.
I'm getting this error:
"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)"
I've followed the instructions here, but with no luck:

Is there something else I need to do?

Hi,
I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
"
Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
"
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S.
I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.

I can't connect to LocalDB using Visual Studio for Web Express 2012 or SMSS 2012 in a Windows 8 environment. LocalDB is installed and some things do work, however. The basic error is the very common:
Cannot connect to (LocalDB)v11.0.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

In a command window, I can query the state of LocalDB an "info" parameter:

TestOfLoc
v11.0
The first two are tests created at the command line using sqlLocalDB.I have reinstalled and repaired LocalDB several times with no errors reported.

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason

I recently installed the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005 x64 and it appears that MS Visual Studio 2005 is installed in stead of SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. When I choose new project the only template available is "Blank Solution". How do I get all the templates (i.e. Analysis Server Project, Integration Services Project, Report Model Project, Report Server Wizard project, etc.)?
Or would it be better to uninstall MS Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to reinstall BIDS?

I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
Thanks

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
