SQL Server Vs Windows Application Project Maintenance?
Oct 6, 2006
I'm a database newbie, trying to decide whether to create an SQL Server or Windows Application project that uses SQL Server 2005 Express. As I understand it, the advantage of an SQL Server project is that the app deploys somehow as part of the database. If that's the case, how would I handle the scenario where the database has been updating at customer site and I need to install just a new release of the software? Would I be better of creating a Windows Application project and connecting to the database explicitly? Thank you.

Hi,
I have been working on some SSIS packages for a while now and today while i was working i was trying to create a new connection and in the process there was an error and it said the BIDS has to be closed and i closed it but later when i open BIDS and try to open my project(.sln) from the file menu to work on the half done package it pops up an error which shows the path to my project location on the first line and next statement on the pop up error box says:
"Make Sure the application for the project type (.dtproj) is installed."
I tried to check some forums in which some suggested to try installing SP1 which i tried but ..i dont know why but the SP1 fails to install (i dont know if its causing problem becoz i already installed SP2 as i had some other problem before for which the cure was to install SP2).
Did anyone here face such a problem before ?
I'd really appreciate if the experts here can tell a cure for this problem.
thanks,
Ravi

My site crashed, so I had to rebuild the Project Site.
I used the SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to disconnect from the server farm (only actually running on the single server).
I then reran SharePoint products and technologies configuration wizard to setup the site.
Configured the Project Service and attached to the existing dB's.
Previously, I used the url http://servername.domain.forest/PWA/default.aspx .
Now when I attempt the use the same URL, I get the following error:
"An unexpected error has occurred"
I have tested this one 3 servers now and I receive the exact same result. Is there a path I should apply to the servers in order to allow fully qualified server names after a reinstall of the system?

I am attempting to write a Windows service that watches a database for uploaded files to import. When a new file is found, the corresponding SSIS package is run from the file system with variables passed through. I started development as a Windows app and copied the functionality to a service.
The app runs fine. The service does not. I get a "Failure" each time a package is executed. Everything is identical behind the scenes with the obvious exceptions that OnStart and OnStop handlers are buttons in the app. I added a script task at the beginning of one of the SSIS packages to notify me that it is even running at all. It doesn't even hit that initial task.
Again, the app will run all packages just fine. The data is imported and the results return as "Success."
The following is the code executing the package. Any help is appreciated. I've been banging my head on this one for a few days now. (Is there a tag to format a code sample?)
Dim pkgLocation As String
Dim pkg As New Package
Dim app As New Application
Dim pkgResults As DTSExecResult
pkgLocation = sPackageFolder & PackageName & ".dtsx"
pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)
Dim vars As Variables = pkg.Variables
vars("ImportId").Value = ImportId
vars("ProductionServer").Value = ProductionServer
vars("ProductionDatabase").Value = ProductionDatabase
vars("SourceFileName").Value = FileName
vars("SourceFilePath").Value = FilePath
pkgResults = pkg.Execute()

Hi there,
I have a question which I put the company that host my website but I didnt get a conclusive answer. Maybe someone here will be able to advise or help me with my situation.
I want to build a database that I will run on my local server and the front end of this will be run using a windows application. I have a website which I run the database on the remote server. What I would like to do is to be able to synchronize certain tables between the two databases (such as updating products table, or orders table). I am using sql server 2005 and I am using the sql server management studio to access my database on the remote server. I did notice there is a synchronzie button. I also came across some 3rd party tools. Not sure if that is the way to go.
If anyone as done this before or can give me any suggestions, I would be delighted.
Thanks
Anthony

Hello!
I've been creating a vb.net 2005 windows form application using Everywhere and it has been going pretty well. However, I haven't had much luck finding any help on how to deploy my Everywhere database file(s) and Everywhere itself. To install redistribute Everywhere, can I just add the the 8 .dlls found in the Everywhere directory into my VS setup project? Also, what database file(s) do I need to deploy in my windows setup?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I think I can do this, just want to check
Can I have an sql server database (mdf file) on a server and allow windows applications at different site manipulate the database.
As far as I am concerned the only thing that needs to be configued is the connection string..is this correct.
[i would rather use windows applications rather than asp pages]
If I can, the best way to manipulate the database is to use stored procedures. How would I do the following to create and execute the following proposed procedure:
Insert data into a table
Update another table as a result
Execute the store procedure on a form to execute these two statements
Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone,
I am backing up my all the databases (around 50 servers and 500 database) using scheduled jobs. I backup my transaction log files at every two hours of interval and databases on daily basis.
I have set option of "Write to Windows Application Event Log" - When job fails during the creation of job in the "Notification Tab" of Create New Job.
As per documentation SQL server automatically records some of the events to windows application event log. After succesful completion of Log backup and DB backup, event gets logged in Windows Application Event Log. And when job fails, I get two events logged in the Windows Application Event Log file, one due to my setting and other automatically by SQL Server.
Due to this Windows event log file is growing much faster and I have to clear it in every 3-4 days.
My quesiton - Is there a way such that to get only failures event logged in Windows Application event log file and any successful backup jobs should not go to Windows application event file?
Can any suggest some idea what should I do?
I am using SQL Server 2000 with SP3 on Windows 2000 Advanced server. Some of my databases are still using Version 7.0/6.5 on NT.
Thanks.

Hi,
I want to show sql server reports in windows application.
i code like this,
ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode= ProcessingMode.Remote
Dim userCredentials as New System.Net.NetworkCredential (€œdomain username€?,€? domain user password€?,€? Domain name€?)
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials.NetworkCredentials= userCredentials
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath=€?folder name
eport name€?
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = New Uri (http://servername/reportserver)
ReportViewer1.RefreshReport()
If i don't use network credentials it gives me unauthorized error.
But exactly which credentials should we give for network credentials?
We can not get domain user password at run time right?
Or is any other way without using network credentials?
Regards,
Harshada

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

Hi,
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like
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.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement.
But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?

I have problem connecting to a SQL 2000 server that is hosted on a Windows 2003 server. My application uses classic ASP with VB6 components. VB6 components connect to SQL server and return data to ASP application. Everything was working fine when the application and SQL server was hosted on NT machine. Recently we have shifted to Windows 2003 server. Since then we could not establish connection to SQL2000.
I'm using UDL as connection string.
IIS and SQL2000 hosted on the same machine with Windows 2003 OS.
This seems to be a security issue. Earlier I faced this issue for a .net application which I resloved adding a domain account to both SQL server and IIS directory security.
Request your input to solve this problem.

Good Day,
I have an application that is being developed on Visual Studio 2005 (VB) and SQL Express. The application is set up to use the SQL Express on the development computer, and if an Internet or CD install is built, it installs SQL Express as expected. The question is, when it is time to deploy and put the SQL Express database on the 2003 server, how should the install on the server be done and how should we set the database path to the server?
Thanks,
Dave

Hello!
I am trying to open a SSIS solution and get the error:

I have been running this application for nearly a month and suddenly it dose not work. It still works for my college that execute through a different user.
I have checked what is associated with the file type .dtproj and it seems to be correct.
What has happen? Thankful for any suggestions.

hello folks
i have recently started to work with the analysis services and i am having some problems.
i have made a web application that for now just tries to connect to an analysis server.
The server is installed on an xp sp 2 system.
for testing, i used my local computer, which is running also win xp sp2. After deploying, the application can connect to the AS server on the other machine. the problem occurs when i try to deploy the applicatuion on the production server, which is running win 2k3 server on 32 bit. When deploying, i use the same connection string, so it should try to connect to the AS server installed on a win xp sp2 system.
The first thing that came to my mind was to check the MDAC versions, be cause of the message: "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."
on my computer, where the application worked ok, the version is MDAC 2.8 SP 1 Windows XP SP 2
on the win2k3 server, the MDAC version is : MDAC 2.8 SP2.... i thought it was the version of the service pack, so o searched for the update of MDAC 2.8 SP1, trying to install mdac 2.8 sp2 to see if i was to see the same error, but i found that mdac 2.8 sp2 is only for win2k3 server, and for win xp is mdac 2.8 sp1, according to this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/884103
Now i got confused and have no clues how to make this work...
Can anybody give any hint?

I was wondering if there was a way to set a default project to open in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 when the application launches.
Perhaps there's a certain registry key I could edit?

Hello,
I am developping a non-managed C++ application for PocketPC using a SQL Server mobile database.
The application is compiled for PocketPC 2003 and uses SQL Server Mobile v2. I use Visual Studio 2005. But I need to compile the application for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. So I installed the WM5 SDK and had the WM5 into my project configuration.
The "ssceoledb.h" which I include incluses the "transact.h" file. But my problem is that this file is only provided with the PocketPC 2003 SDK and not in the WM5 SDK.
So I cannot use the WM5 configuration project with SQL Server. I also tried with the last SQL Server Mobile 2005 (ie v3.0) and the "ssceoledb30.h" also includes "transact.h".
Did I miss something to install ?
Do you know how I can resolve the problem ?
By advance, thank you for any answer.

For some reason in a Team Foundation Team Project that has multiple project types (SSRS, SSIS, WebSite, C# Business DLL...), the SSIS project makes itself the startup project to the team project. If I explicitly set another project as the startup project to the team project and then select an SSIS package in the SSIS project in the team project, the SSIS project becomes the startup project automatically.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

I am working on a windows application (C#) that utilizes ODBC to acces paradox tables (works fine thought this would be the problem database) and a WinMobile database(.sdf) in order to sync table records. What I need to do is copy the .sdf file from the winmobile device then access it with this application to check for changed records on the PC and in the mobile database then copy it back to the mobile device via RAPI.
The program compiles fine but when I try to run the application I get this error. Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme30.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) .
I have already copied the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll to my projects bin folder and then added a reference to it in the projects Reference dialog. These were also copied to the bin folder of the project
sqlceca30.dll
The SQL Server Mobile Client Agent. Required for applications that connect to SQL Server by using replication or remote data access.
sqlcecompact30.dll
Provides the compact database functionality. Required if your application will use compaction.
sqlceer30[language].dll
Contains error strings for SQL Server Mobile-generated errors. Required for all SQL Server Mobile applications.
sqlceme30.dll
Contains code required by the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll file. Required for all SQL Server Mobile applications.
sqlceoledb30.dll
Provides OLE DB connectivity to SQL Server Mobile databases. Required only if your application uses OLE DB to connect to the SQL Server Mobile database.
sqlceqp30.dll
The SQL Server Mobile Query Processor. Required for all SQL Server Mobile applications.
sqlcese30.dll
I also added using System.Data.SqlCE to the form and the dataset designer.cs
From this code in the dateset.Designer.cs file after the run is started the eroror occurs.
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]
private System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeDataAdapter Adapter {
get {
if ((this._adapter == null)) {
this.InitAdapter(); Error on this line....
}
return this._adapter;
Already tried this

Is it possible to fix this? Or work around it?

Hi
My application :
On PC : Access application + Access DB
On PocketPC : Embedded Visual Basic 3.0 application + PocketAccess DB
I synchronise my DBs through ActivSync.
It runs good before Windows Mobile 5.
My customers asked me for new PocketPC with this application, so I bought some new PocketPCs : but as I see, syncronisation with Access is no more supported.
So what are my solutions ?
My customer wait for there PocketPC, so I need a quick solution, I don't want to rewrite all my application now.
My application run before WM5, so now I don't want to have to pay for a Visual Studio .Net, some SQL Server, etc ....
Please, what are the solutions that won't cost me more than the time that have already lost with this new Windows Mobile 5 ?

Is there a way to control some of the windows application log settings from within the logging process of a package. Specifically the 'source' parameter which comes out as 'SQLISPackage' which i'd like to be the actual name of the package which wrote to the log, and similarly 'Category' which comes out as 'none' and I'd prefer to assign something more meaniful ?

Hi there, i am building a mobile app using vs 2008, the app has about 8 - 12 forms that collect data.. i am thinking of
i am trying to decide how i want to save the temporary work data while the user fills the data collection forms.
when the user selects to create a new report, i will
create a new xml file...
as user moves from form to form, i will update the file
when the user has finished filling up all the data i will create a transaction and insert the data into the sql ce database and delete the file...
i will be using sql ce 3.5
i think it supports transactions
i think it also supports identity.... i am using sql management studio 2005 standalone , so i cannot visually modify the 3.5 sdf.,..,. is there a tool for 2008 that will let me visually modify the table(s)? i dont want to use the 2008 feb community edition...
is there a better way to do this? should i skip the xml and go directly into sql ce insert (for the first record creation) and updates? i think this will be a performance killer on a win mob devilce (5.0)
p.s. i cannot store data in a class, and then commit the class to the transaction because if the application crashes i will loose class data, so xml file will be needed.,
suggestions?
