How do I create a connection string to connect to a Sql Server database?
I am using VB.Net to authenticate log on details.
What is the synax of the connection string?
I have tried one version but keep getting an error "Type SQLDataAdapter is not defined.
Can anyone help me with this?
I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Is this an intrinsic issue?
Hi I am trying to write the following connection string:public static SqlConnection connect() { SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection("server=9.0.3042;database=Menu;Connection Lifetime=300"); return sqlConn; } I am trying to connect to a sql database using c# code. The code above is in a seperate file. The code below is the code used to talk to the database SqlConnection sqlConn = connection.connect(); sqlConn.Open(); SqlCommand menubar = new SqlCommand("Select * from Menu_table", sqlConn); SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter5 = new SqlDataAdapter(); dataAdapter5.SelectCommand = menubar; DataSet dataSet5 = new DataSet(); dataAdapter5.Fill(dataSet5); DataTable selcartest4 = dataSet5.Tables["table"]; However the connection is just timing out like I have the wrong address set for the connection on the first bit of code posted any heklp would be great cheers J
View 4 Replies View RelatedHey guys,
sorry to bother you with something so newbish, but I am trying to connect to a remote sql server db, using vb6.
I want to use ado to do so but have been having problem with some of the samples I have found online.
I will probably just test the connection out on an existing database like pubs or northwind.
Can anyone provide me a code snip please?
This forum has always been a great resource for me, thanks again guys!

View 4 Replies View Relatedi'm using sql server 2005 express edition as the database server for my web application. Right now, i want to deploy it and the problem is, my hosting is using sql server 2000. So, is it possible to deploy my database that has been created in sql server 2005 in the sql server 2000? I'm afraid that the connection string for sql server 2000 is different from sql server 2005. In addition, i'm using forms authentication in my web application. So, some data regarding to the forms authentication like dbo.asp_net.membership table, dbo.asp_net.roles table is in my database. Is it the table that has been created like dbo.asp_net.membership can be used in sql server 2000 since it is created by asp.net forms authentication function?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite trial version and the SQL Server 2005 trial (which came with team suite) installed in my machine.
When I installed the SQL Server 2005 I installed it in the Windows Authentication mode. So every time I open SQL Server 2005 it doesnt ask for Username/Password (Its greyed out). The only thing available were:
Server Type: Database Engine
ServerName: ServerSue
Authentication: Windows Authentication.
Here is my Problem:
I created a small application in C#. In the web.config file I created the following:
<appSettings>
<add key="resumecon" value="SERVER=ServerSue;database=Resume;"/>
</appSettings>
Then in the Code behind I created the following string:
string strResCon = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["resumecon"].ToString();
Then in method (for a Login page) I created the connection string as follows and wrote code to insert some values into the Resume database. I called this method on a button click event.
SqlConnection conLogin = new SqlConnection(strResCon);
When I run the page and when I click the button I get the following error:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I think some thing is wrong in the addkey of webconfig? How do I change this?
I am slightly confused about SQL Server connections strings. When I used the following connection string:
string strConn = "server=deciusawa;database=xxxx;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxxx";
I get an error saying "Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 13. "
I spent ages trying to figure out why this was and I eventually discovered that adding an "@" symbol before the string fixed it, i.e.
string strConn = @"server=deciusawa;database=xxxx;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxxx";
Most of the examples I have seen to not use the "@" symbol so I am just wondering what is does and when you need to use it?
Thanks,

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>
I'm trying really hard to set this website up so that I can have a web layer... bll, and dal. But I can't figure out the connection string in the config file. Can someone take a look? <connectionStrings> <add name="SearchConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=AURORASQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Search;"/> <add name="SearchEngine.DAL.Properties.Settings.SearchConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=AURORASQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Search;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/></connectionStrings>
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using my old connection string for years, and it has worked fine in 1.1 and 2.0 betas
It's pretty basic: "Data Source=Computername;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security = true"
For some reason, I am having trouble getting this to work on SQL Server 7 with the release code of asp.net 2.0
What does work is to open up TCP/IP on the server network utility (I
usually only use named pipes) and change the connection string to "Data
Source=123.123.123.123;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security = true"
The latter (with the IP of the box istead of 123....) works great, so I
can be sure that my IWAM account has correct permissions to access the
DB.
Does ASP.NET talk with sql servers using a different protocol than
Named Pipes by default? I'm a bit spooked to open up TCP/IP on my
production box as I saw the damage that SQL Slammer did a few years
back, and want to keep everything as locked down as possible.
Thanks,

I am using asp.net 2.0, and am attempting to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database. When I run the web page either in the debugger, or by viewing it in the browser, I get the following error message:
Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
I think that maybe my values for uid, and pwd are not correct? If this is the problem, then I don’t know what their values should be? Should uid always be equal to sa ??(If so why?)
Also I don’t know what the password should be. I don’t know what the name of the password as it was assigned over two years ago when I installed sql server 2000. I might need some instructions on how to find this value in SQL server.
Someone please help me if you can. Here is a snippet of the code I am using:
String sqlStmt = "INSERT INTO LogIn (UserName,PassWord) VALUES ('JohnyRocket','FastestRocket99')";
SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection("server=localhost;uid=sa;pwd=;database=MyWebSite;");
SqlCommand sqlCmd = new SqlCommand(sqlStmt, sqlConn);
sqlConn.Open();
I have the following connection string in my Windows app that works fine on the Server:
workstation id=SCSXP;packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source=scsxp;persist security info=False;initial catalog=nala
But when I use that string on a workstation, it times out. I do have a Network connection to the Server.
How should I modify the connection string to work on the workstation?
Thanks,

The connection string I'm currently using for SQL Server is Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=SERVERVSDOTNET;Database= CCDDbase;Integrated Security=SSPI
would this be the same query string for MSDE database? I'm quite new in MSDE but I know that except for the tools that comes with SQL Server and its size, they are practically the same...
Hello,
I'm working with classic ASP and am having a terrible time trying to get a proper connection string working with my database. Could someone please advise me on how to get the following code to connect to my database (which is using Windows Authentication)?
If fileSize > 0 Then
' Connection string
Dim connStr
connStr = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=Dell-LaptopSQLEXPRESS;Database=Upload;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
' Recordset object
Dim rs
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.Open "Files", connStr, 2, 2
Right now the error I'm receiving is:
"SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified
Also, I'm using II7 with Vista.

What is the connection string for access a database of a linked server in sqlserver
Thanks
I add a linked server (another sqlserver server2) to my sqlserver(server1) , I need make a sqlconnection to the linked server connecting my sqlserver (server1)
how to get the catalog name for the SQL server without connection string
through the front end is that possible
Analysis Services has a CustomData connection string property. You can put anything on it, then inside an MDX query you can use the CustomData() function to retrieve whatever was on the connection string. This is helpful for passing in a security token.
Is there anything equivalent for SQL Server?
I also posted this here, but got no response so thought I'd check in the security forum.
I know I am doing something boneheaded but after much Googling I still can't figure it out. I am upgrading my Windows 2000 with SQL Server 2000 machine to Windows 2003 Web with SQL Server 2005 Express.
I have a bunch of legacy ASP pages that I need to get working. But I am having a problem with my Connection String. It may stem from the fact that I did not think that before I needed a servername/instance name. I only needed an instance name on the old machine. So I've tried a bunch of different connection strings and I either get this on the ASP Pages:
Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
or this:
SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF].
Here are a few connection strings I've tried (with the password etc. tweaked for the public):
ConnString = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=AP5;Database=abcdb;Uid=sa;Pwd=abc123;"
ConnString = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=AP5SQLEXPRESS;Database=abcdb;Uid=sa;Pwd=abc123!;"
ConnString = "Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=AP5AP5;Database=abcdb;Uid=sa;Pwd=abc123!;"
ConnString = "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=AP5AP5;Database=abcdb;Uid=sa;Pwd=abc123!;"
When I go into SQL Server Management Studio at the top it says AP5AP5. I named the Windows 2003 Server the same as the SQL Server Express Instance (Both AP5), but that should be all right shouldn't it?
I develop a website. When I work in local machine for login/logout, The connectionstring works well.
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|xxxxx.mdf;Initial Catalog=Restaurants;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
But When I deploy the web to IIS server. The I always can't work normally. The system cannot find the file specified..An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

</connectionStrings>
I'm running Microsoft SQL server 2005. what is the error in the above code.
Sorry for the newbie question, but....
I have developed a website on my local development machine. When I create the connections string VS automatically creates a path to my local hard drive inside the string.
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Documents and SettingsMikeMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesPostAlertzApp_DataPADatabase.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
However, when I deploy this website to a remote server, SQLExpress tries to attach to the file using the wrong path. How do I fix this?
Your patience is appreciated...
Hi,
I have just uninstalled SQLEXPRESS and installed the 180 day trial SQL server 2005 enterprise edition.
I have since started to have problems with my ASP.Net Configuration Tool., can not connect to the database.
I think that the connection string in my machine.config file is incorrect, before installing I had,..:
datasource=./SQLEXPRESS,....
So i decided to change that part to the following. Would anybody know what I have put in the datasource part for the SQL server 2005 enterprise edition? At the moment I tried SQLSERVER2005 but that is incorrect,..

than also I get the same exceptionsCan u please tell whats the problem,is the connection string correct,the DBA has also registered me "test" as a user on the SQL server.One thing which I want to mention is that through enterprise manager I can connect and use sql server without any problems,also please note that in VS.NET when I try connecting using server explorer and test the connection than I connect successfully, than why is problem occuring in connecting throug aspx page.
does anyone kbnow the connection string used to connect to the database in sql server 2005 express?
can someone one give me sample codes for it? thanks.

Hello,
I need to know if I am able to use OLE DB connection strings without the username and password for Challenge/Response logins.
I have a web site that uses SSL and Challenge/Response to authenticate users, but my connection to the database is by embedding a generic username and password in the connection string.
I would like to leave that off and have the connection to the database use the challenge/response authentication when they first logged into the web site. This way I can control their permissions in SQL server.
I appreciate any help

I'm trying to connect to sqlserver express using dreamweaver mx. TYhey are both installed on the same machine (win 2000 server),
What I am confused about is the user and password, I have installed the example Northwind database and attempting to connect to it.
In dreamweaver I add a connection (SQL Server connection) , a template shows and I add the data:
Persist Security = false;
Data Source =mycomputersqlexpress;
Initial Catalog = Northwind;
User ID = ?
Password = ?
What do I put in the User ID, Password and how do I configure sqlserver (I'm using Server Management Studio).. As I said I already have Northwind under the database section? but don't know how to set permissions.. Thanks
What is the impact of the differences in the following 2 connection strings:
Initial Catalog=xxx;Data Source=xxxxxx;Trusted_Connection=True;
Driver={SQL Server};Server=xxxxx;database=xxx;Trusted_Connection=yes;
To outline the differences I'm concerned with are
Missing Driver on first string
Difference in Trusted_Connection parameter (true vs. yes)
Initial Catalog vs. database parameter
