I am using visual web developer with sqlserver2005 express edition. When I try to create a database in the App_Data folder through solution explorer I get the following error message:
Failed to generate a user instance of Sql Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I am unable to create the database. Can anyone help in solving this problem?

I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.

I am trying to create a sql server database in the app_data folder of visual studio 2005. It keeps telling me I need the express version. Can I not use the developer version
Thanks
On my VWD 2005 Express, I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express databases in the App_Data folder.I kind of remember these 2 databases were installed from Wrox web site or a zip file. Now we still useSQL Server 2000 databases for our ASP.net applications. I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express.These 2 databases in the App_Data folder seem to work fine although I can not see them from theManagement Studio Express.
My question is: How do I 'manually' create a new SQL Server 2005 database into the App_Data folder?
TIA,Jeffrey
HI,
I found that we can keep .mdf file in App_Data folder and use the same database in our application.
so my questions are .
1.the database which is kept in app_code will work only with Sql Server Express Edition.
2.what will be my connection string in web.config.
If any one can help out that will be appreciate and put some more light about using the data base in this way.
or any article link will also appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

I'd be interested to know what the recommended methods are of implementing a SQL database using VS2005 standard and SQLExpress.
I previously used VS2003 and MSDE which allowed me to create a .sql script to create and populate a database.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it now appears that in VS2005 the preferred way of doing this is to create a SQLExpress database in the App_Data folder. This is fine, except that I can't seem to connect to this 'detached' database using SQLCMD when I need to run my .sql scripts to create the tables.
When I used MSDE, I used a command similar to the following:
osql -E -S(local)etsdk -dMyDatabase
Which connected to the 'MyDatabase' database. Now, with VS2005, if I create MyDatabase.mdf in the App_Data folder how would I connect to it using SQLCMD? I've tried:
sqlcmd -E -S(local)SQLEXPRESS -dMyDatabase.mdf
but this just tries to open a database in the SSQL.1MSSQLData folder.
I guess I'd like to store the database in the App_Data folder as it keeps everything together and will be easier when deploying a site to a remote host.
Thanks,Wayne.
Hi,
I have developed an application on the Intranet, but what I have done is dealing with the database directly using MS SQL Server 2005 server. But I have seen some people or videos where they create the database on "App_Data" folder.
I am going to develop online application on Internet this time, I should develop it offline on my machine. So, I have 2 questions foe now:
1) What is the right way to create MSSQL 2005 database? in "App_Data" or in MSSQL 2005 server?
2) When creating database in "App_Data" folder, is it going to be created automatically or shown on my MSSQL 2005 server?
Thanks,
I have a vb.net 2005 application and i created a SQL Server 2005 db inside my App_Data folder and I need to know how to connect to this database so that I can query it from my vb code. thanks

I have created my self a person website in VS2008 using Linq and ahev downloaded a copy of sql express to use as my database when working on it at home.
I have just noticed, now I am trying to upload it to a server that my sql express is automatically creating the database in my app_data folder, this is causing me problems, as I don't want it to do this. I want it to be able to point it at a full version of SQL server.
Is there some setting I have missed? Of how can I stop tis automatic creation of the database?

I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC that has SQL Server Express (SSE) and Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) programs. The Microsoft "pubs" Database is installed in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). I created a website in my VWDE program.

I'm, using my script to many location to create folder to save output files and if the folder is removed/not present it can create it without any noise. But the problem is, while I use the same sort of script to check if a folder is present in the sharedpath it will not create it to copy all bkp files from local to remote path works good, but if you delete the folder or rename the exisitng folder and if the below script tries to create the folder it created as "fILE", very interesting. Per IT team they have given SQL Server account the full rights to create/delete/alter folder/files.
Do I need to use seperate script or way to create / alter folders in the sharepath?

I'm using VWD on the local box and WS 2003/SQL Express on the remote box.
The first time I upload the site, the upload works great. Later after uploading updates, new pages, etc. the upload still works great.
BUT.....when I try to upload anything in the App_Data folder, I get a copy error, access denied.
On a pre-existing site with App_Data ....How do you upload the App_Data folder or it's contents to the remote server?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
The web site I'm working on will allow admin users to create a new database for each new client. I'm hoping to be able to keep all of the databases in the local App_Data folder, but I'm finding that I can't even find a way of generating a list of the databases in the App_Data folder.
The code I have is:Dim serverConn As New ServerConnection(".SQLEXPRESS")
serverConn.LoginSecure = True
serverConn.ConnectTimeout = 30
serverConn.Connect()
Dim sqlServer As Server = New Server(serverConn)
For Each db As Database In sqlServer.Databases
ListView1.Items.Add(db.Name)
NextThis does populate a list of databases, but not the ones in the App_Data folder - just those attached directly to the server.Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as it's starting to drive me nuts!Thanks,Paul

I've recently installed VB Express and SQL Server Express (including
Management Studio Express) on a laptop as well as a desktop PC.
Everything looks the same on both. I can create an SQL database
from VB without any problems on my laptop. However, when I try to
create a new SQL database from VB on my desktop, I get the following
message:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in
starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be
closed."
I've written a number of databases in Access, but never used SQL Server. This is about to drive my crazy.
Thanks.

Hi
I am a complete newbie here. I have spent hours trying to create a database - (even installed on XP and Vista) and I seem to not be able to create a database - it tells me that:
Create Database permission denied in database master - Microsoft SQL Server Error 262.
How to I enable these priviledges?
Do i need to regsiter the Server with the Enterprise Manager and how do I do that?
All help VERY gratefully received thanks Lister

I saw a video on how its possible to create a local database so that when the application is being deployed, the mdf file will be deployed with it and will contain the enter data. The instructor(Beth Messi) showed that all I need to do is to add the .mdf file using the "Rightclick Project name in solution explorer > select add > add new item > then in the dialog that opens, select SQL database and click ok. I did this but the Visual Studio kept saying: "An error occored while extablishing a connection with the server. When connecting SQL Server 2005, this failure may have been caused by the fact that under the default settings of SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (Provider: Shared memory provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
Honestly, I don't know how to go futher with this. The SQL server am using is the professional edition and I have been able to use it through Visual Studio to create Databases. It connects alright in that senario. Please I really need help here.
I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express sample databases from 2 books, ASPnet 2.0 and ADOnet 2.0. The ASPNETDB.MDF was shown in App_Data and Database Explorer, but not in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. The AdoStepBy Step database created by a ConfigDB.exe was displayed in the Management Studio, but not in the App_Data, or Database Explorer.
Is this the way SQL Server 2005 runs the 2005 databases for SQL Server 2005 Express only? Or also in SQL Server 2005?
TIA,

My situation: I have one virtual folder on a customer's server that hosts a web service which connects to Sql Server Express. This has been working for months.
The connection string that i use is:
(obviously the names have been changed to protect the innocent)
User ID=auser;Password=apassword;Initial Catalog=acatalog;Data Source=0.0.0.0SQLEXPRESS
I have recently added another virtual folder to the server, and it needs to connect to the same sql server. In this case it is a "regular" web site. I have it set up to use the same connection string as the web services site ( I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be the same), however when I try to open the connection ( when I call mySqlConnection.Open(); ), I get get this error:
"SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified"
I am stumped as to why code in one virtual folder has no problem, while the other does. Both virtual and physical folders are on the same machine, and the Sql Server Express is installed on that machine.
The server is a MS Windows Server 2003 machine.
More details as requested.
Thanks,
