Using Sql Express Databases With Windows Forms Applications
May 17, 2006
Hello all,
I would like my newly converted to .NET 2.0 Windows Forms application to use an Sql Express database instead of MSDE. Previously, development was done on the default SQL Server instance using the full SQL Server 7.0. When deployed, MSDE was used with a named instance. The connection string in the application settings needed to be modified as part of the deployment. Now I've converted to .NET 2.0 and to Sql Server 2005, and/or Sql Express.
What I'd really like to do now is have a project within my solution that, when built, creates the database by running scripts, and deploys that database to the output directory of the executable.
I want this to run as part of a continuous integration solution that, so that every so often, the entire project is checked out, built (code and data), all is copied to a bin/[debug,release] directory, unit tests run, etc.
Has anyone done this successfully? Any pointers?
Thanx,
WNC

I have a windows application that uses a small MySql as its data source. I would like to convert it to SQL Express. I would like to continue to manage the data from the windows application, but would like to make it available to the web using Visual Web Developement. I can create the new database in VWD, but how do I access the data from my application? I can use either ODBC or ADO.

I have a windows forms application that I would like to put in production on several machines. Each machine will contain it's own data and does not need to be networked.
I can use my local connection right now to access the data, but I would like to change my connection so that it will work when installed on a client's machine.
My Current connection string looks like this:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Documents and SettingsMYNAMEMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsInterimApplicationInterimApplicationInterim.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
I believe I could use something like this:
Dim connectionString as string = "Data Source=" & Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles) & "/InterimApplication/data/Interim.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
However, I am not sure. Also, if the client does not install to the default directory, then this may cause the application to not work properly.
Lastly, I am not sure if the client machine needs any additional software on their computer in order for the application to be capable of connecting to the data source.
Any recommendations, ideas, comments, or general help is greatly appreciated.

I have an SSIS package that I would really like to launch right out of a Windows form, is this possible? Also, some of the variables for the SSIS package are captured via the windows form, is there any way to pass this on to the SSIS package and then executing it? Can someone point me in the right direction to how to do this.
Thanks

Hi,
I have SQLExpress and SQL2005 both installed on my W2K3 server. I can access my databases with SQL2005 without problems.
As far as my memory serves me, I have not made any manual changes to the SQLExpress setup - nor will I as my users will have no knowledge as to how to - it must be an out-of-the-box solution.
I am using VS2005 to create a Windows Form project. I used VS2005 IDE to create a database as MyBookings.mdf . I have, in the IDE successfully created a table. This is all using SQLExpress.
I now wish to access the database and have the following as my connection string:
string connectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;Timeout=60;Initial Catalog = MyBookings;Application Name=SQLExpressTest;AttachDBFilename=.\MyBookings.mdf";
The following error message is generated when I try to access the db from within my program:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: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.)
The SQL log enties for my past several tries are:
007-03-20 09:57:50.92 Logon Cannot attach the file 'MyBookings.mdf' as database 'MyBookings'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 spid51 Error: 5105, Severity: 16, State: 2.
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 spid51 A file activation error occurred. The physical file name '.MyBookings.mdf' may be incorrect. Diagnose and correct additional errors, and retry the operation.
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 Logon Error: 1832, Severity: 20, State: 1.
2007-03-20 09:58:13.92 Logon Cannot attach the file '.MyBookings.mdf' as database 'MyBookings'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
I have spent 2 days researching this and have come up with no solution.
Can someone help me please.
Thank you.

I have a user who is trying to access the SQL 2005 server with 2 seperate accounts(using Windows Authentication). With one account he can connect just fine, but with the seccond he recieves a logon fail error. The only difference that we can tell is that the first account uses a password for our kerberos domain, and the second (that fails) uses a longer pass phrase (which does use spaces as characters). My intuition tells me that shouldn't matter, but I've been wrong before. Can anyone confirm this, or correct me if I'm wrong? This is using ASP.NET 2005 for the front end. The exact Exception details are: "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'domainuser "

Hello Everyone,
I have a Report Server setup on my laptop (XP Pro SP2). I have developed a report which I would like to view from a Windows Forms Application (VB.NET) using a ReportViewer. When I try it from the local machine it works correctly, but if I try to connect and preview the same report from my other PC (Vista Home Premium) I am getting the "Unable to connect to the remote server. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because the connected host failed to respond." error.
I have setup the Processing mode to Remote and correctly setup the ReportPath and ReportServerUrl using:
With rptRetEmp
.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ProcessingMode.Remote
.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = New Uri("http://192.168.1.2/CPMReports")
.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/CPM_Reports/Test"
.ServerReport.Refresh()
.RefreshReport()
End With
Where CPMReports is the Report Server virtual directory and CPM_Reports is the folder where the report Test resides.
I do not know if this has anything to do with the fact that Vista Home does not have Report Services enabled or it is just a permissions problem. I have red several posts that describe similiar problems, but I could not find a solution.
Thank you for your help.

Hello. I've read some similar topics (most of them on this forum), but none of them helped.
I have a stored procedure which runs fine on SQL Server (in 0 ms). The problem occurs when i try to run it under a WindowsForm application (C#).
The following code
Code Block
SqlCommand cmdUpdate;
SqlConnection sqlCon = GetConnection();
cmdUpdate = new SqlCommand("StoredProcedure_Name", sqlCon);
cmdUpdate.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
sqlCon.Open();
cmdUpdate.CommandTimeout = 300;
cmdUpdate.ExecuteNonQuery();
produces the exception: "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." on the ExecuteNonQuery() line.
It's not a problem with the CommandTimeout or the ConnectionTimeout (from within the connection string), they are both set to 300 (and even when set to 0, the problem is the same).
It's very strange, because only two stored procedures don't work, the others work without any problems and under SQL Server (using EXEC stored_procedure) all of them work fine. It seems like the stored procedure is executed, but no response is returned to the client (the WinForm app), thus the timeout exception.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi;
I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Express database.Here is the connection string used on the web application:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|admindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
Now, i create a Windows application which will run on the server to perform some scheduled tasks, for the Windows application I used this connection string:"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:WebSitesmywebsite.comwwwApp_Dataadmindata.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"The problem is, when the web site is running and using the database, the windows application can't connect to the database and i don't know where i'm doing wrong, if it's the web application connection string or, if it's the windows application connection string.
I hope someone had the same experience and can point me to a direction.
Thank you;Emerson Brito

Do you believe that SqlServer Express can work absolutely without any administration?
That is to say: my clients are people without any technical knowledge and they usually communicate never with me.
Is SSE the correct database for this status, or should I use a desktop database like VFP or Access?

When I registered SQL Server Express I received an e-mail back showing all of the resources available to get started. There were 6 Starter Kits available, Teacher, Colection Manager, Amazon Enabled Movie Collection, and three others. When I click on the links to download the Starter Kits, the link comes back as invalid. Can you provide the correct links to use to get the Starter Applications, or can you e-mail me code? Thanks for you attention to this matter.

I designed the AlwaysOn wrong, but every time we fail over from primary server to another server, my applications cannot connect because the sql logins cannot connect to their default databases. Once I run the command to link the login with the user in the default database then the users are able to connect. Did I do something wrong when designing AlwaysOn?

Please forgive my ignorance here. I'm reading as many of the For Dummy and IDIOT's guides as I can. So far, I must brag and say, I've done fairly well. (For a beginner)
Hopefully, this is an easy problem to fix, or at least to explain where I'm going wrong. This is as stripped out as I can make it:
- Using Access Database Project files to provide forms and reports for Customer Service Reps over a Windows network while using SQL Server 2005 Express as my engine.
- I am using a simple combo box in the Access form to allow CSRs to type in a job number and therefore find and fill in related info to the visible fields.
- This used to work when Jet was my database engine. Now, I receive an error, stating "The expression After Update you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost.
In asterks it says, The expresion may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Event Procedure]. There may have been an error evaluationg the function, event, or macro.
I don't care how I get it done, I just want this simple feature to work again, so my CSRs will quit hounding me.
PLEASE HELP! Keep in mind, I don't know Visual Basic or T-SQL very well.
THANKS!!
DAVID

I am converting an Access 2003 database into SQL 2005 Express for purposes of evaluating the SQL server environment as a future home for my data. One of the motivating factors in the conversion is the integration of LINQ with VB 2008.
Assuming that there was no conversion tool to migrate Access forms for use with SQL and VB 2008, I converted the Access data table and used the VB 2008 form designer to databind textbox controls to fields in the converted SQL database. Here are some basic questions:
The conversion from Access to SQL apparently did not include the default numeric formatting (currency, percentage, etc.) which was part of the Access data table. Is there a place in the SQL server environment to supply a default data format so that forms and reports referencing the field do not need to be manually formatted for each reference?
After converting the data table and spending 2 hours designing the dataform for the 80+ fields, I inadvertantly changed the table structure and found that the dataform was not happy (oops). I corrected the databindings manually for the few errant field references, but wonder if there is some wizard to do this automatically?
Is there a way to print out the dataform itself? I used the following code snippet in my Access form code-behind and I wonder if there is an equivalent VB 2008 function:
Code Snippet
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
Finally, Access can instantly change from dataform to datasheet presentation screens. Can this be done in VB 2008 with two views simultaneously presenting the same SQL data?
Please excuse my naivete, but in contrast to Access 2003 where program functionality is encapsulated into readily apparent controls, menus, and dialogs, the SQL server environment seems foreign, spartan, and all the words are different. Thanks, -BGood

I seem to be having a strange problem with accessing the SQL Express database under the following configuration.
Install Longhorn Server Beta 2
Add WSS role, setup default site, everything seems to be working fine (using NTLM auth for the site). Content database clearly working fine to the embedded SQL Server Express.
Want to switch to Forms Based Authentication with SQL Membership Provider. Follow insructions for it and discover the following issues accessing the database:
aspnet_regsql (running locally on same box) fails and says it can't connect to the database
try using the surface area configuration tools to enable remote access/ protocols etc.
aspnet_regsql still fails and says it can't connect to the database
Install the SQL Management Studio Express - try connecting it to the databse to explore the tables etc.
SQL Management Studio Express fails to connect to the database
Try switching client config to connect via shared memory rather than over TCP/IP etc.
Still fails to connect to database
Try install a third party tool called MSSQL Maestro (does some similar things to SQL Management Express)
Lo and behold - MSSQL Maestro connects to the database just fine, can explore the tables etc. No problems.
Try aspnet_regsql again, try SQL management express again after doing lots of things (try restarts etc. restarts of services). No luck.
So I'm confused. WSS seems to connect to the SQL Express config database fine. MSSQL Maestro connects to the database fine and will allow me to explore it. Using the exact same host and database name (the WSS configured default) aspnet_regsql and SQL Management Studio express both fail with the exact same error.
EDIT: Some significant additional details:
- I have two databases .MICROSOFT#SSEE (which is the WSS default internal database) and .SQLEXPRESS (installed when I installed the rest of SQL Express to get the management tools etc.)
- I can connect to them both by command line with sqlcmd -S.MICROSOFT#SSEE and sqlcmd -S.SQLEXPRESS just fine. They're both running.
- I CAN connect to.SQLEXPRESS from SQL Management Express Studio, but I cannot connect to .MICROSOFT#SSEE
- A look at the error log, shows a line like the following about listening on the named pipe for SQLEXPRESS database, but I don't see a similar entry for the MICROSOFT#SSEE (even thought it's configured to do so in configuration manager...)
"Server local connection provider is ready to accept connection on [ \.pipeSQLLocalSQLEXPRESS ]."
- I've run SQL Management Express as administrator - no change
- The error I get is either error 26, or error 40 when using Shared Memory protocol
- I get the same error and error code from aspnet_regsql
Any suggestions? I'm stumped...

Hi,When I attempt to add the membership functionality to a database created within VWD Express, by using the aspnet_regsql.exe application (connecting to ./SQLEXPRESS using Windows authentication), the database I've created within VWD Express doesn't appear within the list of accessible databases. I have the same problem when attempting to access the same database within Management Studio Express.Does this mean that databases created from within VWD Express don't use the same storage mechanism or paradigm as those already available within Management Studio Express? Or perhaps I need to somehow register the database using Management Studio Express? As a side note, I'm not sure if the "File/Open File" menu option within Management Studio Express holds the answer to my problems, but rather bizarrely, it crashes Management Studio Express when I select it.Apologies for the rambling - in essence my question is "How can I make databases created within VWD Express appear within aspnet_regsql.exe and/or Management Studio Express?"Many thanks,Jon

I am having a problem with permissions using Windows groups. I have a database (database1) that has permissions granted via Windows groups. Two groups (group1 and group2) are members of the db_datareader role in database1, and this work fine. Do to the number of tables that get created during our work, using db_datareader is the easiest way to keep up with permissions without creating a maintenance problem. Now I have a table that I want to add to this database, but I only want group2 to have select permission on this one table which is a problem because group1 has the db_datareader role. So I thought I could create a view in this database to the restricted table that I put in database2. Then in database2 I only added group2 as a user with the permission to select from this table. Unfortunately the group membership does not seem to get interpretted correctly in database2 and no one can successfult select from the view in database1.
In other words, user1 who belongs to group1 connects to database1 and cannot select from the restricted view -- this is what I would expect. However, when user2 who belongs to group2 connects to database1 they also cannot select from the restricted view -- not the behvior I would expect. Now, if I make user2 a user in database2 with select on the restricted table then user2 can connect to database1 and successfuly get data from the restricted view. So it looks like the fact that user2 belongs to group2 is never passed to database2 via the select from the view on database1. Is this indeed the way that Windows group security is working or is meant to work in SQL Server?
I realize I could solve this simplified version of the problem by creating my own role in database1 for group1 etc., but I am trying to solve a bigger problem in our environment that has hundreds of databases across numerous servers.
Thanks
Rob

Hi.
I wonder if it is possible to set forms authentication for report manager but leave report server "as it is". I need to authenticate users from external LDAP and can't use windows authentication for report manager, but I would also like to leave report server open for anonymous users. In that way authenticated administrators could create reports which anonymous users could read.
I tested the Security Extension Sample and got it working when I rewrote the authentication part with my own LDAP authentication.
If I have understood correctly, the report manager is just application inside report server so is it possible to use forms authentication with one application but still leave the report server with Windows authentication?

In SQL Server 2012, once a Windows Login is added to SQL Server Security, it may access ANY end user databaseWe use the following to circumvent this problem, Windows Login by Windows Login: DENY VIEW ANY DATABASE TO [TESTTest1]

Does anyone know? If it works would there be disadvantages?
-- This one's tricky. You have to use calculus and imaginary numbers for this. You know, eleventeen, thirty-twelve and all those.

Hey,
If I use a SQL Express database in a windows app, does SQL Express have to be installed on the machine using it? Will only .NET framework suffice?
Thanks.
