Visual Basic With SQL-database Connection And Windows XP
Dec 21, 2005
When you work with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition on windows XP, and if your application contains references to SQL-databases, I have discovered that it is important that all identities be logged off before you open the particular identity where you want to work on your Visual Basic project. I have earlier assumed that it was only possible to work with Visual Basic on one identity, the one where the version was registered.
This assumption was not quite correct. Actually, you may run Visual Basic applications with SQL-references on all identities on XP, provided that no other identities that are using the SQL-server are currently running.
For example, suppose you start your computer and log on the identity James. Then you switch identity, but you actually don't log off James. Then you log on the John identity. There you discover that it is impossible to create a new SQL-database in Visual Basic's Data-connections view. An error message appears. Why is that? It is because the SQL-server is busy on the James-identity. To solve this problem you want to log off the John identity, don't just switch. Then log on the James identity again, and log off properly. All identities should now be logged off. Now you may log on the John identity again, and it is now possible to create an SQL database.
Concerning deploying applications for XP. This issue is similar to the one I just described. You cannot run the installation-file successfully on one identity if the SQL-sever is busy on another identity. You want to log off all identities before logging on the identity where you want to install the application. Same thing when you want to run the deployed application.
Question. Does this limitation exist only in the express-editions of Visual Studio 2005 as a drag on free-ware, or is it prevalent in commercial editions as well? I would like to know a little more about this before purchasing the standard or professional edition of Visual Studio 2005.
Best Regards

I watched and followed the Intro to VB 2008 Express, but in the final part of the video, when you add a database, i did everything as the video says, still i get:
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme35.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
Ive tried the fix stated in another forum, the one about changing the "Target CPU" but the option doesn appear, what does appear its the "Platfrom" dropdown list, but its fixed to "Any CPU" and dont have any more options.
Ive also downloaded Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 ENU and "re-installed" and selected repair, followed the steps, rebooted and still nothing.
The problem persists, any ideas, please?

Let me get VERY specific.
This site has 40+ pages Using VWD 2008 (Studio 2008)
I have created in local IIS7 (129.0.0.2) http://cumc.lcl
Navigation.master, Web.config and Web.sitemap alll are structured
And all 40+ pages have been built.
NOW I added (using VWD) a sql server database named pagedata.mdf
With a table named: pages
and fields:
PageID - Primary Key (auto numbered)
pagename - nchar(30) exmp Default
hitcount - numeric(18,0)
createdate - nchar(15) exmp 04/18/2008
updated - nchar(15) similar to createdate
hitdate - nchar(15) similar to createdate
bottom of each page is to show 99999 visitors
and under that is to be Updated on mm/dd/yyyy
On pageload should accomplish the following increment the hitcount
field and save it and display it in HitLabel.text
Set UpdateLabel.text to updated field
Save the date the page was hit in hitdate field. (will only show when last hit)
The "tester.aspx" page now has:
<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/Navigation.master" Title="tester" %>
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub
</script>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server"></asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<p align="center">This page is for various tests<br />and will NOT be site mapped.</p>
<p align="center"></p>
<p align="center">
Can this SqlDataSource be moved into Sub Page_load above?
How do I extract, process and save the Hit and Date data
for each individual page referenced by pagename field?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStringsageConnect %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [main] WHERE ([pagename] = @pagename)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="pagename" QueryStringField="thispage"
Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</p>
<p align="center">
<asp:Label ID="HitLabel" runat="server"></asp:Label>
Visitors<br />
Updated on <asp:Label ID="UpdateLabel" runat="server"></asp:Label>
</p>
</asp:Content>

I have an application written with Visual Basic Express 2008, which has a Sql Server Express Compact database incorporated into the application. I've been trying to follow the suggestions listed on several threads on how to backup up my database and have not gotten very far. The following code seems to be in most threads.
Dim dbstring = "Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;User Instance=true;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|ImmuLogDataBase.sdf"
Dim sqlconn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dbstring)
sqlconn.Open()
When run, this code returns the following error at the sqlconn.Open() command.
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file G:ImmuLogImmuLoginDebugImmuLogDataBase.sdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
My solution is saved on a flash drive which I take between home and work. I'm hoping that that isn't the issue. I believe that Visual Basic loads the database when it starts and it is already open when this code is run. Is there a way to access this open database and run a backup procedure on it from within VB express 2008?
I'm new to this and self taught so explain everything in detail. Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody:
I go to Server Explorer, right click on Data Connection, input the server name (that is, my own computer), give a new name to the database to create, and then inevitably get the error window saying:
An error occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connectiong 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 conection to SQL Server)
So, how to open a connection to SQL server 2005? I looked in the msdn but found absolutely nothing.
Please help

Code Snippet
Hi there,
I'm struggeling for more than a week now with this problem, without a finding the solution.
I have two databases, MS Access and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Using a procedure in Visual Studio i would like to copy all the records from one table in MS Access into an existing table in SQL Server (the tables have the same name and the same layout)
I tried to prepare one Dataset to copy from Access into SQL Server but when i run the command 'DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella") nothing happens (not even an exeption has been raised), looking during debug, the DataSet seems filled though...
Please could anyone explain what's wrong and / or is there a more quicker way to copy data from a table to another?
Note i woul have as a final goal to get data from an AS400 database by ODBC, manage it, and put it on SQL Server for a 'data mining' scope (eliminating the use of MS Access, not suited for FE-BE).
the procedure goes like this;
' Create a connection to the MS Access Database
Dim connectionToAccess As New OleDbConnection(DBConnectionAccString)
strsql = "SELECT * FROM [TABELLA]"
connectionToAccess.Open()
Dim DaAccess As New OleDbDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToAccess)
Dim DsAccess As New DataSet("ACCESS")
DaAccess.FillSchema(DsAccess, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaAccess.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
' Create a connection to the SQL Database
Dim connectionToSQL As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionSQLString)
connectionToSQL.Open()
Dim DaSQL As New SqlDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToSQL)
Dim DsSQL As New DataSet("SQL")
DaSQL.FillSchema(DsSQL, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaSQL.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Note I tried also the following, withou a result;
DsSQL = DsAccess.Copy
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Please is there someone who could respond !!???

I want to use Visual Basic to create DTS connection. In the example below a connection is created using an ODBC string. However, I would like to make the Connection's DataSource be an OLE-DB provider instead of ODBC. However, I cannot find any information on the syntax for using an OLE-DB provider as the DataSource.
Your help is appreciated.
Les
strODBCdsn = "server1" 'Create a DSN called SQL7 or change name
strUserName = "sa" 'User name assume same source and dest
strPassword = "" 'with the same Password
Set oConnection = oPackage.Connections.New
oConnection.ID = 1
oConnection.DataSource = strODBCdsn
oConnection.UserID = strUserName
oConnection.Password = strPassword
oPackage.Connections.Add oConnection

I'd like to be able to query a database to get the value of a
certain row. However, I'd like to save this value into a variable
and use them as I'd like, NOT nessessarily display them in a data
control such as a gridview etc. I've been able to find a lot of
information on binding datasourses to predefined data controls, but I
can't find anything on simply querying a database for values and using
those values to display a page as I want.My basic end goal is to create what's basically a shopping site like Amazon only for about 100 or so products.Thanks
in advance for any help. I'm just getting into Visual Web
Developer so please excuse my ignorance and lack of posts.

Has anyone experienced problems calling stored procedures that references syscomments.text from Visual Basic 6?
I have a stored procedure that finds all tables referenced by a specific stored procedure. It works well when I call it from SQL Server Management Studio, but there are cases where it does not find the tables when I call it from VB 6.
I've isolated the failure it to a specific condition in the WHERE clause:
SELECT @howfar = so.id
FROM SYSOBJECTS so
LEFT OUTER JOIN syscomments sc on so.ID = sc.ID
Where lower(so.name) = lower('storedProcName')
AND lower(sc.TEXT) LIKE '%' + lower('update') + ' ' + lower('tableName') + '%'
The call from VB works (finds the record) if
" AND lower(sc.TEXT) LIKE '%' + lower('update') + ' ' + lower('tableName') + '%' "
is omitted, and fails (does not find any records, no error is raised) if that condition is included.
I should also add that the VB Call does work for some combinations of stored procedures and tables.
The old SET NOCOUNT ON trick does not make any difference.
