I'm still fairly green when it comes to ASP.NET and SQL Server, but I have written my share of cool applications (for personal use), using MS ACCESS. Needless to say, I'm growing beyond the limitations of ACCESS. Since I don't have the cash to spend on SQL Server, I downloaded WebMatrix and MSDE. I can connect and create databases with no problems. I just have a basic question: Is it possible to use SQL Server Authentication with MSDE, or is it limited to Windows Authentication? If there's a way, how would I go about it?
I've just started to learn ASP.net using Scott Mitchell's book:ASP.NET in 24 hours. But i've got a little problem in the database section. I couldn't connect with a MSDE from webmatrix using sql server authentication even the username and password are correct. The error message : "unable to connect to the database server:Login failed for user 'sa'. Reason:not associated with a trusted SQL server connection". What does it mean? Have any of you ever had this kind of problem? Thank you for helping me.
G'day, I'm very new to ASP.NET (but not to programming) and I'm having some trouble with connecting to a database.
I am using C#.NET and I dragged the SqlConnection component onto the form, set the connection string to (local) and to use integrated security, and on that data link properties page I can press the test connection and it works fine, and I can see the databases in "select database on server" drop down box... but when I try and Open() the connection I get a
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'AMD2500ASPNET'.
I am trying to connect to a MSDE database on server from my desktop using query analyzer. I keep getting the generic "SQL Server does not exist or access denied'
I have verified the following: - the login/password is valid because when I access osql from server I can gain access - the registry for Loginmode appears OK - set to 2 - mixed mode
Being new to the SQL server world I have a beginner question.How do I grant access to database from a networked computer?I have tried:sp_grantlogin '\computernameusername'and I get the error:Windows NT or user <above> not found. Please check name.Any help would be appreciated.ThanksEric
which is the string I would like to use for normal web access. This string works fine on my development system (where I use XP Pro and IIS 5.1)
In IIS6 on the "production server" the directory security on the virtual dir is set to allow anonymous access, using user IUSR_WS1 (where WS1 is the name of the system) and to integrated security.
I just installed MSDE and when I try to connect to it I get the following message:"Uable to connect to the database. General network error. Check your network documentation.ConnectionRead (recv()).TDS buffer length too largeTDS buffer length too large"Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem?
Hi there, i've installed MSDE and have successfully connected to it from a remote version of Enterprise Manager but when i try to connect using ADO.NET from a website using the same login details i get the following message:"SQL Server does not exist or access denied"I installed msde with DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 and SECURITYMODE=SQL so everything should be setup properly. My connection string looks like this:server=ip_addressinstance_name;uid=myusername;pwd=mypassword;database=mydatabaseThis connection string works fine when testing locally (without ip address ie. localhostinstance_name)Any ideas why this doesn't work??
Hey guys, I am a newbie here, so please bear with me. I have installed SQL Server 2005 CTP on Machine A and MSDE on Machine B. Both these contain the PUBS database beside others. On Machine C, I have installed "ASP.Net Web Matrix" and I want to be able to connect to either Machine A or B to access the PUBS database. It connects to Machine B, when I put in the Servers IP address. But everytime I try to connect to Machine A, it gives me an error saying, "Unable to connect to the database. To connect to this server you must use SQL Server Management Studio or SQL Server Management objects(SMO) ". I heard that connection strings are needed to access the SQL Server 2005 but I have no idea where to begin. Do I need to create special users to access the Server or will Windows authentication work ? Could anyone help me out in connecting to the SQL Server 2005 CTP?
I have installed MSDE into my system, in which SQL Server is not installed. I have followed the installation instructions and installed MSDE. How can i connect to the database? I have the .MDF file of the database (already created in sqlserver) in the Data Folder. How can i connect to the database from Visual Basic 6?
Hi,Does anyone know how I can connect to an MSDE db using VB with aread-only file? The file will be on a CD, and is actually just archiveddata off a SQL server. I would like to package my app on a CD alongwith the data file and allow users to pop in the CD and run the app,assuming they already have MSDE running. Any help?Thanks,Jason
When I try to connect this database from my program running on my machine , it works fine. But when i try to connect to it from the same program running on a different machine on the same domain.It gives error:
"SQL Server does not exist or access denied ."
Even when i run the same program in my machine to access the same TempDB database on a remote machine that is not in my domain, it works fine.
this is my connection string: Data Source={Database server's IP Address}TempInstance;Initial Catalog=TempDB;User ID=sa;PWD=password;
I'm trying to connect to an instance of MSDE 2000 from Visual Studio 2005 over a home network. Although I know how to connect to a database from Visual Studio, I'm pretty clueless about configuring Sql Server to allow the connection (I can connect with no problem when I do so from the same computer). Also, with experimenting I've created a bunch of instances of Sql Server that I don't really need and am not sure how to get rid of them. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know if this will help, but I've already tried enabling all of the network protocols in the instance. Also, I can easily connect to an Access database over the network.
I'm trying to learn a little C#, and SQL using SQL Express, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.951, and Web Matrix v0.6 buld 812 with .Net Framework v2.0.40507.42.
Does Web Matrix and .Net v2 work with SQL Express ?
sqlcmd and xm work allow me to select from my table okay, but cannot do so using my aspx SQL code. It appears the SQLConnection is the culprit:
SqlConnection c = new SqlConnection("server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=Yes;database=test");
(I have tried adding uid=;pwd=; and still get same error.)
Next line of code after connection is:
SqlDataAdapter co = new SqlDataAdapter("select field1 from testtable", c);
Note that error message below refers to line 18, co.Fill..., but I believe its theSQLConnection code that is failing.
Always get error: Server Error in '/' Application.

get a prompt up (in a program like telnet / msdos window) so that I can run sql commands on my webmatrix accounts sql server. I've been trying to connect using telnet but i think maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick or I'm doing something wrong.
here's a link where you click through "how to connect" on the "myserver page" I searched the page for "connect" and found 0 occurances.
Hi all, i'm making a webpage via the walkthrough of webmatrix. I use the tutorial 'Build an End-to-End Application (with C#.NET) '. The problem is that this tutorial works with an access db. I'll try to start the same thing but using an sql server.
Nowhere i can't find (because i don't look at the right place i gess) how i have to make a sqlconnection via webmatrix with c# using a keyfield to filter my data and to fill out a datagrid.
I just recently DL'd sql server 2005 Express and set up it on a server and it works. However, I do my development on my desktop with Webmatrix and can't seem to connect to it. Webmatrix tells me I must use SQL server management studio or SQL server management objects (SMO). Am I barking up the wrong tree?
what i'm trying to do is simply display the contents of the sqldata to verify that it works. and it doesn't. i have created a simple database named 'test' and table 'list' with fields: 'name' and 'id'. i have made 3 records as follows:
NAME ID name1 1 name2 2 name3 3
what i did is connect to the database, click and drag it over to the canvas and codes were generated. if i run it, by default it should show all the contents of the table, correct? well, it isn't. i've tried it using a datagrid and it still doesn't work.
is there an access problem with the database? or, what settings to have to make/change in my sql server? by the way, i have MSDE.
' Insert page code here ' Function test() As System.Data.IDataReader Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='test'" Dim dbConnection As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT [list].* FROM [list]" Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand dbCommand.CommandText = queryString dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection
dbConnection.Open Dim dataReader As System.Data.IDataReader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters. I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is "text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test, I simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Is it possible to make a connection to a hosted SQL Server using the WebMatrix? All attempts have resulted in the following error message.Unable to connect to the databaseSQL Server does not exist or access denied.ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"
We currently have the problem, that all our machines are produced with the same name and afterwards the name is changed. So we have the problem that the checksum key for the MSDE isn't valid anymore. As MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
I looking for some guidance here. I have database which has exceeded the 2 gig limit. I deleted some old tables in an attempt to acquire some space. This worked out. However when I look at the size of my *.mdf it still appears in excess of the 2 gigs . I know this isn't true since I deleted 500 megs of stuff. How do i reclaim the space (get the file size to report correctly) or do I need to even worry about it.
I created an instance which is NETSDK I created a password I don't know why my server choose the name FRANK i was expecting local. I have to use FRANKNETSDK or else i can't get my server to Start.

For quite some time nowI have been trying to give user rights to my MSDE , needless to say the fruits of my labor have turned up very little success.
So far i have tried using the osql commands to grant user access to my database. I have run the stored procedures(sp_grantlogin ,sp_grantdbaccess ) but to little avail!
So now i have taken a new approach i installed the Enterprise Manager. I have just a minor problem with this new strategy , i don't know how to use it!!
This is what i have prensently installed on my system: Visual studio.Net ,Microsoft SQL(MSDE) and finally the Enterprise Manager.
My Servername is FRANK. I have created an instance which is NetSDK (FRANKNETSDK) My SAPWD is Kildare I have Mixed Mode
Can anyone please tell me how i can use the Enterprise Manager to grant access to MSDE. I am sure you have all realized from all these insipid post that i have no experience. So please be explicit in all your details.
Having Problem connecting to Database with WebMatrix
When I try to ADD Database in WebMatrix through Sql Connection & enter USERNAME & PASSWORD it fails. Is there a way to create New USERNAME & PASSWORD? Perhaps through the Command Line Prompt?
I have never done anything with databases, so I am a newbie. My goal is to install an ASP.NET forum, but I need MSDE installed. I downloaded MSDE from the Microsoft website. When I run the setup.exe file, I get an error. It says:
A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exit.
I looked at the documentation but could not find anything usefull, what do I have to do to install it. Thanks in advance for responses.
I am newbie in ASP.NET and MSDE arena. I understand that MSDE has no GUI and I need to have MSDE tools to work with it. I have already installed ASP.NET 1.1 and Microsoft.NET SDK 1.1 and MSDE in my Windown Professional 2000 PC and I have run and tested for .aspx and its working perfectly. But I want to use MSDE to create some database driven web applications.
Could you please help me how I can do that? BTW, I installed Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator and its giving me SQLWebAdminStart.exe Application error and asking for debugging while opening the program. I am stranded what to do now?
I just installed MSDE off of disk that came with teach yourself asp.net in 24 hours. To get the program started you must go to run and type cmd and wait for the C prompt. I get this far, but I can't get a C prompt. It always comes up C:sql2ksp3> How do I get a C prompt from here. I know it must be something easy that I am just overlooking or forgot. Thanks Del Dobbs
