Why Is My VS2008 Project All Of A Sudden Using SQL CE 3.5?
Dec 1, 2007
Hi. I recently upgrading my dev machine to Vista and VS 2008 simultaneously (clean install) and upgraded my VS2005 project, which was previously using SQL CE 3.1. Now when I compile and run it, I get a database exception telling me to upgrade my database to version 3.5!
First of all, I tried running the Repair() method to upgrade the database file, but then I get an exception telling me the password is incorrect (it most certainly is not, I didn't change a thing), so it won't even let me upgrade it.
Secondly, I even tried removing the reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe and manually adding the verison 3.1 reference back, but it still for some reason loads version 3.5 instead of version 3.1.
So! Please either tell me how I can properly upgrade my users' database file to version 3.5 and have it work with the latest libraries, or tell me how I can at least use the old libraries like I was under VS2005. The .dll files are all present in the project and I haven't changed them at all, they're being properly copied to the output directory and everything. I even checked the "Specific Version" attribute on the reference in the project, but no help.
Do I have to do something special to tell my application to load the local copy of the assembly as opposed to, say, one in the GAC?
I've just upgraded my C# app from .NET 2.0 to 3.5 in VS 2008. Now my SQL Server CE database file won't open. When I run the app, it falls over on the connection.Open() method call, saying I have to upgrade the database to 3.5. It says if it was created in 3.0 or 3.1 to run the compact/repair utility. Well, I did that - a full compaction - but it didn't help at all. According to somewhere on MSDN, I should get an option to upgrade if I reconnect to the database in Server Explorer. Not so. It connects quite happily. If I try to connect to some earlier copies of the database, I do get this dialog, so I am assuming that it has already been upgraded. But then why won't the damn thing work?
I tried running the command-line upgrade.exe too, but being a bit clueless when it comes to the command line, I couldn't get it to work. Kept telling me the thing wouldn't run in Win32 mode, even though I was running it from the command prompt (sigh!).
When I try to convert a report project from 2005, it seems to convert fine but then the project closes because VS2008 doesn't support that project type (.rptproj ?). I see that there is a report project type under VB (and I assume C#) but there is no Business Intelligence project catagory. It's a new machine and I did install SQL Server 2005 before VS2008.
I'm in the process of moving a bunch of projects and websites from another machine and got hung up on this one. Any pointers greatly appreciated.
I have both vs2005 and vs2008 installed. I'm working with a .Net Compact Framework 3.5 Smart Device Project.
If I refrence the System.Data.SqlClient.dll (Version 3.0.3600.0 Runtime v2.0.50727) C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.5DevicesClientSystem.Data.SqlClient.dll
When I deploy the application I get an error ".Net Compact Framework v2.0 could not be found Please install it and run the setup again"
Studio is : Deploying 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerClientv2.0wce500ARMV4isql.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB'
We tested this on a PC without vs2005 and it seems to work fine.
For some reason in a Team Foundation Team Project that has multiple project types (SSRS, SSIS, WebSite, C# Business DLL...), the SSIS project makes itself the startup project to the team project. If I explicitly set another project as the startup project to the team project and then select an SSIS package in the SSIS project in the team project, the SSIS project becomes the startup project automatically.
I've never had any issues logging in, and now today I'm getting this error: Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database "HRIService" requested by the login. The login failed. Any have some knowledge to drop on me concerning this? Here is the entire error:Server Error in '/HRIService' Application.

hi, i am having sql7 with sp2. Recently our server got bounced back. No body stopped the server, there are no work load at that time. Server suddenly stopped and started. It is weired. Can anyone have any clues , how it happened and why it happened. Thanks!
I work for a small analytical laboratory. I'm mostly the net admin guy, but I do the db stuff (poorly) and other things.
Last night right before closing my users started experiencing bigtime slowdown. This morning it was magically better for a short duration. As the day went on the problems got worse.
We use MS Access as a 'front end' to talk to the SQL server. My users would go into fields and toggle on (or off) something they wanted. Sometimes the system acted as in the toggle never happend (cant generate a report without the right options toggled).
I'm not very DB savvy, so I checked all the other things I was having a problem with that day to see if it was direct correlation.
A few people have suggested I defrag the hdd as well as the SQL db. I have maintenance plans set up to back up the db and transaction logs daily (and weekly). However the maintenance plan that had "reorganize data and index pages" checked has been disabled for 2 months, since it seems it never finishes. It would run, and then one of my other plans would run (several hours later on the weekend).. and I'd come in on monday and find 3 maintenance plans all bound up.
Usually I had to stop the SQL server and re-start it as the 'stop' option for maintenance plans wasn't being responsive.
At any rate. I'm looking for suggestions. The DB is (after a shrink) 7GB. I don't think is excceptionally large, so I'm not sure why I'm experiencing these problems.
I found some scripts for DBCC SHOWCONTIG and DBCC INDEXDEFRAG. But I'm not sure how to execute them in a scheduled fashion? Is this just done in the maintenance jobs?
My users need to use this system (reliably) asap tomorrow. I'm going in 2 hours before the office opens in hopes of saving the day and anything I could arm myself with to make this process easier would be completely awesome.
So with that in mind. I'll stop rambling.
Ah yes, some information regarding the system:
Windows SBS Server 2k3 SQL Server 2000 w/ SP3 (or maybe 4?) (came with SBS 2k3)
Hardware: AMD X2 4800+ 2GB ECC RAM 160GB x 2 Sata Raid config. 1x Gigabit Network Card
I have an asp page that inserts several pieces of input into an SQL database. Page was working fine, and Im not sure what could have changed to cause the following error when data is entered into one of the fields:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'room'.
/Global.asp, line 20
where global.asp line 20 is oConn.execute cSql
In this case the text I input was: this room is big
I also tried input of fdsa, and recieved the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid column name 'fdsa'.
/Global.asp, line 20
More Details:
The field I am inserting this value into is a (nvarcar(1000),null).
None of the other fields on the page have a problem, and this is the last value insert into the database.
Any suggestions or ideas on where I should look to begin solving this issue.
I am working on a web application at work where we are using a SQL Express 2005 database.
We have 2 environments, my development environment which involves my local machine and VS 2005 Pro, and the database on a seperate server.
The client environment is on another server on another network also running SQL Express.
I was working on Friday, everything was fine and dandy. I was sick yesterday. When I come in today with no code changes (checked SVN) I am now suddenly getting timeout problems.
Error Type: Database
Message: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
I thought maybe this was just a problem with my machine so I've checked another development box here, same problem.
Also, the client emailed and they are getting the same problem. Thier environment is using a compiled version of the code from last week. No changes.
Did something happen yesterday or today that requires a patch or upgrade? Why would these failures suddenly appear? What can I do to troubleshoot this?
I have been developing a database in SQL Server Management Studio Express for the past few weeks. I have been writing stored procedures and functions, creating and deleting tables, etc., etc. and everything has been working just fine. Today, however, if I try to run any of the functions I have written I get "Invalid object name 'functionName'." This occurs even if I create a new function, execute the CREATE statement. Then if I refresh the Functions folder I can see my newly created function, but I cannot run it. This is terribly frustrating.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might have changed? I am logging in as the same user, on the same machine that I have always logged in on. I created the database that is giving the error.
When I right-click SQLEXPRESS in the object browser, and go to Permissions in the Server Properties dialog, no permissions are selected as "granted" for my login name under any of the Logins/Roles. (ex. BUILTINAdministrators: my login name is listed in the "Explicit permissions for BUILTINAdministrators" list, but no permissions are granted. If I go down the list selecting [checking] the various permissions, then close the dialog. When I open the dialog again, rows have been added to the list that have the Permission name, then "sa" listed as the Grantor, with that row checked. But, there are still no checks next to my login name.)
The only thing that has changed on my machine, that I am aware of, is that a Windows Authentication update ran on my machine earlier today. I am using Windows Authentication in my SQL Server instance. I assume it has something to do with that.
Please help. This is urgent. We have a presentation on this project in 3 days. ugh.
I have a database with tables that are used for various front-ends, Access 97 and ASP. All of a sudden, my "Stores" table will not let me add, edit, delete, insert records. I checked security permissions everywhere and cannot figure out why this is happening. Is there something linked to this that might be running a process that might be causing this?
I have several databases on a 2012 instance that are mirrored to a second server, and log ship to a third server for reporting purposes.Recently, for two of the databases, the log shipping has been failing at least once per day, and sometimes more often.
i have deleted and recreated both the mirroring and log shipped databases on several occasions, but the problem is still happening.The log shipping restore jobs don't get marked as failed in the job history, but if you expand the history you can see errors such as this:
Restoring a new backup of the database cures the problem for anywhere between 15minutes and 12 hours, but it always seems to re-occur.I have run DBCC on the source databases with no errors reported, and five other databases have the log shipping working without errors.
I've got a job that sends out the results of a stored procedure in anemail via xp_sendmail. The job code is as follows:DECLARE @rlist varchar(1000)Declare @Q varchar(100)Select @Q = 'EXEC impact_exec..TLD_Reconciliation'Declare @Sub nvarchar(60)Select @Sub = 'TLD Reconciliation - Condensed Report'SELECT @rlist = 'jmiller@wbhq.com'exec master..xp_sendmail @recipients=@rlist,@query=@Q, @subject=@SubThe error message I get when running this in Query Analyzer is:ODBC error 7410 (42000) Remote access not allowed for Windows NT useractivated by SETUSER.In Enterprise Manager the owner of the stored procedure in question isdbo. Our SQL guru here suggested I change the owner of the storedprocedure from dbo to myself.I did that and got a warning message that changing the owner willbreak connections. (I'm paraphrasing here because I don't rememberthe exact wording of the warning.) Anyhoo, after changing the owner,and then trying to run the code in Query Analyzer I got the errormessage that the stored procedure could not be found.I'm not sure what to do here. I've never seen the error messagebefore. This same query worked just fine a couple of days ago.Any ideas?Thanks,Jennifer
Hi, We're running a replicationprocess for months now, and 2 days ago it broke down, for no appearant reason I can detect. The setup is this: A SQL2K server has a publication defined on a database, consisting of several dozen tables. It is a transactional publication, running continuously. There is 1 subscriber, a SQL2005. Both servers run with Win2003 and all have the latest servicepacks. Up until 2 days ago there was hardly a problem. Then I received errormessages on being unable to load into a specific table. That table had been changed on that day, namely, 1 column was changed from CHAR(13) to CHAR(12). I do not know if this has any relation with the problem we experience. Currently the databases are structural the same. I could not get the replicationprocess to work and deleted all, publication on server1 and subscription on server2. I tried to setup a new transactional publication, which is not a problem, however, I cannot create a succesful subscription. I receive the message:
The process could not bulkcopy into table 'Tablename', where tablename is the changed table...
Again, both tables in publisher and subscruiber are the same in all respects. When I remove the offending table from the publication, the same message now with another tablename... Removing this table will result in again this message with another tablename...
I am really flabbergasted. Any idea where to look at?
I've been building and running script tasks for years without issue. Then all of sudden last week Visual Studio starts showing the "Task is configured to pre-compile the script, but binary code is not found" error anytime I open a script -- even I make no changes. If I copy the dtsx package to another machine, the script compiles fine and I can see the binary data in the raw .dtx file -- so I know the code is correct.
I can also reproduce the error simply by adding a new script task, going into "Design Script", make no changes to the default code (which is basically one line: Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success) and simply press "OK" on the Script Task Editor.
I've been trying to find some VS setting somewhere that might stop the script IDE from producing the binary code, but I can't. It doesn't seem to be project setting, because all my SSIS projects are now suffering this problem on my main dev box.
I have had SQL2005 on a server for a very short period of time. Today I found that I am not able to execute an SSIS package in debug. It give me an error stating that the evaluation period has expired for data transformation services. I went to check the version by querying, but nothing happens when I click on the Server Management Studio link.
Has anyone seen this before or how long the trial version should last?
Does anyone know what version may have been installed on my server?
I have been working on some SSIS packages for a while now and today while i was working i was trying to create a new connection and in the process there was an error and it said the BIDS has to be closed and i closed it but later when i open BIDS and try to open my project(.sln) from the file menu to work on the half done package it pops up an error which shows the path to my project location on the first line and next statement on the pop up error box says:
"Make Sure the application for the project type (.dtproj) is installed."
I tried to check some forums in which some suggested to try installing SP1 which i tried but ..i dont know why but the SP1 fails to install (i dont know if its causing problem becoz i already installed SP2 as i had some other problem before for which the cure was to install SP2).
Did anyone here face such a problem before ?
I'd really appreciate if the experts here can tell a cure for this problem.
I have a Visual Studio 2005 solution which contains a Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) project.
In this solution I have explicitly set a Web application project as startup project, but whenever I edit a DTS package within the SSIS project, VS automatically sets the SSIS project as startup project and the package I edit as startup object.
Needless to say, this may cause some really unwanted incidents when running the solution - thinking that you're about to run the Web application project (that was explicitly set as startup project), but instead, you run the edited package in the SSIS project.
Is there any way to avoid having the SSIS project automatically setting itself as startup project, any workaround here at all? :)
in order to maintain a deployed project into an Integration Services Catalog I'd like to know if it is possible to import it into a new project inside SSDT.
I want to update value of a custom field for a perticular project in Project Server 2007 using PSI.
I have created 5 enterprise custom fields(A,B,C,D,E) through PWA/Server Settings.
I want to search all Projects on Server. If any project is having value for custom field A then I want to update rest of the custom fields(B,C,D,E) for that perticular project.
I have a very small project written in VB.Net 2005 using the SQL Server 2005 SSiS DTSx package.
I took a SQL Server 2000 dts package and using the SQL Server 3005 legacy tools migrated it so I could still use the package withing SQL 2005 until I can build one using BI/SSIS.
Anyway,I added the reference Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS so I could then use the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime so I can execute the commands:
Dim oApp As New Application Dim oPkg As New Package oPkg = oApp.LoadPackage(g_DTSx_Directory & "AOC copy Generic1 CSV to AOC_verify_file_1.dtsx", Nothing) Dim oResults As DTSExecResult oResults = oPkg.Execute
Ok. That works fine. Executes without a hitch. So now I try and create a setup project for this and I use the setup wizard.
During the creation of the setup project I get a message that states: The following files may have dependencies that cannot be determined automatically. Please confirm that all dependencies have been added to the project. C:windowssystem32msxml6.dll
OK. The dll is part of the reference I mentioned above and I have no idea what other dependencies it may have.
How do I find this out?
Has anyone else created a project like this and experenced the same?
I am on a clean build running WinXP Pro with SP2 - VS2005 with SP1 and the SQL Server 2005 tools.
I've got an SSIS solution file with project deployment model in VS 2013 and would like to deploy that to SSISDB on different environments.All these days I followed the regular way to create a project in SSISDB and deploy it to that. Now want to find out if i can automate this process and so got some questions
1. Can we automate the process of creating a project on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name? This will be like when we do a deployment it should check if the project exists or not on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name, if the project exists we just deploy the packages in the project and if the project does not exists in SSISDB it will create that project and deploy the packages.
2. Can we also automate the process of creating environments? In traditional way we manually create the environment variables under environment tab of SSISDB, but can we make that also as part of deployment? Like when we are releasing to Dev server we look if that particular Dev variable exists on that server, if it exists we just update the existing stuff and if it does not exists we just create it.
I have visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005 with integration service installed on my machine. Couple of days ago, I installed visual studio 2008 professional. When I go to create SSIS project I dont see it in visual studio 2008. What do I have to do to make it appear in visual studio 2008 so that I can create SSIS projects.
We have an application in which one particular stored procedure goes from .3 second response times to 20-40 second response times, suddenly, at seemingly random times of the day. Recompiling that particular stored proc fixes the problem temporarily.
The 3 main tables have between 500K and 1.5M records, are defragged daily and contain the past 42 days of work. Old records are deleted once daily. The slowdowns do not conincide with the deletions, occuring without a clear pattern. Nothing else on going on on that server -- it is dedicated to this one app. Nothing shows in event log. It is clustered Windows 2003, with SQL Server 2005 RTM version. SP2 of SQL2005 due for an install next Monday. This behavior also was seen when the app was on a different server running SQL2K SP3, so think the underlying problem is some sort of design issue with the app, not a SQL server bug. Has anyone seen something like this and what suggestions do you have for doing a permenant fix? Think that a recompile of the sp causes a new execution plan, but why would that be necessary daily or even several times a day? 30-50 users are banging away at it. The app is an order entry system. The tables contain what are basically order histories and label data. Am running out of good ideas. Thanks for any help.
I fail to use project professional 2003 to access to the project server 2003 using MSDE 2000 in local area network, following message was shown,

I have seen these pages with similiar cases but can't help.
I have VS2008 (9.0.21022.8 RTM) and I cannot get SQL Compact 3.5 to work with it. Whenever I attempt to open a compact edition database, I get a message that "The operation cannot complete, click OK on the "Package Load Failure" dialog, reinstall SQL Server Compact 3.5 and then from the command line run devenv /resetskippkgs. I've tried that twice and no joy. I can connect and work just fine with SSMS 2005, but I cannot get it to work in VS2008.
Also when in VS2008 and I go to Server Explorer | Data Connections | Add Connection, I do not have Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 in the list.
I save Table size and recs. no every day. and check it some days.
... insert into @t exec sp_msforeachtable 'exec sp_spaceused ''?''' ...
But Today I saw sudden increase size in a table. about 128 MB in a day. (Average Growth fro this table was 4 or 5 MB in a day)This growth was for Only 4222 Records. While for more number of records (about 7000) in yesterday we had only 2 MB GRowth!
This Table information (Now):
sp_spaceused 'Table1'
Result:
name ---Rows --reserved --data
Table1--1021319--460328 KB --283104 KBI Try to gess The reason. I copy These new records to another table.But The result was more strange : on new table the size of these record was : < 1 MB I copied All records to another table . The size was : 148 MB (while this is 283 MB in my real database)
I have VS2008 installed which has installed SQLEXPRESS. But it seems not all of it.
I want to be able to create tables and generally mess about with SQLEXPRESS without VS2008, is it safe to install Sql Express from this site that will hopefully? install all the management tools? Will this action compromise the VS2008 installation? Will I need to uninstall all the SQL Server stuff that is currently installed?
I am a complete noob when it comes to SQL Express having done all my SQL using Access.
I just installed VS2008 RTM and noticed that it really wants me to use 3.5 instead of 3.1. As I am doing most of my SSCE work through the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio (its query editor is still far superior to VS'), I found that I can still use 3.1 without much trouble (so long as I manually browse and add the 3.1 reference to my project).
That said, I'd like to use 3.5. My two questions are: - Is the SSCE 3.5 version included in VS2008 final? I noticed the dlls are all over a month old. Can I redistribute these with my app? - Will there be support in SQL 2005 or SQL 2008 for connecting to 3.5 databases? I know that a new SQL server 2008 CTP was released, but haven't seen mention of SSCE support. I'd really hate to lose the great query editor of the Management Studio when moving to 3.5.
I was initially interested in building my small retail app on Framework 3.5, until just now when I saw the download size. I won't make a single sale with that as a prerequisite.
I would, however, like to use VS2008 for this. If I target Framework 2.0, will I still be able to use SQLCE v3.5? The new SET IDENTITY INSERT functionality is an absolute requirement. (Note: I haven't installed VS2008 yet--I'm still investigating options.)
