Windows Forms - How To Use SQL Server Express Database In Production
Feb 11, 2008
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.

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

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.

Hi all,
I have a site which used a SQL Express database. On my development machine, it works perfectly. As soon as I move it to the production machine, it doesn't work at all. I am pretty confused by what is going on and I really don't want to install Visual Studio on my production machine just to debug it. I am hoping someone might have an idea what could be happening.
Oh, and I have tried setting Everyone to Full Control on the App_Data directory just to test. Still breaks. Below is my web.config connection string:
<connectionStrings> <add name="database_sqlexpress" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase.mdf; integrated security=true; user instance=true"/></connectionStrings>

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.

Hi there. I've created a windows forms app that connects to a sql server express database. now that it's working on my box, i need to install the entire solution on the end user's machine.
what's the best way to move the database? I found this article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx
but i'm wondering if anyone can give me some insights based on your own experience.
I'm using ms visual studio 2005 and sql server express 2005.
I'm hoping that all i'll really have to do is copy everything over to the new machine and then edit my connection string in the .exe.config file for my app.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a windows app I am deploying by CD along with SQL Server - when I manually installed sql server my app can access the db (named instance, local system, mixed mode). I used the exact same settings to do an unattended install for sql express and it does not work. All the settings in the db look the same. Does anyone know what it could be?
Thanks.

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!!

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 "

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...

Q1: Can I just open these protocols I need (see web links below) and then close them down again after SQLCacheDependency has been enabled? Note: The website (asp.net 2.0/SQL server Express) operates OK right now with asp.net - but it does not have SQLCacheDependency enabled.
Problem: When I try to do this I keep on getting this error message:
"An error has occurred when establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections."
None of these 3 commands have worked (all give the same message above):
aspnet_regsql.exe -U user1 -P pwd1 -S server1/SQLEXPRESS -d myDBName -ed aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S server1/SQLEXPRESS -d myDBName -ed aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S .SqlExpress -d myDBName -ed
I am trying to run these commands via a MSTSC connection. Q2: Is that (terminal server) the problem (the "remote connection") complained of above ?
This is the command that worked on my local dev machine:
aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S .SqlExpress -d myDBName -ed
Q3: Must I really go through the procedure "How to: Configure Express to accept remote connections" at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914277http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx
I don't really want to have SQL server accepting any connections as the last time it was listening on these ports we had so many attacks being made that it was filling up the logs!
What I can't understand is that every night the database is backed up with the following command line code (operating as a Scheduled Task):
sqlcmd -s server1/SQLEXPRESS -i MW4BAK.SQL -E
Q4: So if the server is happy receiving commands from 'sqlcmd.exe' why does it have such problems with 'aspnet_regsql.exe'
Q5: If I grouped those statements I need to setup SQLCacheDependency under a Scheduled Task would they work (as there would presumably be no remote connection then) or is it something in the nature of the connection established which allows sqlcmd.exe to work but stops aspnet_regsql.exe?

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,
Is there any tool available to migrate the data from the SQL Server test database to SQL Server production database. Data Migration should be based on a condition which can be given as an input for a table by the user. The dependant tables also should be migrated based on the given condition. i.e data subsetting based on the matching conditions.
Ex : Salary > 2000
The rows of the table which matches the condition alone need to be migrated for the corresponding table. Also its dependant table's rows should be migrated based on the given condition. Please help me with a tool which can automate this.
Thanks,

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?

I have a 20 GB SS2005 database that I would like to be replicated to a dev server for testing purposes. I might have some issues with the firewall blocking ports. I haven't read up on the specifics of how log shipping works yet, but I assume that is the best approach. A daily transfer would suffice.
A few options I am considering:
1. use the built in stuff, but I'm not sure it will work with our security settings, and if the trans logs are large it might be strained.
2. writing a small custom app to zip up the log file then ftp them down to the dev server. This could run nightly.
3. some third party util, such as FolderShare could transfer the log files
Any comments or suggestions?

We have a production 2012 R2 SQL server that is not part of a domain. I have a database called CSSDC. I need to backup this database and make the BAK file available to a user on a different SQL server. Security is a concern. In order for this user to restore the database, they will have to be in the fixed server role sysadmins. I know I am going to have to use the Move with replace for the filegroups for the restore. Once the database is restored it will have to be altered to read-only. I would also like to remove the existing security and only have this new user access the read-only database.
