View 1 RepliesI am thinking of using my web database as the database to use for my program, though not sure how feasible due to connection speeds and having to transfer that info.
what I am using as the connection string is
con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=databse ipadress inserted here; Initial Catalog=databasename here;Integrated Security=True"; with real data obviously inserted into the ip and tables, but when i try and send values there it just hangs and then crashes. I am thinking its not finding the database. Is there something else im to do?
I am using the exact same code as when i use my own machine as the server, and it works great that way, only thing different is the trying to send to the web server.
I was thinking of replacing my desktop programs I do in Microsoft Access to SSEE. I am getting up to speed by some books and tutorials.
How would I distribute a program that has a SSEE database? I currently have in my application startup path a folder called "Database" that contains the .mdb, could I do the same thing with SQL Server. If so, what does that do to the connection string.
Thanks for any suggestions beforehand.
Hi All,
I am interested in synchronising 2 sdf files which are sitting on 2 different PDAs and I want to synchronise both of them with or without desktop application. C# applications are used to talk to the applications.
Is it possible or not and if possible how can i do that. Any code snippets or any links to similar forum posts or anything will be of great help. I am a C# programmer but not SQL Developer.

The sample application provided with Access Database Synchronizer fires a "A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT." exception on my WinCE 4.2 device.
I debugged it with VS2005 to see what was going on and found that the problem resides in the line:
m_connDesktop.Pull("MSysObjects","SELECT Name FROM MSysObjects WHERE Type=1 and flags=0",accessSysConnectString,RDATrackOption.TrackingOff,"Err_MSysObjects");
It seems that connection m_connDesktop is ok but calling Pull method fails.
I've verified that SSEvAccessSync service is started when ActiveSync detects device connection and that firewall rules are correctly updated.
Also, i verified my System.mdw and i discovered that there is no "MSysObjects" table (only MSysGroupList, MSysGroupMembers, MSysUserList and MSysUserMemberships queries are there).
Do you think the problem is there?
How can i solve it without damaging System.mdw?
I cannot figure out what's the purpose of this line of code, can you help me?
Hi,
I was migrating one of my applications to VS.NET 2008 to start testing the new platform and encountered an error. One of my application requires the use of System.Data.SqlServerCe namespace to create a SQL Server CE database on a desktop machine.
The error is raised when I try to use a SqlCeCommand to insert rows in a table using parameters. If the order of the fields in the INSERT command does not match the order of the fields in which the table was created, an error is raised.
Investigating further, I noticed that the INSERT command was trying to insert the value of a parameter in an incorrect field. For example, the value for the field23 was being inserted into field22.
It looks like the SQL CE engine is rearranging the fields in the INSERT command to match the order of the fields in the table, but forgets to rearrange the parameters of the SqlCeCommand as well.
I give the example codes in the next posts. I will give it in both VB.NET and C#.
For both versions, you just need to create a Windows Application and add a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. Insert the corresponding code into the Form1 partial class.
In the example, the constant RaiseError can be set to Boolean.True in order to raise the error. Set it to Boolean.False to execute correctly.
Hello
I am writing a Desktop application accessing a SSCE database. I am running Windows XP SP2, VS2005 SP1, and have SQLServerCE3.1 installed. Debugging the application shows that ds.m_spInit->QueryInterface() returns E_NOINTERFACE. I have checked that SSCE runtime library is installed, IDBCreateSession uuid exists in the registry and m_spInit.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SQLSERVERCE_3_0) return S_OK. Can you suggest me what need adding/installing to get the CSession.Open(datasource) working?
Thanks
Ares,
I have a small ASP.Net application developed in VS 2005 that I would like to deploy with SQL Express.
I have included the MDF file in the Application and added SQL Express as a pre-requisite for the Setup and Deployment project.
It installs SQL Express but when it tries to connect I receive:
"This is not a valid login Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM'."
I don't seem to have any options using the "prerequisite options in VS 2005 in terms of command line deployment parameters.
Likewise I would prefer to attach the database to the instance (because I need to write a connection string from a PDA using RDA and I have zero clue how to do RDA directly back to the file).
Thanks for any help!
Am I correct in assuming that installing a SQL EE application on to a local runtime desktop would require a lot of experienced user intervention to install the SQL to each local cpu? Can a SQL app be installed automatically w/o a user intervening?

Hi
I create a small aplication to lookup postal codes, it uses only some basic queries. It's a Winforms (using Visual Studio 2008) application, as MS put as local datase SQL Server Compact 3.5, I use it.
The application works fine it has only tree tables (with the postal codes of USA, Canada and Mexico) using the SQL Server Compact 3.5 database file.
I create a setup project and made and installer, in this case I follow the indications from MS to copy to the application folder alld the SQL Server dll files needed.
In Windows XP, the aplication works fine after installation. But in Windows Vista not. I found that as the installer put all files unde C:Programa filesMy CompanyPostal Codes folder, the application need's administrator permission to run.
I don't know how to change the database file to another location in order to avoid this problem.
Do you know how to avoid this? Maybe using a different path for my database file (if this can you tell me how to make the connection string to works properly) Or making the app to requires the administrator permission (I know tha in VS 2008 this can be done, biy not idea of how?
Thanks for you valuable help.

Hi there,I sincerely hope that someone out there can help. I have twoinstances of the SQL 2000 Desktop Engine running. One is on my localmachine for development and the other is on another machine on ournetwork which is the production environment. I have built an Access2003 front end application which connects to this database. Thisworks fine locally, as you would expect. I successfully installed thedatabase on the production machine and am able to connect to it viaAccess 2003 (using the Data Link Properties window) and from thirdparty database manager software (similar to Enterprise Manager). I amnot able to to connect to the database via my application.I am using the "sa" account with a strong password. This is myconnection string:strConnection = "Provider=sqloledb;DataSource=server02;UserId=sa;Password=strong;Initial Catalog=Test"The error I'm getting is:"Connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is eitherclosed or invalid in this context."The connection string is the only thing that changes in my code when Iswitch from my local to my production database. Is there some reasonthat I can't use the "sa" account in this fashion that I'm not awareof? I'd rather not use integrated security for simplicity's sake asthis is a small, internal application. Also, I would have thoughtthat if that was the issue, I couldn't use "sa" at all, even locally.I'm going to post to the Access group as well but thought someone heremight have some advice to offer as well.Thanks,Barb

hello folks
i have recently started to work with the analysis services and i am having some problems.
i have made a web application that for now just tries to connect to an analysis server.
The server is installed on an xp sp 2 system.
for testing, i used my local computer, which is running also win xp sp2. After deploying, the application can connect to the AS server on the other machine. the problem occurs when i try to deploy the applicatuion on the production server, which is running win 2k3 server on 32 bit. When deploying, i use the same connection string, so it should try to connect to the AS server installed on a win xp sp2 system.
The first thing that came to my mind was to check the MDAC versions, be cause of the message: "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."
on my computer, where the application worked ok, the version is MDAC 2.8 SP 1 Windows XP SP 2
on the win2k3 server, the MDAC version is : MDAC 2.8 SP2.... i thought it was the version of the service pack, so o searched for the update of MDAC 2.8 SP1, trying to install mdac 2.8 sp2 to see if i was to see the same error, but i found that mdac 2.8 sp2 is only for win2k3 server, and for win xp is mdac 2.8 sp1, according to this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/884103
Now i got confused and have no clues how to make this work...
Can anybody give any hint?
Hi,
I am developing a windows application that needs to communicate with a remote SQL server 2005 database. Server allows remote connections and MSDTC service also running. Do I need to run MSDTC service on the client machine where I use desktop application ? any ideas ? It's throwing some error like
An error has occurred while 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.
But my SQL Server allows remote connection, and I am able to do a select statement.
But when I insert/update anything, it's throwing this error. I guess some problem with MSDCT. Anybody have any idea ?

Hi Everybody,
I have made one simple application in asp.net 2.0 using VS 2005. I got following error
Server Error in '/[applicationname]' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An error has occurred while 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. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
- When i got on my local machine i solved it by deleting sqlexpress directory from user's account and it was due to that I have installed VS 2005 on machine and by default it installs sql express with it.
- But I could not solved this error on my Development Server wherein there is no VS 2005. Only .Net framework 2.0 & 1.1 are there. My all other applications are running well.
So if any one have idea regarding the solution for this error then please reply me soon. It is very urgent.
Thanks to all of you.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I just need a desktop version of SQL 7.0 installed for local development. (Not being used as a server) Do I just need a CAL license?
Thanks!
My organization supports both SQL 7 and SQL 2K. Therefore I have the Enterprise Manager
for SQL 2K on my desktop (it accesses both SQL 7 & SQL 2K, but the SQL 7 EM won't access
both).
I installed the SQL 7 desktop edition on my NT 4 (SP 6) workstation, but only the server (not
client connectivity or client tools).
When I attempt to perform a new server registration using EM (with the desktop server running),
I get the following message:
"SQL Server does not exist or access is denied"
I am attempting to logon as "sa" with a blank password since this will be my very first access of
the installed DB.
Startup of server specifies that the "local system" account be used. Server starts up fine as best
as I can tell.
For client connectivity I have both TCP and NAMED PIPES available.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!!
Thanks Gary Andrews
andrews_gary_w@solarturbines.com
P.S.
Where blank passwords are used, do I enter a single space or not enter anything
and just press enter?
Is it necessary to have a MS Loopback Adaptor to install SQL Server desptop edition at my home ? ( Otherwise i am unable to connect to the server from the EM )
Thanks,
Deepak.
I have installed Sql 7.0 desktop edition on Win 98 with IE5 and am having a problem starting the Sql server.
It auto registered the server under my machine name. It was returning a network connection error so I deleted it and tried to add one with the name (local). Enterprise Manager then returned an error saying one was already registered under that name.
Anyideas?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
View 21 Replies View RelatedI have read all posts in this forum, but the answers for the main questions are still not completely clear for me. My scenario is smilar than other described cases.
I would like to send a large amount of data to a Windows CE device which runs SQL Server Mobile Edition 2005. Replication is not possible, cause the desktop size of software sometimes uses Oracle or earlier versions of MSSQL Server (for e.g. MSSQL 7.0).
For syncrhonizing data we have two possibilities:
1. sending the data in some format (csv, xml, etc...) to the Windows CE device, parse this file and insert the data into a database, the speed of this is unacceptable, so if it is possible I wouldn't like to use this method
2. Create the SDF file on desktop side, it would be very fast, because it makes unnecessary the post processing on a slow Windows CE device. So please give me a short (YES / NO is completely enough) answer to this: is there any *LEGAL* way to create an SDF file for SQL Server Mobile Edition without buying VS2005 or MSSQL2005 licenses for the desktop computer?
Thx for any help in advance. If the question was answered clear earlier, sorry for wasting time. I think a lot of us struggling with this problem.
Hello,
Is it possible to create a .SDF file at the develop machine?I want to write an exe which creates a sdf.So, my customer will be able to create a sdf and import this sdf to the device.
