It seems that i can not connect to the abc.mdf in SSMSE while the VB program is running. (ERROR: Database 'C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) )
If i connect to the abc.mdf first in SSMSE, then run the VB program afterwards, it gives me the error on this line -- sqlConnection1.Open()
I want to be able to access the abc.mdf database with both SSMSE and VB at the same time. Could anyone help me on this ?
I am working through the book ASP.Net Unleashed Second Addition. I am trying to open a simple database connection. (using the sample "pubs" db from SQL Server)I have copied the author's code exactly, but it just won't work.

I'm trying to connect to the northwind database thats available online using c# and SQL 2005, both express editions. i used the following command
sqlcmd -S yourServerSQLExpress -E -iinstnwnd.sql
and it connects to the northwind database. but when it comes to the part where i have to select the data source, there are only 2 available - microsoft access database file, microsoft SQL server database file. but according to the microsoft books that i'm following, there should also be a "micosoft SQL server" in the data source list. because of this i cant connect to the database.
We have here a WinForms Application on laptops that uses SQL Express as its database. Initially all was going well, then it was decided that the laptop Hard Drive should be encrypted. Thats when the fun started.
It is now very hit and miss as to whether we can connect to SQL and service pack 2 will not install.
So now to the question :-
Does anyone know if there are any compatablity issues with SQL 2005 Express and hard disk encryption (particularly BeCrypt).
I've used Sql Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003 for a few years. I've started a new position and they have access to Sql Server 2005 Standard and Visual Basic 2005 Express which I'd like to use for a new project. So I installed Sql Server 2005 and then VB 2005 Express on my workstation. I didn't choose the Sql Server option for VB Express because I already had Sql Server 2005 Standard installed with a simple database created. I created a simple vb project that justs connects to the database but I get the following error.
Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. I looked at permissions in the database and it looks ok. I'm the db owner and I'm using Windows Auth. My connection string is
I thought I'd look at the starter kit to get some ideas about what the problem is, but when I started the movie starter kit project, it was upset that I didn't have Sql Server 2005 EXPRESS installed. Yea, but I do have Sql Server 2005 Standard installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have developed a Windows App in VS.NET 2005 which connects to a SQL 2005 Express database.
Now I want to install the app and database on the network and I am getting an error "File 'file_name' is on a network device not supported for database files"
I've downloaded the sql server 2005 management studio express executable to my second hard drive, as there is no room on my main drive
However, when I try to install, the program shows me both drives, and shows that there is not enough room on my main drive, but it does not allow me to change the installation to my second drive.
I have previously installed the main sql express product to my second drive with visual studio. There's loads of room.
Can anyone give me a clue as to why this might be happening.
Hi, i am new to sql server and visual basic, i need to connect my sql server database to a new application i've developed in visual basic 2005 express. Can any one tell me the steps to do this. Many Thanks.
Hi am very new with VB.net (Visual Studio 2005) and the first time try to use the sql server 2005 express. I did create a trial.mdf (local server) and complete procedure to attach the trial1.mdf in Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express.

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).

SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
Hi,I've an account with a hosting service provider online for SQL Server database. I've downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express from ASP.Net. How can I use it to connect to my SQL Server Database which is sitting on remote server? The hosting provider gave me following things to connect to the remote database.Server NameDatabase NameUser NamePasswordRegards,A.K.R
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the error:<<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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.
On my home machine without permanent network connections enabled, I cannot get the Management Studio connect to the database server. Always get this error:
Cannot connect ot MPLIAMSQLEXPRESS
Additional Information:
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, erro: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)(Microsoft SQL Server)
I have used the SQL Surface Area Configuration Tool to reset the defaults to allow remote connections, stopped and restarted the server, but still get the same message.
It looks like I'll be assigned with development and database management utilizing Microsoft Office Sharepoint Services and saw that there are some issues as it can become quite unwieldy.
I was wondering what difficulties to expect from MOSS and/or Sharepoint in terms of managing and backing up. Any tips or suggestions?
Hey all! I am new in this form and also new with the SQL serve. I have installed that free express edition of SQL server 2005 and when i am trying to connect to server from my C#.net application i am not able to do it and when i am trying to degug it gives me the error that is the user is not SQL thrusted user. I am able to connect directly thru SQL server using this userid and password but not thru VWD 2005 Express application.
I have read online that so many people are having that problem. so is it the problem of swl server Express edition or do i have to make some setting to connect to the application.
Please please please please someone guide me . I am stuck here in the beginning only. I would really appreciate it.
the code that i wrote is here:----
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
In a dataset for a report, one of the column is "age group" with 6 different type of 10-year age groupings, <40, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+. I am having a hard time to filter in/out the "<40" and "80+" in the report. SSRS does not seem to understand the "<" and "+" in a string. I need to be able to filter in/out one/both of this two age groupings on some matrix table. Any suggestion. Thanks.
I am new to this type of programming and and have read all articles on adding an image to the database and it seems they all use sql queries to add an image but I want to add an image at design time. I am using Visual Basic 2005. I am also using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition to try the same thing. I am trying to build a Translator program for english to Brazilian Portuguese and the reason I want to add the images is so that when I translate the word cat from english to Portuguese, I can also show an image of a cat. Can anyone please help me
Hi, I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
" Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251 "
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S. I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.
I can connect to this instance using both oSQL or sqlcmd and can select from the tables within BlueTarp, but my web app won't connect, and I can't figure out why!!
When I installed SQL Express, I used a named instance, called "SQLExpress".
I'm using mixed mode authentication.
One strange thing is that I can connect to either SQLExpress or MSSQLSERVER instances, but they appear to be the same instance -- I can use bluetarp in both.
when I use SQLExpress for instance name in web.config I get "SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
when I use MSSQLServer for instance name in web.config I get "Invalid connection"
And in fiddling with the web.config, I somehow did something to get a machine.config error, something like "machine.config couldn't be loaded because of an unloaded appdomain".
It's driving me nuts because I've spent a good 40 hours on this stupid problem, throwing the whole margin down the toilet.
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and haven't worked with SQL Server for a couple of years. Now it seems I'm getting back into it. I have SQL Express and SQL 2005 installed on an XP sp2 machine with IIS 5.1. I have a C#/ASP.NET web app in Visual Studio 2005 that keeps getting an error on attempting to connect (SqlConnection object). It's a generic error saying a probable cause is SQL Express default setup not allowing remote connections. Remote connections are turned on for both TCP and UDP. I can connect from within a small C# windows application using the same uid and pwd, so I suspect it's something related to IIS talking to SQLExpress. I would appreciate any help on other things to check. I am also fairly new to using IIS in the development environment. Thanks
I have an very big application written in vb6 running on msde 2000. I tried to change it to sql express 2005 and I cannot connect to the database. I wrote a sample app in vb6 using adodc and it works fine. From the other app I get no connection. I copied the same connection string!. I do not use the adodc control.I connect with a connection object.I have enabled pipes and tcp/ip. Any ideas or suggestions more than welcome.
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
I've installed, with default settings, VS 2005 and Server 2005 Express and cannot get VS2005 to connect. This is the error:
Unable to open the physical file "..path...mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
I shutdown Server 2005 but that didn't change anything. Any ideas?
I have installed MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition on my Notebook (WinXP Pro SP2). And it's working fine. Then I tried installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1. There is no error during installation and it seems to be working as I can see the SQL Server (MSSQLServer) service is running. As SQL server configulation manager., the protocal shared memory , named Pipes and TCP/IP are enabled.
But when I want to add connection using VWD 2005 by pointing to datasource (MS SQL Server database file and selecing file from .mdf file from SQL sample database file. Then test connection, I got a error that "An error has occurred while establishing a conneciton to the server. when connecting to SQL server 2005, this failure may be casued the the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Interfaces, error: 26- Error locating server/instance specified)
Can you please advise what the missing part of my configulation ?
I'm new to using sql express 2005 as the database, so I apologize if my question is very basic.
I can connect to db through sql mngmt studio, but I don't know how to connect through application code. The authentication mode is windows. I'm having trouble with the provider in the application code.
Can someone please tell me where I can find more detailed information on available providers for sql express?
Thanks for any help, as I'm against a tight deadline.
I am trying to connect to SQL Server Express 2005 from a remote connection through the internet using an IP address in a string like this;
Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
the error I am getting is this
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
anyone have any suggestions or maybe another way to achieve this type of connection?
