When I am in Visual Studio 2005, and I try to add an SQL database, I get the following error "generating user instances in sql server is disabled. use sp_configure user instances enabled to generate user instances."
I am currently using SQL server 2005 Express.
What do I need to do, to create an SQL database? Thanks in advance.
I have recently returned to developing a website using Visual Web Developer Express 2008. I want to store information in a database. I have SQL Server 2005 Express edition installed on my pc.
When I try to Add New Item -> SQL Database from VWD2008 by right clicking in the App-Data folder and completing the dialogue I get the following error message:
Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure ‘user instances enabled' to generate user instances.
I have SQL Server Management Studio installed but do not seem to be able to resolve this issue.
My operating system is windows XP Home SP2.
Some guidance on solving this would be appreciated.
Many thanks

I get the above error when I attempt to add an SQL Database item into my VS (C#) project. I do not understand what needs to be done to correct the problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You,

Hi,
I nearly went nuts before finding out that SqlExpress Names Instances don't listen on Port 1433. Having discovered that I now think I can nominate a specific port, is that correct.?
My main question. I copied my databases from my development machine to a server, which will be accessed from an internal domain, and also through VPN tunnels. Should I change from User Instances on the server, and if so, how do I do this.?
My original application wasn't using User Instances, but chnaged to them somehow, when my PC had a name change.

Hi all,
This is my first C# (2.0) Windows based app accessing a local SQL Server database. Ive build a couple of web based apps using C#.
First I just copied a datbase access wrapper class from one of my web apps and used that. It works, but, the database shown in Server Explorer in VS2005 shows the table as empty. The table in /bin/ however, is updated as expected. Before I realised that there were seperate instances of the database i stripped everything down to a very simple example
[code]
string sConnectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database1.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True";
SqlCommand foo = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO tblTest (foo) VALUES ('atest')");
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString);
conn.Open();
foo.Connection = conn;
foo.ExecuteNonQuery();
foo.Dispose();
conn.Close();
[/code]
This little tester windows based app has a simple tester drag and dropped grid view in it. When i run /pathToApp/bin/Debug/<AppName>.exe, independantly of VS, the grid view is full of the value "atest" as expected, but not when ran under visual studio. As I said above i found (at least i think this is right) there is a debug and user instance of the database. So im guessing I need two connection strings if i want to update both whilst dev'ing the application.
Ive had a look throuhg connectionstring.com and, to be honest, im confused... Any help for what the second connection string should be would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks.
Hi. I am trying to connect to a database but keep encountering the same error. I have a free hosting account with quantasoft (qsh.eu) who fully support SQL express user instances. I have also used the connection string generator on their site. This is the result of the error.

When i remove the database= tag i get this
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file H:HomeWebsqsh.eu ransmission_24be67cf-3e4c-4852-b3ec-fc849ce5b009wwwApp_DataDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
I have been developing and testing my app for some time without worrying about the question of user instances. Due to the nature of the app, I would want the database to be copied to laptops, where data would be added and then merged back into the "main" DB.
To facilitate this, when the (VB) app first installs, it copies the DB files from the data directory to an easily accessible folder which it creates in the C: drive (if they are not already there - to facilitate application upgrades).
The code is written and working. However, then I thought about user instances. With User Instance set to True, I suspect that this concept of a DB file created by a user on a given machine being readable by another user with a laptop is likely to fail (unfortunately I only have access to a single machine).
So I tried to change the User Instance to false (in the App.config file). This stopped the application from running. I checked in the Modify Connection (Advanced) screen which still showed User Instance to be True. I tried to change this but got an error message.
I can see a way around this, but I don't like it. I guess, rather than "export" the DB files to the laptop, I could send the data as an XML file. However, this seems to me to compromise security as it would be very easy for anyone to filter any actual data they wanted from such a file - unless there is a way to password protect an XML file?
So, is there any way that I can make these DB files (on the C: drive) available to any user, on any machine who is running the application so that they can import the data to their version of the App, add to it and then send the changes back to the original?
Thanks,

Hi,
So if the connection strings for say 2 separate users is configured for a user instance, what is the best approach to synchronising the user instances against each other and the Server instance?
This architecture suits remote users and I'm very interested to learn more about it.
Cheers,
John
I have a general question relating to SQL Express User Instances. Our application connects to a local SQL Express database through the default SQLEXPRESS user instance. My question is simply whether a user may experience a problem in connecting to our application's database should another application already be connected through the same default user instance (SQLEXPRESS)? The two applications are therefore running similtaneously. Also, are there any limit to how many applications could use the same service similtaneously?
On first run, my app takes the blank database from the data directory and sticks it into a folder on the C: drive. Lets call this folder ABC for convenience.
Now, sometimes, we need to take this DB to use on another machine. So I have a "Guest" button available at logon screen of the app that allows the user to browse the file system and select a different DB to use then creates the appropriate connection string for say, a DB on a USB stick or wherever.
Con = "Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="
Con += OpenFileDialog1.FileName
Con += ";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30" ';User Instance=True"
No problems here, it works for Express Edition.
However, someone else who is trying to use the app has SQL 2005 (not Express Edition installed) and it wouldn't work because the connection strings had User Instance = True in them.
Okay then, we'll just remove that bit of the connection string and it should work. They should be an Admin so no reason for User Instances.
It works fine if we browse to any DB file other than the one in ABC folder.
However, it is impossible to connect to the DB in ABC folder unless User Instance is set to True.
Secondly; for the app to work with the non-express version, would the connection string need to be changed (SQLEXPRESS)? If so, how do you detect programmatically which version the user has?
Can anyone help please, in idiot proof terms!!!
Thanks,
Rich
Hi
We have developed an application that uses User Instances of the database for each user. We have a stored proc that enables and disables the triggers on the various tables of the database. In our first round of debugging we have found that the applciation hangs when we try to either enable or disable the triggers. Can you modify triggers in user instances???
Thanks

Hi all,
I just want to know if SSCE 3.0/3.5 can cater for Multi-user instances? I have a desktop application that I want to allow multiple Windows-user accounts to access. basically I need a datastore that can be lightweight (which SSCE is) and support "User Instances" (like in SQL Server Express)
thanx!
Is there any documentation on using full-text search with user instances? Is it even supported?

Hi,
I've read the readme for the Service Pack 1 for Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/1/bd1e0745-0e65-43a5-ac6a-f6173f58d80e/ReadmeSQL2005SP1.htm
But I'm not quite clear on what will happen if you currently have SQL Server Express 2005 installed with User Instances, and then you launch the installer for SP1.
Will it also update the User Instance? If so, how could I tell? When I go to the registry for the User Instance it has the older version value ie.
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server[instance name]MSSQLServerCurrentVersion = 9.00.1399.06
Shouldn't it be saying 9.00.2047.00?
Does this mean that I have to uninstall the User Instance before installing SP1?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I had a server with SQL Server 7.0
I installed a named instance of SQL Server 2000 and then i passed all my DB
of the 7.0 instance to the 2000 instance.
Then i removed the 7.0 instance, that was the default instance.
So at the moment there is only the 2000 version, but it isn't the default
instance
Can the 2000 instance become the default instance? (So that clients can
connect to it simply through computer name, and not creating an alias)
thanks

I have used SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) and Visual Basic 2005 Express (VBE) for more than one year to pick up the Transect-SQL, ADO.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, SQLCLR, etc. Yesterday, I used SSEUtil to execute:

Please explain this thing for me.

Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.

We are looking at developing an SQL Server 2005 Database and I would like to use Windows Authentication rather than SQL Server Authentication to connect our client app.
In our development environment, we have two Servers, one being used as a file server and the other as an SQL Server. We have now set up a domain using the file server as the domain controller. (We had previously been set up to use a workgroup).
I have set up an active directory group called SqlDevelopers and added an active directory user called Jonathan to it.
On the SQL Sever, in management studio, I have set up a new server login which uses windows authentication called DomainSqlDevelopers. I used the GUI to verify I could see the domain and the group.
The default database is set to a test database on the server. A user in the test database is mapped to the DomainSqlDevelopers and given the Roles dbo, db_datareader, db_datawriter.
To test the log in, on the server, I logged out as administrator and in as Jonathan. I could successfully access the server through management studio using windows authentication.
However, if I log in as Jonathan on my client PC and try to access the SQL Server using management studio and windows authentication, I have problems.
The first time I try I will get a timeout error. If I try again will get either:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection
Or
Cannot generate SSPI context
I can€™t determine any pattern to which of the above errors I get.
However, if I log in as administrator on my client PC, I can connect to the server using management studio and windows authentication.
Sounds like Active Directory/Domain or other Network issue (Not really my area). I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks,
Jon

I am taking a guess it's somerthing to do with access issues, but can't find anything out on searching the forums etc..
I am setup as an administrator, running VWD as an administrator and for the record, SQL Server Management Studio express works fine.
Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.
As a starter i tried to modify and translate the Personal Website Starters kit from the VS2005Team SDK.
When i'm working on the machine were it's installed , under debugging, all works great.
But when i try to develop from my laptop, via RDP on the develop machine, i've got this message and can not debug (connect to the SQLxpres Server)
Does anybody now a solution ??

Hello everyone,
I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.
Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:
in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:
"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."
If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:
"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.
I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?
All this happens on local machine.
Thanks to everybody who can help!
Jeff
when I try to connect to an mdf as a power user,
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition

OK

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?
I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.
My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.
No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€œFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:
MS XP (SP2)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600
I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?
