Dear,
I am trying to connect from a vb.net application (VS 2005) to a sql server 2005 database located remotely,what is the connection string that I should use?I used the same one that I was using for connecting to sql 2000 but it is not working.Thanks.
I have SQL 2005 and I wanted to write a little program in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (VBEE) to carry out some processes. While away I built my user form, but when I got back I found that VBEE refuses to connect to SQL Server 2005 and is only configured to link to SQL Express.
The data source is set to .SQLEXPRESS in the advanced properties of the Add Connection form in the Data Source Configuration Wizard and you can not change it.
I read in MSDN ID 329721 that you can create a data layer that will allow you to use the wizards, but that is as far as it went and is above my programming skills.
So my only options are use VB.Net 2003 Standard edition, use connected mode or give up and it was only supposed to be a quick fix. Had anyone else had this same issue and developed a work around?
Hiya,
I'm a SQL n000b, and have just joined the forum 5 minutes ago seeking an answer to this problem that I've encountered. It seems that the way connection strings are handled in SQL 2005 have changed. This connection string used to work, but is now borked:
<add key="DBNAME.ConnectionString" value="packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source='sqlvirdev0035dev35';persist security info=False;initial catalog=DBNAME;connection timeout=60" />
Has something explicitly changed in SQL 2005 that would break this <add key>? Does something need to be set server side in order to handle these connection strings now? I have no idea why this won't work anymore, I just know that it doesn't work.
Ty for any help,

i am trying to connect to ssas 2005 -- i can get to it through management studio no problem. i cant seem to get my program to connect
can anyone see anything wrong with this connection string
Provider=MSOLAP;User ID=myid;Password=mypass;Data Source=mysrvr;Initial Catalog=mycat;Client Cache Size=25;Auto Synch Period=10000;
I try to use this conn string but it is not working I think the problem is with the provider
DataBaseSource = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Password=sa2006; User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=coupon; Data Source=YAELSQLEXPRESS;"
I get error message
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)

do you know which provider can I use?
or maybe it is a sacurity problem

I'm running Microsoft SQL server 2005. what is the error in the above code.
Hi,
I have just uninstalled SQLEXPRESS and installed the 180 day trial SQL server 2005 enterprise edition.
I have since started to have problems with my ASP.Net Configuration Tool., can not connect to the database.
I think that the connection string in my machine.config file is incorrect, before installing I had,..:
datasource=./SQLEXPRESS,....
So i decided to change that part to the following. Would anybody know what I have put in the datasource part for the SQL server 2005 enterprise edition? At the moment I tried SQLSERVER2005 but that is incorrect,..
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="data source=./SQLSERVER2005;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
does anyone kbnow the connection string used to connect to the database in sql server 2005 express?
can someone one give me sample codes for it? thanks.
thanks
What is the impact of the differences in the following 2 connection strings:
Initial Catalog=xxx;Data Source=xxxxxx;Trusted_Connection=True;
Driver={SQL Server};Server=xxxxx;database=xxx;Trusted_Connection=yes;
To outline the differences I'm concerned with are
Missing Driver on first string
Difference in Trusted_Connection parameter (true vs. yes)
Initial Catalog vs. database parameter
Hello, I had started my project with the express edition, then I switched to the pro one. The problem is that in my webconfig I still have .SQLEXPRESS and I don't know how to modify that to use the full version of Sql server. <add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MyDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> When I look at the surface area manager I can see that I have 2 instances running : MSSQLSERVER and SQLEXPRESS.When starting Sql Server Management Studio I can connect to 2 servers: NEWDELL and NEWDELLSQLEXPRESS.And when I try to replace SQLEXPRESS by MSSQLSERVER in the connectionstring, then it doesn't connect.I remember having lost connection already when playing with all these tools, so I pay attention now ! That's why any help would be really appreciated ! Thank you.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, all. I am using VS.NET 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express. I tried to use the following code to connect to a database named "AMSPROD" that I attached to SQL Server 2005 Express:
dbConn = new OleDbConnection(Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAMSPROD_Data.MDF";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True);
dbConn.Open();
I got an error asking for provider with the above connection string, then I changed the conncection string to be like follows:

I got error: No error message available, result code: DB_E_ERRORSOCCURRED(0x80040E21)

Strange thing is, when I use the Connect To Database under Tool menu of VS.NET 2005, I could make the connection to this database. Then I copied this connection string to the code, the connection couln't be made. I feel very confused.
I am wondering if I need to add ASP.NET user to SQLExpress. But I don't know how to do it?
Can anyone please help me out! Many thanks!

I migrated my SQL Server 7 database to the new SQL Server 2005 that I installed on my PC. I have classic ASP programs on my PC that used to access the SQL Server 7 database. However, global.asa and these ASP programs can no longer connect to the new SS 2005 database.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm a student at Boise State university and we're using SQL Express as part of one of our projects for ASP.NET programming. I liked it and I'm trying to use it to power a wiki that I'll be hosting from my home internet connection. The wiki is compatible with MSSQL server, but it won't connect to SQL Express.
I suspect that the problem is in the connection string, mainly because the apps we're developing for class use a connection string like:
<add name="AspNetForumConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=gaming.forum.nxnw;User ID=*********;Password=*********;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
and note the Data Source. The wiki I'm using is PHP based and uses ADObd to connect databases and has a driver for MSSQL, but not SQL Express (no surprise, really). I know just enough php to be dangerous to code and I've tried modifying the adodb-mssql.inc.php, but I can't seem to make the right change.
So, all that said, my question is: Is there a way to change what SQL Express 2005 will accept as a connection string? I've been looking, but I'm not even sure what the setting would be called.
Thanks,

Hi everyone!
I am new to visual studio 2005 and sql server 2005.
Up to now i was using visual studio 2003 and ms access.
When i wanted to create a web application that communicates with
an access database, i just had to take the *.mdb file and put it
into a specific folder inside my application's folder and then use
Server.MapPath on the connection string (so it can run on any pc).
Now, i want to do the same with sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005.
I use the connection string: "Server=MYSERVER;Initial
Catalog=test_db;Integrated Security=SSPI".
My problems are:
1) Can i just take the *.mdf file put it inside the App_Data folder like i did on access?
2) What should be the connection string so that my application can run on any pc (with sql server 2005)?
Thanx in advance guys!
Do I need to change connection string if I upgrage SQL server from 2000 to 2005 in ASP.NET 2.0?

I need to load a text file into sql server table using SSIS package.
the idea is to load this file with the help of dtexec command by giving the file path and name in the SET switch of dtexec command.
anyone having an idea; would be of great help.
Regards,
Salman Shehbaz.
I have a sql express .mdf that is located in c:appdirectorymydb.mdf whilst developing an application. During development my connection string uses the above path to connect to the db. e.g.
"server = .sqlexpress; Integrated Security=True; database=C:appdirectorymydb.mdf"
I have published the app using click once in visual studio.net which places the db in : C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameLocal SettingsApps2.0DataJN1WL1DJ.X7B ... 08ed2810aab2abData
When i am executing the application following a clickonce install, what should I use in my connection string for the path to the db ? or where can I find the above path (e.g. in the registry) so that I can provide it to the connection string ?
Alternatively, can I specify where the DB is going to be installed (via click once). e.g. in my app directory under program files ?
I have tried searching what seems like everywhere for a solution to this problem and as a last resort thought it worth posting the question.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I have installed on my laptop SQL server 2005 Developer edition, I can change ANY of the settings of the SQL server and OS.
I am writing code with a team using continuous integration where the connection string is the following:
"Provider=SQLNCLI;Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Database=Secret;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
is there a way (create an alias,rename server, other?) to make my local dev SQL server accept the connection string above, as at the moment I have to rename the connection string every time before checking in code and after downloading the latest version from the code repository.
any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
Is this an intrinsic issue?
I am working on a C# stored procedure for SQL 2005, and i've uncovered a couple questions.
First a description of the procedure:
I have a series of equations taking place to calculate a score based on activities in which the user participated in, that will give them an over all grade or rating. The calculations currently take place in the database, and I am moving this from T-SQL to C# CRL.
1. In order to connect the stored procedure to the database I use a SqlConnection and a SqlCommand to execute either dynamic sql or a stored procedure to return data to a data reader. Is there an easier way to connect to the database? In SSMS if i open up the query it knows what database i am connected to. Do I have to make a sql connection in C# stored Procedures?
2. I have multiple functions within the main C# Stored Procedure that I'm working on. This ends up requiring Multiple Active Recordsets. I must set this withing the connection string. Seeing as I'm using a named instance of SQL 2005, I now must put the userid, password, and server name into the code. Is there a more secure way to connect to SQL Server in a C# Stored procedure that allows MARS?
3. I encryped the connection string, and put it into the assembly, I wrote a decryption class, and in the procedure itself everytime I need to refrence the connection string, I call it, decrypt it, and pass it along. But my code to decrypt the connection string is in the compiled DLL, if the server was ever compromised the encrypted connection string and the key to decrypt it are sitting in the DLL. Is there a config file that I can use for C# Stored Procedures?
4. If I have to keep the connection string in the file, then I need to change that per environment. Example I have 3 test environments before production. So I would need to change the connection string for each file. That may be fine for one procedure, but what if I have 20, that will quickly get of hand?
5. Along the security lines, can the assembly for a C# Stored Procedure be called from outside the assembly? From a command prompt, or by a maliceous program? Or could it be called directly by a .NET application instead of going through a T-SQL Stored Procedure that is using
WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
EXTERNAL NAME [PROJECTNAME].[CLASSNAME].[METHODNAME]
Thanks
Hi,
I'm having a BIG problem, this is my 3rd day looking for answer !I'm trying to create a custom membership provider with MS SQL database 2005 but not the default ASPNETDB. I've changed the web.config to be as following:<connectionStrings><add name="sqlConn" connectionString="Data Source=.;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB;"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings> <system.web><trace enabled="true" /><roleManager enabled="true" /><authentication mode="Forms" />

I am using sqljdbc41.jar to connect with MSSQL database, it is working fine on my local machine.Where as on the remote server, same class giving me error
Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>'
My connection string is URL...
I am using sqljdbc41.jarĀ and on 64 bit processor , I am using following command which included path for sqljdbc_auth.dll java -Djava.library.path= C: sqljdbc_4.1enuauthx64 TestDao and error is Login failed for user '<domain><windows loginID>' why it is not picking up username passed in connection string. I have 2 machines, one is local and other is remote. on both machine I login using my domain, it is working absolutely fine on local then why the error is coming on remote machine.Both the machines are identical.
I have been trying to host my website on Go Daddy for about 3 weeks and I have cleared several problems but this one remains. I can get into the ASPNETDB database for doing logins , etc but I cant access my database called "PINEmgt".
To try to understand where the problem is located,I built a very simple application without login controls and put on it one Detailform accessing a single line table "Signin". I continually get the error message I got with my real app :"The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. " There is only one connection string in my app -'PINEMgtConnectionString2'. When I run the app locally on my machine it works. After I move everything to Go Daddy, I get the error message and the following dump"
Line 24: </Fields>
Line 25: </aspetailsView>
Line 26: <aspqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStringsINEMgtConnectionString2 %>"
Line 27: InsertCommand="INSERT INTO Signup(first_name, last_name, email, customer_id) VALUES (,,,)"
Line 28: SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Signup]"></aspqlDataSource>
This is indeed the code from my single page app.
The dump is:
[InvalidOperationException: The connection name 'PINEMgtConnectionString2' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.]

After Googleing, asking Go Daddy for info (which they dont give) , etc for three weeks, I need serious mental help
in the form of a solution of this problem. Your help with the problem or the name of a good mental health professional in eastern N.C. (maybe both) would be appreciated.

I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
I came across something strange today. I was wondering I was doing something wrong.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is the first time I have used SSIS, so please bear with the ignorance.
I have a super simple package that inserts x000's of rows into a temporary table. The data source is a file that the user will upload. I need to be able to tell the package what file to upload. I'm thinking the simplest thing would be to edit the connectionString property of the SourceConnectionFlatFile at runtime. Is this possible? What form should the file path be in (UNC, other)? And, are there any other considerations I should be aware of?
Thanks!
The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...
Good Morning,
I hope that I am just missing a step in the process somewhere. I have established a string variable called DatabaseServer and another called DatabaseName. In the OLE DB connectionstring expression I have the following:
Code Snippet
"Data Source=" + @[User::DatabaseServer] + ";Initial Catalog=" + @[User::DatabaseName] + ";Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;"
My understanding is that changing the variable from SERVERA to SERVERB should repoint the connection. (Test to pre-production to production in my current promotion environment.) This should also take effect in any dataflow task using the database connection above right? When I try to repoint the server variable (and only the server variable) I am either a.)throwing errors saying the original connection cannot be found in the data flow task, or b.)the job appears to be processing fine, but the repoint did not take place and data is still flowing to the original server.
Can anyone offer suggestions as to what I am missing?
The properties values in the DB connection:
ConnectionManagerType is OLEDB
DataSourceID is blank
DelayValidation is False (Setting to true changes nothing in my test)
Expression for ConnectionString is (see above)
RetainSameConnection is False
SupportsDTCTTransactions is True (and appears to be unchangeable.)
