.NET Connection To SQL SERVER?
Jun 21, 2010
i started programming with .NET (i have express edition) and wanted to make a connection to an SQL Server..previously i had .net 2005 - i started having the issue there - i unistalled it, n installed visual studio 2008. I have installed SQL Compact that came with the .net 2008, and besides it SQL Server 2000.When I try to make a connection to the SQL Server, if server is running I have to stop it and then choose the DB i want to use. (if its running wont let me choose any DB). Then, when i select the DB i need, Im getting this error:
"The instruction CREATE FILE fount SO error 5 (failed to retrieve text for this error.Reason:15105) while trying to open or creating the fysichal file : -path- to northwnd_log.ldf. Cant open the new database -path to northwnd.mdf. CREATE DATABASE discarded.Error while trying to attach a DB automatically named for archive -path to northwnd.mdf. There already exists a database with the same name, cant open the specified file or it is in a shared UNC resourse.File activation error. File name -path to northwnd_log.ldf- might be wrong"And when i try to connect with the SQL compact edition that came installed with the visual studio, im getting this error:"Can not allow access to the file in DB [File name = path to northwind.sdf]"

After running the following sub (VS debugger), I try to detach the database in SSMS, but it shows the connection open still and won't let me detach. If I close program in debugger, the database shows no connections. I check the dataadapter's connection in the finally block and is shows closed. What gives

This will happen at random, and I can always just catch the error and re-establish connection to the server, but I am confused as to why. When doing lots of inserting into the sql server, I only establish one connection that is public, instead of many little connections. I had my doubts on a public sql connection, but it's been running great, and I've seen no problems until this morning. Again, this random moment I hit an error that stated, sql connection state is broken. Is it bad practice to just accept this error, and when it happens, re-establish the connection?

I have simple code that connects to Sql database... (well it doesn't)
VB
Dim objConn As New SqlConnection("Server=localhost;uid=***;pwd=***;database=***")
objConn.Open()
ERROR MESSAGE:A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)But looks like something is wrong with "localhost" thing. Any help? Where can I get name of (my) server?

I am trying to do something fairly simple.. allow my user to import thier data from Excel into SQL Server, where it can be used by the application.To do this, I'm using the fairly simple code that is common everywhere I look:
strFilePath = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + fdlgFileOpen.FileName + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"
connExcel = New OleDbConnection(strFilePath)
connExcel.Open()
[Code]...
Now, on my development computer this code works perfectly. The data imports, and I can go on my merry way.
On the TEST computer, this code throws the error: "ODBC -- Connection to {SQL Server} servernamesqlservername failed." This seems very odd to me, because I'm using exactly the same SQL Server and database to interact with the application, and all the other screens in the application work perfectly. The test computer CAN connect to this SQL Server, but it keeps throwing this error whenever I try import data from Excel.I've tried everything I can think of - using the server's IP address instead of the server name, sending the SQL Server administrator data along with the request, taking out the Trusted_Connection=Yes... nothing works. What is going on here? How can this code work fine on my computer, and hiccup on another?

I have many Listviews in my Form and Im retrieving stored procedures to populates my Listviews. Is it necassary to close the connection to SQL Server once I have finished populating my Listviews?The angle which im coming from is that every 30 seconds or so I need to re-populate my Listviews with the latest cut of data from SQL Server therefor Im probably going to slow down my application if it has to connect to SQL Server every 30 seconds to get the latest cut of data... instead of keeping the connection to the SQL Server Stored Procedure live so that I can use some sort of method to refresh the data?

I've been trying to make a login system for my application. Which seems to work, but when I try to connect to the database itself, it won't work. I used this code to check the exception:
Catch myex As MySqlException
MsgBox(myex.Message)
That gives this exception:
"Acces denied for user '[my db user]'@'[My IP-Address]' (Using Password: YES)"
The code I use for the connection is:
Dim Connection As New MySqlConnection("server=[The SERVER IP]; user id=[DATABASE USER]; password=[DB USER PW]; port=3306; database=[DB NAME]; pooling=false")
Connection.Open()
MsgBox("Connected")
As you can see, I've tried to change the 'server' part, but it won't affect anything. It will just say my ip address (localhost, I assume) in the exception. Telling me that it couldn't connect to it. Which is not even what I'm wanting to do.

I have installed sql server 2005 in my machine which is installed vb.net 2008. I want my machine to distribute the database to the clients and make it as server.I don't have that much knowledge of how to overcome this issue as i am awfully naive about it.Let me start it here:I have got an application in vb.net...at first i was using ms access database 2007. then decided to switch on to the sql server since i want to distribute the database to the clients who are going to use my application.When i installed the sql server, i imported my access db files onto sql server database. i enabled tcp/ip as enable in the sql server network Configuration. i want use sql server windows authentication as my default user account of my system for the sake to simplify the issue.
Hence, i connected the sql server into the vb.net through the "add new data source".am done with that...the problem is how do i assign the connection string to the vb.net? Or how do i include a connection string in vb.net which tells every other computer that the database data source is in my computer so that every computer can automatically check it in the network.Where exactly shall i put the connection string...as far as my knowledge is concerned for access database, you can easily identify your connection string in project /properties/settings...it goes here and you put your database in any where.And what is the best connection string do i need for sql server 2005..computers are running windows xp.

I am wondering if it is possible to perform some SQL command on a datatable. I currently have an application which reads in an excel spread sheet using the excel COM, and stores the data in a object array. The Object array is then used to create a datatable based on user specifications. I have added a number of checked list boxes which are populated with the column names and row number. The user can select what rows and columns that want to see, and the datatable is recreated to their needs and displayed in a datagridview.
Although at the moment the program is fairly simple in design, but I plan to add a bit to it. I am now wondering if you can use an SQL statement to extract a set of data from a pre-existing datatable. Most examples I have seen involve a connection to an SQL server,

I'm creating a program in VB.Net that heavily interacts with 2 large MSSQL databases. I do not know a ton of vb and I'm fairly new, but I would assume just having the connection strings in the code and releasing the program it would be quite easy for someone to reverse the program and get my connection info? correct me if I'm wrong. My question is I'm wondering if there is a safer way to use a connection string in my program. Would I just have to encrypt my app? Create a module or dll?
