I have a Windows application that uses typed datasets. When setting up the datasets, Visual Studio asks if you want to remember the connection.
Before filling the dataset, I programatically change the connection string of each table adapter so that it will connect to the remote database. Before this operation, it is set to the local database since that is the one I am developing on.[code]...
I'm trying to use variables in my connection string to a table adapter. The only clean cut method I've seen is the following, however, I'm getting "Invalid Connection string" upon run-time. I'm assuming maybe this can't be done?
Private Sub adaptertest_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'BCPM_DDBODataSet.LTC_FBS' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
LTC_FBSTableAdapter.Connection.ConnectionString = "Provider=TDOLEDB;Data Source=TDDEV;Persist Security Info=True;User ID={0};Password={1};Default Database=bcpm_ddbo;Session Mode=ANSI;"
Me.LTC_FBSTableAdapter.Fill(Me.BCPM_DDBODataSet.LTC_FBS)
Is this possible? Currently I'm using a login form that passes txt box values to string and then use as variables in the hand coded connection string (for each query) is there a way to use this with a table adapter? something similar to how access remembers your login credentials when accessing an ODBC table? I've tried editing the connection string in the config file, but says it's invalid every time. I'm only using the table adapter to populate my form after running a hand coded search query.
This is what i use for manual insert/update/delete query
Private sConStrFormat As String = "Provider=TDOLEDB;Data Source=TDDEV;Persist Security Info=True;User ID={0};Password={1};Default Database=bcpm_ddbo;Session Mode=ANSI;"

connectionString="Data Source=########;Initial Catalog=DowntimeD51;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=#######;Password=########;Connection Timeout=120;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=False;Network Library=dbmssocn" I have the above connection string in a vb windows application , This is part of my app config file.
I then have a number of table adapters for connecting my business logic to the database , One of the queries inparticular is a pretty large one and requires extra time to complete however the connection is getting a timeout error. When I checked the adapter connection with Dim connection2 As Int32 = Adapter1.Connection.ConnectionTimeout This shows the connection time out to be 120 seconds but the timeout is still occuring after 30 seconds.
I have a data table whose one column is related to a column of another table. I have a listbox in a form which shows a column (which is sorted by another column value by ORDER clause) of the parent table and other columns are in textboxes. The child table is represented by a datagrid. When I add a new item in parent table and click save, the newly created item is listed at the bottom of the listbox violating my ORDER clause. When I wrote some codes to fill data again after updating, it shows an error message[code]...

View 3 RepliesI added a table to my Access database. I added that table to my dataset. Using Database Designer VB Studio, my table and tableadapter show up in the design view. The class definition is in the datasetdesigner.vb, and it shows in the object browser. But, I can't reference it in code. I am a newby and obviously missing somethning.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a windows form application using vs2008. I need to connect to different SQL server express database files during runtime. There is a "how to do" video showing a technique for this
[Code]...
and then in the Form1_load sub and before calling the data adapter to fill data, insert codes below:
Dim strConnectingSting = NewConnectionString
My.Settings.RunTimeConnectionString = strConnectingSting
The method works but only for the first database. I found once adapter.fill is called and the connection to a database is established, the connection can't be changed.To do what I want, I have to create a startup project to call my main project. When I want to change connection, close the main project and start again.
I have developed a windows form application using VB.Net with data access layer using LINQ-SQL. I want to allow the database to be configured from the application. I have created a form for input and save the input details in an XML file.
I need to know how to configure the LINQ to start using the new configured database on startup. I have read in one of the threads here about dynamic allocating the connection string with the following solution to include in every file where the data context is instantiated. [code]...
I have a different thread on this, but I bumped it and I think it's been forgotten about. This is what I have:

Is it possible change the connection string to a different database when the user changes the database they are using .i have a working program atm but i want to be able to change the connection with out having to change the code. the databases contain information from different years but all have the same tables queries etc.

Problem is inserting the following string variable "source=" & strFileLocation & ";" creates a fatal error
View 1 RepliesI am using vb.net and SQL server 2005 I have a project with database classes which are generated from database objects. That is I add a dataset to the project and drag and drop a database object onto it. The problem with this is that I have to give a connectionstring which is stored in the code. This is ok while developing the application. But runtime I want to use another connectionstring, both for security reasons and because each user of the application will correspond to a database user (SQL) and shall have a corresponding connectionstring. Is there an easy way to do this without having to restore to plain all datasets and do everything myself?
View 2 RepliesI have read through some other post and haven't been able to find an exact answer that I am looking for. I have a connection string saved in my.settings that I am using. My database is residing on a server. Now I am going to have to install this application at more then one area and they will have the database on their server. What I am wanting to do is for the application when it is loading to search the network to find the database and return the connection string without the user having to do anything. I know with a web application you can search the machine you are on for the connection string without knowing its location but was hoping there was some feature like that to search the network to find it.

I'm trying to add a datagridview in vb.net, but it does not allow me to change the connection string or the database that should be imported to connect to it. The only thing that I'm seeing is the previous ms sql database that I connected with datagridview and everytime I click the new connection, the window closes and it leaves me with the datagridview with the previous connection that I have. And its not applicable because, now I want to connect it with mysql. Not ms sql. Its some sort of a cache like feature in vb.net, how do I get rid of it. so that I can add the new connection for mysql? Do I need to reinstall visual studio 2008?

I have a form that fills a table adapter with this:

I am storing my connection string in my app.config file. I am using sql server express 2005. The connection string on my dev machine is different from the ones at the clients. so each time I update I open the config file and edit the connection string setting. This is quite a pain.also I have now published my app to an ftp folder so that the clients can get the updates each time I make changes. saves me the hassle of going to them each time i update. so now i need it to be so that I won't have to change the setting all the time.Would the best way be to store the connection string in a settings table in the database?

View 2 RepliesI am creating a VB windows form applications , the working can be summarized as users fills some form and data is saved in sql server database.Now the problem i am facing is that i have to deliver this as a setup file to someone, and that person will further distribute it to different users to run on their PC, what i am thinking is that the code once installed on other computers and executed will give errors because of the connection string of sql server db as it will not match with that computer . I know that if a distribute projects i can put connection string in app.config and every user can change it according to his/her machine .But as i am giving a setup file how to solve this problem
View 1 RepliesIn my earlier project I was able to change the connection string during the app settings loaded event and it was successfully. When I try to do the same for a code library project, I am not getting the system.configuration.connectionstringsettings to work. Could you please tell if there is a work around for this, or else it is always better to write the sql code instead of depending on the adapters etc.
Additional information: Clients App is WPF with Vb. Database is SQL Server 2008 Code Lib would only be on server, slq connectiona and data retrieving and saving actions are stored in classes in code lib only. Code Lib would be used with WCF, wcf is used to share the classes only and classes have the data. WCF is hosted as a windows service on server used by NET.TCP
and advise how I can change this connection string at run time. This is going to be on Client's computer and my application will need to change the name of computer after user enters it.
View 1 RepliesI am writting an application and I used Wizard to create DataSets which auto-created their own xml code. This code uses the saved in My.Settings Connection String. Being a setting with an unchangable 'Application' scope i cannot change its value at runtime.

The way the code is suppose to work is that when a user logs in, the application gets the user's site ID (gvUserSite), then uses that to set the connection string. But when I log on with a SiteID of "21" it always uses the Case Else value. Also when I set breakpoints in settings.vb the application never stops on the breakpoints I set during runtime. As if the breakpoints were never set. Also if I put any code in the "MySettings_SettingChanging" in settings.vb I get a runtime error

I was developing a website on development server. I created a user authentication and access rules on my website. So VS created Aspnetdb. I also created a login page using in built login control. I deny all the anonymous users to the page so it will redirect to login page everytime.
Now that I moved aspnetdb and my website to the remote server to the new hosting I bought. I also merged few tables into aspnetdb. But I don't know how to change the connection string for that login control. I didn't write any code myself for that and there is no connection string in the web.config to connect to aspnetdb. For other pages where I created from scratch myself, I changed the connection strings to the aspnetdb and it works fine, but Login control don't.
Hoping for some advice, probably an easy question for most people on here but I'm a mere learner. Basically, what would generally be the reason for using a Data Set via adapter rather than just connecting to the database directly using an SQL connection?
