Changing A Connection String At Runtime For A Tableadapter That Was Created Using The Wizard?
Jun 21, 2010
I've created two forms of which two separate datasets/tableadapters were created by adding a datasource and dragging and dropping the fields onto my form.I was testing the program using a db that was located on my local drive. Well after publishing the app to the users machines, I noticed that the binded information was still being pulled from my local machine and not the database that the user is working off of.I've set the connection modifier properties for both tableadapters to Public, and I have written the following attempting to change the connection strings:
Private Sub btnSaveSettings_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSaveSettings.Click
Dim pap As New frmPap
My.Settings.dbLocation = txtSettings.Text

I added an .xsd file to my project using the IDE After that, I right-clicked and chose Add->Query I chose a dummy connection and then >SQL statement->Update Then I changed the Query's modifier to public
Dim ta As New dsCC2000TableAdapters.UpdatesTableAdapter
ta.UpdateQueryTest()
The problem is... I can't seem to modify the connnection object at runtime (by using ta.connection = XYZ) It doesn't show up on ta variable's intellisense!

In my app (written in VS 2003) I use OleDbDataAdapter's to load data. I have some functions that enable be to change the OleDbDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText at run time, by adding a "WHERE" or "HAVING" section to the SQL command, or updating the "WHERE " or "HAVING" section. This way I have have generic load data functions. (load all invoices for Customer 123, load all invoices for the year 2009, or load all invoices for Customer 123 for the year 2009).
With the new VS 2008 TableAdapter, the TableAdaper.CommandCollection property is Protected. How can I edit the TableAdaper.CommandCollection(0).CommandText at run time?

I'm developing an app in vb.net (visual studio 2008). I have a Teradata back-end that will be supporting multiple users in a production environment. I need to use variables in the connection string as the user/pass will be changed every 3 months.
For the gist of the application:
In it's most basic form - I have a search form which works correctly - it pulls results into a listbox and the user then double clicks the list box which will then open a form that is bound via table adapter to the back-end table (Teradata). My connection string is fine everywhere in the application. My problem is using a modified connection string for the "fill" function of the table adapter once the form is opened.
I'm using the code below for the on-load event and keep getting an "invalid connection string" - again, the connection string works fine everywhere else in the app, and the variables etc... are working correctly.
Private Sub adaptertest_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim DBConnStr As String = "Provider=TDOLEDB;Data Source=TDDEV;Persist Security

I am looking to make a data connection with a network server(sql server 2005). When I run the data source configuration wizard, it allows me only to pick a local database file. I want to use a connection string like this "Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=mydb;User Id=username;Password=password;" I know I can do that programmatically. But I would like to know whether I can do that using the data source wizard so that I will be able to use Bindingsources and tableadapters.

things look good till I reach the Bind Commands to Existing Stored procedures page of the wizard and I select my target spproc (rpt_IPR_...) then I hit the finish button and see the message: invalid object name '#TmpResults' now the dataset seems to setup correctly but was wondering why we are getting this message and should I be concerned. The same proc in Access had no issues. [Code]
Because we where not seeing info on the spproc parms we began to suspect that the query made by the IDE to get metadata was failing and that indeed is the case. (we also switch to non-production database to reproduce the issue)after some great SQL debugging from Kevin Currier here at Mindsolve the problem seems to be the SET FMTONLY OFF; SET FMTONLY ON; that the framework is using to get metadata info for the [Code]

I'm trying to change my connection string to w/e the user wants. After a few tips here and there, this is what I've come up:
1: In my settings I've added - Name(login), Type(String), Scope(User), Value(Nothing)
2: Here is the code I'm using
Private Sub LoginForm1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Here I'm checking if the login in my.settings is there
'If not, I'm going to let the user choose what database
[code]....
The error I get is: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.here -
Dim con As New OleDbConnection(My.Settings.login)
When I have my con equal to when I added the datasource from it works.

This is regarding a windows app in Visual Studio 2005, a VB Windows application.'ve stored a connection string called strSQLConn in My.Settings. I'm trying to change the Server in code. I set a string variable called strConn to a new Connection string. My.Settings.Profile2006sql = strConn
This produces an error saying that My.Settings is readonly. I'm missing something basic here.
I don't know if this is the best way to change a connection string to toggle between a development server and a production server. My understanding is that if the setting Connection string is changed it will be used as the default for all the table adapters in a strongly typed dataset. Is that the case?

I'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 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 sorry but Microsoft did not think about this very well. I have used the dataset wizard to connect to my sql server and the connection string was placed in the app.config file. The only problem with this is that you can not write to it nor change string at runtime. So I need a way for each one of my users to specify their connection either during installation or after installation. I would appreciate any help in this matter.

I need to be able to change the connection string of a strongly typed dataset at runtime. I have gone into the settings.vb page and written this code:
Namespace
My
'This class allows you to handle specific events on the settings class:
' The SettingChanging event is raised before a setting's value is changed.
' The PropertyChanged event is raised after a setting's value is changed.
' The SettingsLoaded event is raised after the setting values are loaded.
' The SettingsSaving event is raised before the setting values are saved.
[Code] .....
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
"The debugger cannot continue running the process. Process was terminated.

You can change the connection string at run-time like this. You make the connection string setting available for writing as a separate property inside the MySettings class:
Partial Friend NotInheritable Class MySettings
Public WriteOnly Property RunTimeConnectionString()
Set(ByVal value)
[code]....
Then, in some place when the application is being initialized (before using any table adapters of typed datasets), write something like:
My.Settings.RunTimeConnectionString = My.Settings.ProductionConnectionString
Where ProductionConnectionString is a simple String setting. It is a User Scope setting so every user can change it (by assigning a value to it, similar to the code above) and save it by calling My.Settings.Save()This code works well for connection strings which were initially created in the main project and stored in it's settings (= app.config file).
The connection string in the app.config actually has a longer name: MyApp.MySettings.MyConnectionString.When you have a connection string stored in the app.config in a class library project, and reference that project in the main project, the app.config files will somehow be merged, so the class library has it's settings.The thing that don't know how to do, is change a setting from the class library at run-time. I could copy the connection string setting from the class library to the main project's app.config. I must keep the same name, which looks something like: MyClassLibrary.My.MySettings.MyConnectionString.Can the same principle I showed above be somehow applied to this second connection string?

I am using the TableAdapter Configuration Wizard and under Advanced option I click on "Refresh the data table" and carry through to the end of the wizard. However when I run my code and want to update the dataset on the form I get the error message "Update requires a valid Update Command when passed with DataRow collection with modified rows". So, ok, when I look back at the Dataset with right click and configure I find that that the "Refresh the data table" under Advanced Options is no longer ticked, even though I had ticked it before and finished the wizard. Somewhere along the line the tableAdapter is losing this value.

I have a web application where I built a wizard, going from panel to panel.Besides using the Next, Previous buttons, one can use the Side Bar to select what panel to go to.The problem is that while the selected Panel's side bar button is Highlighted / Bolded, it is barely discernable to my client.Not only do they want the button highlighted, but they want the (selected) side bar button to change color as well.
