Im a beginner at vb.net, and just wanna ask if it is possible to make a vb.net app/client app that can connect to a database on an online web server???The app is locally on the client computer and the database is uploaded on the web server/host together with its website.
View 4 RepliesI wrote a program in VB2005. It is a program that is supposed to run in a client computer accessing an MS Access .mdb file stored in the server. The program itself is stored and run in the clients computer. I am not good in networking at all. The way I do it now is:
1. Have a directory made in the server to hold the MS Access .mdb file, and have the directory to be shared.
2. Have the same directory accessed and mapped in the client computer (say to Z:)
3. Then have the program in the client computer simply access the database as if it is in the same computer (as the directory already mapped into the client computer). In the VB 2005, this is done when we set the connection string of the database connection.
However, my user is complaining that by doing so, the database is basically exposed to the operator of the client computer (through the mapped directory), hence more vunerable for any bad intentions from persons who may have access to the client computer but not the server. He insists that he used to have a program that does exactly the same thing like my program, but the database is shielded in the server, where it cannot be seen in the client computer (I have other people who confirm that this can be done, though they can't tell me how, since they are not programmers themselves). Now, I have no idea on how to connect a database that way, and I don't even know where to start looking.
Which should be selected?
Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
or
Data Source=190.190.200.100;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
I am wondering if anyone has a tutorial or source code to help me get started with creating a IRC Client that will connect to a IRC Server.I just want to make a pretty GUI to modernize it a bit and add some more features etc purely for educational reasons & because I need a new project.This is a couple of steps up from my last project so I will need a guide to get me started etc. I have been searching on various sites etc but have found nothing so far.

View 1 Replieshow to create a client/server... But I couldn't... I don't want anything fancy. Just want the client to send the server 4 numbers, depending on the user's choice; after that, the server would turn off the pc, restart it, etc. It all depends on the number received. Is there a rather "simple" way to do it? If it's not to much trouble you could use Atheist's example. (Btw I don't understand the code and, yes, I've checked on [URL])

View 7 RepliesI'm creating a VB2010 application which will require a connection to MSSQL. Should I Install SQL 2008 on my computer then use MS SQL 2008 as my data source or skip installing SQL 2008 and use MDF instead?
Also the program must have the following requirement
Program must use SQL as their database source End user must not install SQL server on their machine Program must be able to update (sync) the local SQL database from SQL server on the web. (User will have option to delete everything on their local database and load everything fresh from the server or to merge the update with existing data) Programs will (most of the time) run in an offline environment. When the user have access to internet they can update the database The program must allow user to add,edit, delete their local database while offline Only certain user (authorized user) can update their local database back to the serverC
Is it possible to created a program that meets all the above requirement ?
I would like to create a server program that accesses an "ms access" database. I will also need a client program that connects to the server. The reason for this is that the server is a mediator for several clients. Since I am using access, I plan on maybe having 20 or 30 clients connect to the server only. The client will have access to a virtual market. So when a person buys or sells something on the market, the server mediates the transaction and etc. At the same time, the access database saves each clients data as well as the overall market data.

View 1 RepliesI am having a small problem... I can connect to a local MySql Database using:
SQLConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=servername;" & _
"Initial Catalog=databasename;" & _
"User ID=username;" & _
"Password=userpassword;"
Where servername is "localhost". I need to make a connection to an online database (same data structure). What should I put at the servername in that case? I do have all the info about the database in question (Domain, Ip, etc...). Which part should i use?
I can connect to both databases with SQL Server Enterprise Manager, so I know the servers are up and available. One of them is SQL1, the other is SQLTEST.In my program when I use the following connection string, it work connects just fine:
conn = New DBConnect("Data Source=SQL1;Initial Catalog=SignInspection;Integrated Security=SSPI")
However, if I change SQL1 to SQLTEST the connection times out I don't get any errors other than the timeout error.I can run the profiler on SQLTest and see that it is most definitely NOT even attempting to connect.
EDIT:Well, it's a moot point now because I got authentication working properly on our SQL1 server.
First off, the web server is running IIS and .NET. Users are logged in to the intranet using Active Directory, and the .NET page needs to retrieve their log-in credentials (username most notably). The database is SQL Server 2005, running on a different machine. But the .NET app needs to impersonate as another user to connect to the database.
To successfully do both of these things go to Windows > Run, enter inetmgr and hit run. Navigate to the site and right click > properties, then click on the tab titled Directory Security, click Edit.., make sure only Integrated Windows Authentication and Digest authentication are enabled. Enter your proper AD realm and click OK. Apply the settings/hit OK.In web.config you need the following lines
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" username="myDomainMyUserName" password="123mypasswordgoeshere">
replacing, of course, myDomainMyUserName and 123mypasswordgoeshere with the username and password that has login rights on both your domain and your sql server. The connection string can probably be modified, but this is mine and it works:
Server=SQL1;Database=SignInspection;Trusted_connection=True;
basically i just want client to say "C: emp" ENTER
then, server must reply with all its files in c: emp
