Creating Database And Connection String While Setup Or Initializing?
Mar 26, 2012
I am creating a desktop application in vb.net by using visual studio 2008 and using ms sql 2008 as back end for my database.As I am creating application on my own system I know my connection string and I have created database manually on my system.
What I want is, when user install application on its system, the database created dynamically at that time on his system and he must enter server name, username and password for ms sql server that application should store for future use.If not at installation, it should atleast check and create database, everytime the user open the application.

I 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

I created a new Setup project to my original project. In my project's code there is this line: Public DBPath As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments & "Visual Studio 2008ProjectsFUV1FUV1FU.mdb" I just wanted to know, if I am instaling the project in other computer that has no VS in it, with the SETUP project, do I need to change this line? something to do with the Application Folder of the Setup project?

I am creating a visual basic project for class. It is all running as intended though I am not sure how to set up the login to database function. When you click the link for the specific report it should display the page. But I get a login to database page. I am just wondering how I set that up so that one can actually see the information. ie:

I've been viewing the tutorial at [URL]...08-088541.html but I'm still having issues creating my connection to our Oracle database. Here's my code, which uses the same connection string as one of my VB6 programs (no password required for database--Oracle picks up windows name) :
Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Create connection object
Dim OraDB As String = "Data Source=databaseneme;Persist Security Info=False"
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(OraDB)
conn.ConnectionString = OraDB
conn.Open()
Me.Show()
End Sub
I've been using .NET for all of 10 mins so the error may be painfully obvious!

On my development PC I have SQL Server installed, and my SQL connetion works perfect. I use a trusted connection. But on other PCs, where the program should work later, there is only a SQL "Express" installed (by another application), and it seems they have an password on the SQL Server (I guess). I have no chance to get the password from the other application. My connection is not working here. I created some connection test, but it does not seem to work with the trusted connection. I need the SQL only for creating my own database and connecting to my own database. So how do I create a connection with SQL Express for creating and working with my own database?
Here my code for testing the connection so far (Fehler means Error, erfolgreich means Success) Private Sub mnu_Verbindung_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnu_Verbindung.Click
Dim bolFehler As Boolean = False
Dim sServer, sDatab As String

I am trying to create error messages to display on a form. I added a label that is made visible if there is error.Currently if the database name is wrong the error message displays, however if I alter the connection string; example: If I misspell Server, the error label does not display and my application crashes when I try to click a control.How do I detect and display the error label, when there is no connection or a part of the string is misspelled or missing? Is this even possible? [code]

I'm trying to return an array of strings from a function, and got surprised by an error.
I would have expected this to work, but it produces an error:
Public Function TestError() As String()
Return {"foo", "bar"}
End Function
[Code]....
I guess I'm unclear on the meaning of the {}'s - is there a way to implicitly return a string array without explicitly creating & initializing it?

I'm trying to add a string to a access database, for a column that was originally designed for numbers, i have changed the data type under the design view from number to text, yet I still get a error saying that it cannot convert the string expected int32
Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store in Parent_ID Column. Expected type is Int32.This is the full exception, i would have put it into code display but the option wasn't there
System.ArgumentException was unhandled

My Ms-Access .mdb file is on my website. It is in the App_Data Folder
The current connection string is:
OleDbDataAdapter Da = new OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from SerialNo",
new OleDbConnection(@"provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;
data source=ftp://ftp.WebsiteName.com/App_Data/SerialNo.mdb"));
Where am I making a mistake in above connection string?

My query is not the straightforward connection to MS Access.I am using a third application that places all data in an Access database BUT recently they changed the database so that it doesn't end in '.mdb', instead in another suffix: '.accdb'.The database is still an Access database but I cannot connect to it using the connection strings:[code]Previously I was able to use the second connection when the database name ended in '.mdb' (Database Name.mdb).

I have an application that will be called by a database(this application is called from an access shell that uses SQL Server Tables), my question is do I need to provide a connection string to write to the database or since it is already open I can just pass the insert statement. If I am to provide a connection string do I use OLEDB JET 4.0 or ?

I have just written an application for myself and a few other users to use .rdp to connect to a number of servers, by clicking on the appropriate button. In the full version of the program I have two sets of connections one for when we are inside our vpn, which uses local ip addresses and DNS names; and the other which uses the external IP addresses and DNS names.This works quite well; if the user has stored credentials on their pc for the connection they connect straightaway; and if they don't the .rdp dialogue opens up with the server name/address filled in, ready for them to edit the rest of the required information.The problem for me is that this means I have to code 43 different Private Subs and then link the buttons; and I was hoping that instead of individually coding each connection, I could get the users to:Select by an option button whether the connection was internal or external

I just want to know what is your suggestion about storing database connection strings in .NET? I am using My.Setting usually, but now I am facing with versioning of my application. When I upgrade my application to higher version the value in My.Setting has been changed, it didn't remain as user has set before, but changed base on my machine's setting. eg. the value in My.Settings Version 1.0.0.0 (User's computer) is 'ABC' When I develop again some new feature on my machine and set its version to 1.0.0.2, of course the connection string in my computer's My.Setting file is different with User's computer's My.Setting. So when I copied my recent updated file to use's computer, then run the application, the application read the new My.Setting file from my computer but not from their computer. the value in My.Settings Version 1.0.0.2 (Developer's computer) is 'DEF' Therefore I have to reset and reset their connection strings onve I updated their application, that's too annoying?

I will be developing a program using visual studio 2008 with ms access 2007 as my database. What I only use is this type of connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:mydatabase.mdb;Jet OLEDB:System Database=system.mdw;" but i was asked if it is possible to put the database in sharepoint and I haven't even tried it before. The case is like this, the program that i will do would be installed on some computer units of different branches of the company then the database should be accessible through sharepoint so that every users can access the most updated database.

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 would like to develop a Windows Service in VB.NET to monitor different SQL databases running in different servers. The user will enter/define connection string for each database.Also he/she will define connection interval.
For example, database A needs to be checked in every 5 mins and database B needs to be checked every 24 hours.
