DB/Reporting :: Using Service-based Database As Remote Database?
Sep 20, 2011Recently working in vb 2010 express. I'm using service-based database which is based on SQL Server. This database will be deployed at the server. Is it possible that multiple vb.net programs, which are installed in remote computers or client computers in the same network, connect to this database simultaneously? Does the service-based database support multiple connections?
View 1 RepliesConnection To A Remote MySQL Database?
Jun 21, 2010I'm trying to make a rather simple Visual Basic app with which I can update some tables within my MySQL databases.I've been following this tutorial from page 3 on, as the first 2 pages where on how to initialize a local MySQL database.My MySQL database is on my website, so I thought I had to use the website's name instead of "localhost". Anyways, I now use this code:
Dim connection As MySqlConnection
connection = New MySqlConnection()
connection.ConnectionString = "Server=resload.com; Uid=***; Pwd=***; Database=***;"
[code]....
But it popups (don't now whether that's a real word :p) with the message:Error Connecting to Database: Access denied for user '***'@'my ipaddress' (using password: YES)?
DB/Reporting :: Remote Access Of A SQLEXPRESS Database Using VB2008?
Jun 24, 2008I'm currently designing a client application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 database. My app is being used to display data, allows users to run reports and stats on the data. It is being developed using VB2008. Within my VB2008 project, the connection string to the DB is made via SQLEXPRESS.
The road block that I'm running into right now is that it only allows me to connect to a local DB file (.mdf) only. I tried to connect to a different DB file on a server within the same network domain, and it generated the following error:
"The file "U:Data.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files. An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file U:Data.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share." (where U: is a mapped network drive).
Below is the actual connection string in my code:
"SERVER=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=U:Data.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
The intention is to have the DB reside on a server, where there is another application that runs as a service to collect the data and then populates this DB. Then my app would just connect to the database, and allows users to run reports based on the data in the DB.
I heard that this is the limitation of SQLEXPRESS: it will not allow connection to a remote database. This is true? If so, is there anyway that I can get around this limitation?
The main reason that I chose SQLEXPRESS in the first place is that because of the licensing issue. The company that I work for do not want to make the users of our software app have to purchase additional license for the full-blown SQL Server Enterprise edition. I also heard that SQL Server Enterprise edition does allow you to connect to a remote DB (.mdf) file.
Remote Connection To A Sql2005 Database Through Hamachi/VPN?
Oct 20, 2010I would like to test a remote connection to a local Sql 2005 Database first thru Hamachi using a small exe that would be set on the client machine to let me know if the connection was successful or not, in the close future the connection would change to be set thru a VPN but for now i would like to accomplish this by using Hamachi software.i want to code the client .NET exe file to connect to the server, Hamachi gives an IP address and hostname once installed on the "server" machine so i wonder how should i include both in the connection string of the client exe file.

View 4 RepliesDB/Reporting :: Rdp Connection String From Database?
Sep 24, 2009I 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

View 6 RepliesDB/Reporting :: Access-database Connection Provider (like Dao Or Ado.net) That Works On A 64 Bit Machine?
Jul 8, 2010I've created a small DLL, an addin for Autodesk Inventor, this addin saves some information provided by the user and the program to an access(mdb)database.The whole idea behind this is that it allows users to quickly find drawings, assemblies and so on.The DLL works great on x86 systems however it has issues on x64 because I used ado.net.In a attempt to solve it I forced .net to compile it with the target x86 CPU settings.
However using this I'm unable register the dll (C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727RegAsm.exe /codebase SavetoDatabase.dll )It says its not a proper .net dll file and therefore cannot be registered.
is there any other access-database connection provider (like dao or ado.net) that works on a 64 bit machine? Or do I need to change from mdb databases to another type (like mysql)? because sooner or later all machines its running on will be converted to x64.Or do I need to register the dll in another way?I've also tried to replace the conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 with ACE, with no luck however

TCP / IP Server - Remote Connection Fails To Connect
Mar 27, 2009I've came across a little problem with my tcp / ip server. My client can connect to it with 127.0.0.1 ( localhost ), and 192.168.0.X, but every remote connection fails to connect.
Here's the connection rituals:
Server
listener = New System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, Port)
listener.Start()
listenThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf doListen)
listenThread.IsBackground = True
listenThread.Start()
Client
client = New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient(IP, Port)
client.GetStream.BeginRead(readBuffer, 0, BYTES_TO_READ, AddressOf DoRead, Nothing)
WMI Connection To A Remote Machine Using Specified Administrator Credentials
Apr 3, 2010I'm having an issue here with making a WMI connection to a remote machine using specified administrator credentials.I have the WMI code inside a function, I pass it the computer's name and it returns the WMI information that I am requesting as a string (or in this particular case, an integer) from the remote machine. I'm positive it works, and returns the information I need using specified admin username/password. NOW, the issue I am having is related to (it seems) calling this function from a backgroundworker. [code] "Value does not fall within the expected range." I literally have no clue why this would throw that exception, yet when I call this function from lets say just a random button on my form, it works beautifully. The key here is that I need my WMI requests/processing to run in the background.

Sep 29, 2011I'm looking to write a custom program in VB.NET / C++ / C# that would allow me to monitor a system's vitals over a Remote Desktop Connection. I'm only looking for tips on how to implement a connection like this in code (eg. is it just a simple object or call to a WScript function? or is it much more sophisticated?). As to the specifics of operation after making the connection, I have that figured out based on another program which shares some similar features. This doesn't have to go through an RDP connection, I'm definitely looking for better ways. Reason I mention RDP is because I currently do this manually over an RDP connection, but I don't wanna have to constantly open the window.
