DB/Reporting :: Check If Sql Connection Is Good?
May 31, 2009
I have a little problem with checking if a sql connection is good.
Attached here i have a simple vb.net program that should check if the sql connection to the sql server is good. If i just run it once it works very well. But if i use it in a timer and check the connection to the sql server every 10sec it will only tell me that the connection is good (V=0).
I have tested the code with turning of the sql server service.
Dim connect As String = "Server=192.168.1.2;Database=Test;User ID=sa;Password=12345;Trusted_Connection=False"
Dim sqlconnection As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connect)

i know this question was asked a couple of years ago by TheMinistered .. but i cannot find an answer, and i have exaclty the same problem (using both VB6 and VB.net 2003) :
When I attempt to connect to a remote SQL server via ADO it takes almost 20-30 seconds before Open returns. I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong... here is my connection string/code:
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Dim strConnectionString As String
Set m_objConnection = New Connection

I have been struggling with the construction of an Access connection string. Here's the problem.My Visual Basic 2008 project is located in a disk partition on my hard drive that I have named S:. My Access MDB file is in the same location.When I deploy the application it obviously will not be in an S: drive on the user's machine. My concern is that if I construct the Connection String using the file designations on my computer as:
(Provider =Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source =S:MyApplicationmydatabase.mdb; User Id =admin; Password =
The deployed application won't know where to look for the data file. I know there are some shortcuts that will allow me to construct the connection string, but I do not know either the designated names or where to find them.

I have created a very simple Visual Studio .net 2002 VB# program. It consists of form1 containing a DataGrid bound to an Access 2007 Database using OleDbConnection1, OleDbDataAdapter1 and DataSet11.The location address of the Database will change based on the user so, I need to make the connection string variable. Problem is inserting the following string variable "source=" & strFileLocation & ";" creates a fatal error

I'm connecting a MS-SQL remotely with VB2008 Express.I defined two different methods - the first one is copied from my old VB6 application, which is working perfectly.In this application, the retrieved data is added to a listview control, not datagrid!
Code:
Dim myconn As ADODB.Connection
Dim MyRecSet As ADODB.Recordset
myconn = New ADODB.Connection
[code]....
The SQL query contain several table, thus I used a "*" instead for the table name- not sure this is correct?
Code:
da.Fill(ds,"*")

In our application we use IDataReader which actually call function from one.dll where weExecureDataReader()
We have many calls in application and in some places For some reason I am getting error message "DataReader already open" but I am not sure where.What will happend if I simple close that conection in the that .dll? Am I going to make trouble to database because one datareader left opened? I assume closing connection will close reader too and gargage collector will manage that left opened datareader..

I am trying to use RAP (rabid application development). So I have created a database with a datagridview to show all information and textboxes to modify the informations. So far so good.
The problem is created when I try to use the search facility on the datagridview. The search is working but the problem is that the textboxes are not following the search criteria . I can configure this manual but I would like to know which is the easier way to configure the textboxes to show the value of my search criteria.
I also want to know how when I finished with the search criteria and empty the search the text boxes to make the connections back as they were before.

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

SQL connections confuse me sometimes In almost every SQL related code on the internet the routine is like this;
* Open connection
* Execute SQL command
* Close connection
Is it good practice to just open a connection when the application starts and use that connection until the application closes?I know that sequential connections are required when processing more queries, but what if I need to poll a certain Table every x seconds? Isn't is better to keep that single connection open for as long as the application is running (and re-open when a failure occurs) instead of opening a new connection every x seconds?

We have developed a VB 2008 app that uses SQL Server 2005 Express to store data collected by this app. This app has been designed to allow multiple connections to the one centralized database.
I have ran a few tests, and confirmed that if one computer running our app is accessing a database residing on a different computer,and the network connection between two computers has been severed, it would take approximately 3.5 minutes before I would get a connection timed out exception error from within my code.
I have deliberately set the ConnectTimeout property in the SQL connection string to be 15 seconds. But some how, SQL database engine still retries until approx. 3.5 minutes later.
My thinking is that I have a subroutine that would attempt to open a database once a minute.If the open attempt is not successful, and resulted in an exception, then I would popup a message to notify the user that the connection is not available.
Doing it this way, I have confirmed that it would take about 1.5 minutes for it to re-establish the connection, once the actual network connection has been restored.
To make the long story short, I would like to find a way to shorten the detection for a broken connection, and let the user know sooner, rather than locking up the app during the 3.5 minutes period has elapsed, and at the mercy of the SQL database engine to timeout. And why would it take 3.5 minutes to timeout the connection attempt when I had explicitly use 15 seconds in my connection string?

I am new to Visual basic and am using visual basic 2008 to write programs in, I have setup a database connection and the connection string is currently stored in the settings section of the project.I would like to have a menu item where when the user selects "test database connection" it will run the sub for testing if the database is established.

I have a connection string in my app.config:
Code:

How do I change to another database (one of many) without using multiple strings? Can I change while the connection is open?

I have been given the task of debugging someone else's program. It previously ran flawlessly on a 32-bit Windows XP system, but now we are steadily switching over to 64-bit systems and this program has "spit the bit" so to speak.
This is App.Config.xml
Code:
<configuration>
<appSettings>
[Code] .....
The problem is I don't know my alternatives are. System.Configuration.ConfigurationMananger.AppSettings doesn't work.
I've tracked the problem to the last line Con.Open().
Code:
Public Function get_quotes(ByVal strDBConnection As String) As DataSet
Dim con As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(strDBConnection)
Dim strQuery As String = "SELECT qmpQuoteID FROM Quotes"
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(strQuery, con)
Dim dsQuotes As New DataSet("quotes")
Try
con.Open()
The error is "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized."

I need my program to connect to a database within my application i.e.What I have:
m_cnADONetConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:Documents and SettingsmeroneyfMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsAsset Manager 2008inDebugDatabaseAssetManager.mdb"
What I need is: m_cnADONetConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = DatabaseAssetManager.mdb"
I have used:System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSystemDefaultImage.bmp"
for loading of images within the default directory. but this returns the app path but also includes "System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath" in the string?

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?

"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool.his may have occured because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached."I am googling and find out the answer to it is increase my connection pool size from to 100 or so.

1.Establishing a connection to a database(preferably one that is inherit within the project and can travel with it)
2. Setting the correct references to the database ( I tried connecting via JET with windows 7 and I get an error that I cannot use JET)
3. Query the database (Access) with SQL, and return those results to a recordset.
4. Loop through the recordset.
5. close the database connection
6. Open recordset and write data to table.

I have finished my program and now i am ready to deploy it. The only problem is it is a multi-user application. All i want to do is simply run the program with the database from a server, and have other local computers with the program access this same database. I know that you have to change the connection strings for the local computers, but how can i go along doing this?

I've been working with VB6, 2003, 2005 and 2010 and I've always hardcoded my database passwords. Recently we ran into a problem where we would like to change all our db passwords for audit purposes. The problem is passwords for different dbs have been hardcoded in all our programs. How can I create programs going forward without hard coding the passwords in? I think I should be using a config file of some sort, but not sure how or where to start.

I'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

I do not do a lot with complex queries but recently I had a need to do some funky data mining for a customer. I've removed the complex bits for ease of understanding. Basically I want everything that matches a date range and a group of status codes that can occur when a product leaves a department. I need to further filter the table for records that match the department code.
