Can't Open To Connection To SQL Database
Nov 23, 2011I have a .mdf file that I open through an Open Dialog Box and use in a ConnectionStringBuilder (where I have the user instance set to True). Later, in one of my button clicks, I try to open the connection (connection.Open()). It then gives me an error as follows: "Generating user instances in SQL Server is disabled. Use sp_configure 'user instances enabled' to generate user instances."
Here is my code:

Failed To Open Connection To Database
Apr 17, 2009I am developing an application that is using a Jet database (Access 2007). The database is local to the project (e.g., on the same drive and in the project directory). Any time I attempt to access the database (to create another DataSet, etc., via designer, etc.), I get the ubiquitous "Failed to open a connection to the database" with:
No error message available, result code: E_UNEXPECTED(0x8000FFFF).
Opening the Database Explorer and attempting to attach to the database results in the above as well. There are no apparent locks on the file, etc., and I'm the sole developer for this.
Open A Connection To A Local Database?
Jun 22, 2010I'm trying to a open a connection to a local database and no matter what I try it just won't work (I'm pretty new to SQL Server and VB for that matter) I tried using 'sqlconnection' with different connection strings but none of them worked or gave me any useful error messages so I tried using 'OleDBConnection' instead, this hasn't worked either and it gives me this error instead:"A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in MyProgram.exe"
Here is the code I am currently trying:
Private Sub MemDetailsSearch_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Copy Opened Database - Application Gets It's Data From A Mdb-file And The Connection Remains Open As Long A Person Works?
May 14, 2010The fact is I'm making an application, which users can install by using a Setup file...once installed the data in the database can be updated by a centralized server. To do this, they can insert a DVD/CD-ROM and export the necessary data towards it. I need to do it that way, because some of the users who really need this data will be using stand alone computers.The application gets it's data from a mdb-file and the connection remains open as long a person works with the application (maybe not the best way to do, but I know :-) )...when the user uses the application, he can perform an export...this exports the .ini-file and pictures (which works fine), but he also needs to export the mdb behind the application...I already tried connection.close() before and connection.open() after the System.IO.File.Copy...but that doesn't seems to work.

Establish A Connection When The App Is Launched And Keep The Connection Open Until The App Is Closed?
May 20, 2010I'm developing a device app in VB.net that will access a SQL Server database. I need to establish a connection when the app is launched, and keep the connection open until the app is closed. I've done the following:In the Master Module:
Public CNN
As SqlConnection
In the Main menu form load:
CNN =
New SqlConnection(sqlConnString)
CNN.Open()
Then when I want to read from the database:
Dim sqlDR
As SqlDataReader
SQL = "SELECT Name FROM Table"
[code]....
When I run the same code without the global CNN, but rather dim the connection inside the Select function, all works well.
The Connection Was Not Closed. The Connection's Current State Is Open

But here comes the problem, I correct the date, and then try to insert values again...here I get an error from the post title. And this doesn't work until I close that form and run it again...here's part of my code:

View 7 RepliesKeep A Odbc Connection Open?
Jan 14, 2011I'm trying to connect to a database and keep the connection open for any amount of user activity/queries within the database. Currently I have a connection that opens and closes for any query (save, update, etc...) which requires the logon process to the back-end every time the user saves etc... Is there a way to simply connect and leave the connection open so there won't be a lag time when running the query due to the logon process? This is what I'm using:

DB/Reporting :: SQL Connection Open/close?
Dec 16, 2011SQL 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?
