Ok I have a question about connection string in vb.net. Im using the string [Code] but here I am specifying the serverName by its name, now if I deploy my application and send it to another person to use it I see that server name is changing according to the name of the computer. Is there any way where by I can make my application to detect itself the Name of the server present in that computer and use it in connection string?
View 2 Replies[i][b]I have always developed apps for desktops with an access database on one server for one company or sql server. I had one connection string. Now I am in a situation with multiple clients using my software on their own server. This means different connection strings can anyone suggest an efficient way to do this without changing connection strings for each server throughout the application?[/b][/i]
View 1 RepliesI am creating a windows application which required Dynamic Connection String in the app starting (user need to provide db credentials through a form), After entering the connection credentials user redirected to new win form Everything is working fine but how can I pass my dynamic connection to another form.I tried to save it to App variable but I couldn't (I think its read only) Also I tried save it to registry but can't retrieve values.Is there any other option available ? like writing & retrieving ConString to a text file or XML.
View 1 RepliesI have installed sql server 2005 in my machine which is installed vb.net 2008. I want my machine to distribute the database to the clients and make it as server.I don't have that much knowledge of how to overcome this issue as i am awfully naive about it.Let me start it here:I have got an application in vb.net...at first i was using ms access database 2007. then decided to switch on to the sql server since i want to distribute the database to the clients who are going to use my application.When i installed the sql server, i imported my access db files onto sql server database. i enabled tcp/ip as enable in the sql server network Configuration. i want use sql server windows authentication as my default user account of my system for the sake to simplify the issue.
Hence, i connected the sql server into the vb.net through the "add new data source".am done with that...the problem is how do i assign the connection string to the vb.net? Or how do i include a connection string in vb.net which tells every other computer that the database data source is in my computer so that every computer can automatically check it in the network.Where exactly shall i put the connection string...as far as my knowledge is concerned for access database, you can easily identify your connection string in project /properties/settings...it goes here and you put your database in any where.And what is the best connection string do i need for sql server 2005..computers are running windows xp.

Dim CusList As String
CusStr = ""

It ran without any error but when I opened SSMS, I could not see my file attached to the server. Also, I tried to make a connection, but it says file does not exist but when I tried to re-run the above code, it says File already exists.Something wrong with my way of doing it? I want to see it attached with the instance of my SQL Server Express 2005, using SSMS.
I have two databases, one on my local work computer and other on a server. Both have been created with Microsoft SQL Server 2008. I can access both of them with connection strings that contains names of the servers and some other information. However the names contain only the ip-number of the server. And I need the full name of the server and the instance created, separated with "" character. I can see them in my SQL management studio but I need to get them from VB-code.I created SqlConnection-class but it finds only the ip-addressed name. SqlSourceDataEnumerator won't do good because it finds all unnecessary server names that I don't need. How can I find the real name of the server that is specified in the connection string?
