I have a connection string for my SQL database connection called my.settings.GCRConnectionString which was created when I created my dataset for the application. I want to change the value of the connection string but it give me an error saying it is ready only. Is there a way to update my connection string during the run-time?
View 4 RepliesI have an existing project written in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2005 communicating to a SQL Server 2005 database. The database was migrated to a sql server 2008 r2 on a different physical server so the dataset's server name needs to be updated. I do not have access to the database anymore. is there a way to just update the server name without invoking the dataset wizard and requiring a connection to the database?
UPDATE: I tried to created a new project with just a button with the command calling the following subroutine to test the connection from a windows app to the sql server database. here is the sub:

I want to create a dataset.xsd in vs2005, and I am using access database, so I cant know where my client save the application. Hence I used application.startuppath() to get the application folder and appended "Datadb.msd" to the application.startuppath() so i got the target location for the access databse in client machine. Now to create crystal reports I need the dataset.xsd but while creating a new dataset.xsd it was asking the path for the access database, how to programmatically specify the connection string in dataset.xsd so that i can create a connection string. and use that dataset for creating crystal reports.
View 2 RepliesI have a vb.net 2010 windows forms application with a strongly typed dataset. I am storing the database connection path in a txt file so that the database's location may be changed in the future for whatever reason. The typical location of the connection is the read only app.config from what I gather. I have the datasets modifier set as public but I am having trouble finding how to access the connection object for the adapter.
View 5 RepliesI'm sorry but Microsoft did not think about this very well. I have used the dataset wizard to connect to my sql server and the connection string was placed in the app.config file. The only problem with this is that you can not write to it nor change string at runtime. So I need a way for each one of my users to specify their connection either during installation or after installation. I would appreciate any help in this matter.

The way the code is suppose to work is that when a user logs in, the application gets the user's site ID (gvUserSite), then uses that to set the connection string. But when I log on with a SiteID of "21" it always uses the Case Else value. Also when I set breakpoints in settings.vb the application never stops on the breakpoints I set during runtime. As if the breakpoints were never set. Also if I put any code in the "MySettings_SettingChanging" in settings.vb I get a runtime error
"The debugger cannot continue running the process. Process was terminated.

It seems like it should be pretty simple, I take in a file name as a parameter, create a new name for it, delete it, then try to copy it back from an older version of the same file, and update the connection string. However, it continually tells me that "The file 'filenamehere' already exists." If I set overwrite to true then it goes through just fine, except it doesn't actually copy the file. Obviously I also check the folder, and the file does in fact Not exist...I've also checked all the file paths and what-not, they are all accurate.

I understand the possibilities for encrypting a connection string in .net v4. I have a win forms application that will be used by multiple people on different machines. I understand that I need to protect the connection string at time of the app being first run on the target machine. However I am concerned that for a period of time my connection string will be unencrypted. I am looking for advice in how to deploy my app with the connection string already encrypted or encrypted during installation. encrypting the connection string in a secure way?
View 1 RepliesI'm developing an app in vb.net (visual studio 2008). I have a Teradata back-end that will be supporting multiple users in a production environment. I need to use variables in the connection string as the user/pass will be changed every 3 months.
For the gist of the application:
In it's most basic form - I have a search form which works correctly - it pulls results into a listbox and the user then double clicks the list box which will then open a form that is bound via table adapter to the back-end table (Teradata). My connection string is fine everywhere in the application. My problem is using a modified connection string for the "fill" function of the table adapter once the form is opened.
I'm using the code below for the on-load event and keep getting an "invalid connection string" - again, the connection string works fine everywhere else in the app, and the variables etc... are working correctly.

View 1 RepliesOn the server side of my application I have a function like this:
public function GetDS as MyTypedDS
Dim dsRetVal as new MyTypedDS
'Make fantastic things with the dataset
return dsRetVal
end function
On the client side I call this function through a generated "service reference":
Dim ds as Reference1.MyTypedDS = myRefInst.GetDS
How can I disable schema serializaion of the typed dataset to reduce the traffic?Is it enough to set the SchemaSerializationMode of 'dsRetVal' to ExcludeSchema before returning it? Or is this option ignored by WCF?
I have created many datasetsets in many projects in a solution. In each case the datatables reference a named data conection such as laptop_rick.intPricing.dbo. In that connection I point to the server, etc.. I should point out that in the code I connect to an entire different db server and this is all setup at runtime, this is strictly an IDE issue. Now I have moved the development server. Now of course when they try to connect to the server during development of the datasets it complains that it can't find the server. No problem just open the defined data connection and change the server name.
The problem is that I can't seem to get the dataset to recognize that it needs to rebuild that information in the xsd file. I look in the file and there are still references to the old server. If I change the connection definition in the xsd and rebuild all is fine but I don;t want to have to do that for each every dataset. It seems that although the dataset recognizes the name of the named data connection instead looking for that it embeds the details of the connection into the dataset xsd file.
I made a basic program that connects and gets content from a table via SQL, it's working normally. What I want is; when connection losts via SQL Server or internet connection, it must continue to list items that it got before connection losts instead of giving "Connection Problem Error".[code]...

View 14 RepliesI have a dataset that I created through the wizard, to pull the data and their types from the database tables and prevent some of the headaches of creating the tables and data types individually.I am looking for where the database connection for the dataset is defined at so I can change this. The reason being is I have added a database connection dialog where the user will select the location of the database server and I am wanting to pass the connection string from what the user selects to the dataset so the dataset uses this as its connection string instead of the default one I defined in the wizard.Where is this defined at so I can change it?
