Windows Application Ignores App.config And Uses Something To Connect To Local Database

Jan 10, 2012

The application sits on a virtual environment and when I remote in and run the application, it connects to the remote database. However, when I remote in with a service account and double click the same .exe, it tries to connect to the local host database and ignores the app.config. The code is the same, only the login name I use is different. The login I use is part of the local admin group. Any ideas?

Application Can't Connect To Local MySQL But Can Connect From Command

Sep 30, 2011

We have a VB.Net application which works fine in our tests in different Windows XP SP3 machines. However there is one machine in which is displaying this error:

Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts

Using the mysql command, we can successfully connect to the database. We already checked for any other application or firewall that could be blocking the connection but it seems fine. We also reinstalled the system (no errors during the installation) but the MySQL error message doesn't change.

The system settings are exactly the same as in the other computers. We are using "localhost" as server in the connection string. The "hosts" file has its default values (nothing strange in there).

SQL Wont Connect To Local Database?

Apr 29, 2010

Normally i dont use MSsql databases but i was wondering how it works. A friend of mine told me its almost the same as as using MySQL well i can tell its not.I'm used to use mysql in vb.net but i don't get this local sql database to work.Where does it go wrong after checking allot of things it going wrong at opening the connection.I will show you in 2 code blocks what i actually do.First of all i create a SQL class so i don't have to write alot of code over and over. (remember the class ain't finish but its enough to make a connection)(local Database used and iam working in VS2010 Ultimate)

[code]...

The program should do nothing except showing some data out of the database in a textbox at moment. Like i said before already i know for sure its going wrong at opening the connection.The database doesn't have a password.

Windows Services - Configure App.config Application Settings During MSI Install .net?

Feb 1, 2012

I am trying to create an msi install for my windows service. The reason for creating an msi is that the intended users want to be able to quickly install the service with as-little intervention as possible.

i can get the service to install as a msi but i have a variable within my code that i need the user to define when the msi is being installed. the variable i require from the user is the file path which they want the xml files my service creates to be located.

i thought i could configure the app.config application settings to contain the file path that the xml files should be written to. However i'm struggling to do this and im not to sure if its the best way to do it?

I have my setup project that contains my executable and has my textbox which will contain the one variable from the user.I have an installer class which contains my serviceinstaller and process installer. This is where im struggling to understand what i need to do next. Do i need to override the install method? The current code of my installer class was automatically generated and is as follows:

Windows Application + Accessing From Outside The Local Network?

Jul 12, 2011

I have developed a windows application for my company. It is a multi user software and we are using sql 2008 as the database. The sql 2008 is installed in our company server. Within our LAN, there is no problem in accessing the software and its working pretty fine.

Now the problem is, some of the managers need to go out frequently(for business tour and all) and they need access to this software. The software is already installed in their laptops.Is there any way to access the database that is in our company server ???

We have few static IPs with us, is there any way i can use that here (Using NAT in the firewall or something)?

.net - Resources/App.config Or Database Where Is The Best Place To Application Strings

Mar 25, 2009

I was currently looking at on old application that I am maintianing and it uses a mixture of retrieving Application config settings from both the App.config and application config table in the DB.In the new software I am working (a port of the old application) I have a list of email addresses that are static and rarely change, what would be the best mechanism for retrieving these. Currently I am using resource strings so that using them is a simple My.Resources., but what are the benefits/drawbacks of storing the information either in the App.Config or a database table.

Walkthrough: Adding A Local Database Cache To An N-Tier Application?

Nov 5, 2009

I have followed this walkthough at http:[url]...but I am having problems working out how to save changes to the Local Database Cache so that I can use the bidirectional sync. This walkthough does not provide the code to save local changes,I have added the line of code for the bidirectional sync and it works if you drag datasources direct onto the form from the XSD but this uses the component TableAdapterManager and the method UpdateALL which I cannot see how to implement in this Walkthough ?how I change the local Database Cache and update back to server in this walkthrough ?

Application That Has To Connect To A MySQL Database And FTP

May 5, 2012

I'm working on an application in VB.NET that has to connect to a MySQL database and FTP. How secure is it if I used it in an application that I gave to other people. E.g. if I was to let other people use this application would they be able to find out the MySQL and FTP connection details through intercepting packets or something like that? If that's the case how can I work round this? Also, part of my application is an uploader for users to upload files, is FTP secure for that or are there better alternatives ways in doing that? My server is a Windows Server 08 if that makes any difference.

Connect Application To A Database For The First Time

May 17, 2012

My objective is to connect my application to a database for the first time. I've never done this before so it's essentially a learning exercise. Within visual studio i've followed the "Connect to database" in the Tools tab and followed the connection wizard. My understanding is i need to connect to my local sql server (this may be incorrect) and i cant find it. I'm not sure how to even get started, what do i need to download in order to create a database on my laptop?
