con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & hostname & "; Initial Catalog=college;integrated security=sspi"
but m getting the following error:
Cannot open database "college" requested by the login. The login failed.Login failed for user 'CI4Admin'.
I'm building application that will heavily use database (about 25k query's in few hours) , what is the best way to go:
A) use datareader and open new connection to the database on every client query.
B) load all the needed tables into dataset once the program loaded and use that dataset for the query's?

Im clearly opening it there and its valid as i use the same connection to login with, anyone know the problem?
I 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."

I am currently working on a login page using vb.net. I would like to know how to make connection to an access database and verify that the user logged in is a valid user
View 6 Repliesi want to know how to open a connection to database from vb.net
View 3 RepliesI 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.
I'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
ConnectionString = ("Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source = Database.sdf")

I installed SQLExpress 2008 on my computer this afternoon and have been trying to create a new database and open a connection to it. I found this code online and tried it:
Dim
conStr As
String =
"Server=MSSMLBIZ;Database=;Trusted_Connection = yes"
[code]....
I want to know what is the right way to close my Database connection while its open.
This is how i open my connection.[code..]
I have a connection string in my app.config:
Code:
connectionString="data source=.sql2008 ;Database=Database1; Integrated Security=FALSE; Persist Security Info=True;" />
How do I change to another database (one of many) without using multiple strings? Can I change while the connection is open?
Code:
Dim myConn As New SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))

I am trying to query a MSI to get the ProductCode from the MSI so I can later populate a script with the proper ProductCode.During debugging it "looks" like the database is open for read, however if I look at the oDB object I see this "Error = No further information on this object could be discovered" When it tries to do the OpenView on the SQL statement it throws an exception "OpenView, Sql" I believe that is because the MSI really isn't open for read?I have added the reference to the Microsoft Windows Installer Object Library version 1.0.0.0
Here is the code: (I pass the fully qualified path + filename of the msi)
Private Sub GetMsiProperty(ByVal sMSIFilePath As String)

The 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.

I'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.
I'm trying to insert a new records into database, one of those records is a "datetime"...when I type a wrong date, and try to insert those values into database, i get an error (about wrong typed date etc.)...ok, that's fine, things need to work that way. 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:

What I am trying to do basically is open an access query in a datagrid view and then be able to make changes to the datagrid and then save it back to the database.When I try to save:
Me.BindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapter.Update(DataSet)
It says that update is not a member of the tableadapter... Why is that?

After running the following sub (VS debugger), I try to detach the database in SSMS, but it shows the connection open still and won't let me detach.

I am connecting to an Access database and using a parameter query with the LIKE operator to return all rows that match query. The string to search for is taken from a Textbox
sql =
"Select * FROM Allview WHERE Info Like" &
"*" &
CStr(TextBox1.Text) &
"*"
The query does not return any data in vb, but when run from access with same string, there is data returned.The connection to the database is done correctly, as I am able to return data with various other queries.
