View 2 RepliesI have a project where I added visually and successfully a datasource of MySql. I binded a datagridview with a table.
But, how do I change programatically the password, ip or user to connect with the MySql server? Because it can change at any time, so I can let the user change these values.
I need a connection string for connecting database. I have already used the connection string following.
connStr= "Provider=MSDASQL;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\mydb.mdb;Data Source=SampleDSN";

How do I strip out the data source from the connection string so that I only have the directory path and file name.
My connection string is thus:

View 8 RepliesI am looking to make a data connection with a network server(sql server 2005). When I run the data source configuration wizard, it allows me only to pick a local database file. I want to use a connection string like this "Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=mydb;User Id=username;Password=password;" I know I can do that programmatically. But I would like to know whether I can do that using the data source wizard so that I will be able to use Bindingsources and tableadapters.

I have a two forms with about 25 bound controls on each in the same solution. All of the data for both forms is in the same SQL table. I need to filter the data and only get the data appropriate to the called form. I consulted an University VB professor and he would only say "it won't be easy".
I tried removing all of the bindings and rebinding them to the new datasource but there were still some remnants (probably from the navigator) that proved illusive.
Is the only solution to recreate the VB forms and bind them to the new datasource?

I'm writing a windows form application using vs2008. I need to connect to different SQL server express database files during runtime. There is a "how to do" video showing a technique for this
[Code]...
and then in the Form1_load sub and before calling the data adapter to fill data, insert codes below:
Dim strConnectingSting = NewConnectionString
My.Settings.RunTimeConnectionString = strConnectingSting
The method works but only for the first database. I found once adapter.fill is called and the connection to a database is established, the connection can't be changed.To do what I want, I have to create a startup project to call my main project. When I want to change connection, close the main project and start again.
I have developed a windows form application using VB.Net with data access layer using LINQ-SQL. I want to allow the database to be configured from the application. I have created a form for input and save the input details in an XML file.

View 1 RepliesI am using vb.net and SQL server 2005 I have a project with database classes which are generated from database objects. That is I add a dataset to the project and drag and drop a database object onto it. The problem with this is that I have to give a connectionstring which is stored in the code. This is ok while developing the application. But runtime I want to use another connectionstring, both for security reasons and because each user of the application will correspond to a database user (SQL) and shall have a corresponding connectionstring. Is there an easy way to do this without having to restore to plain all datasets and do everything myself?
View 2 RepliesI have read through some other post and haven't been able to find an exact answer that I am looking for. I have a connection string saved in my.settings that I am using. My database is residing on a server. Now I am going to have to install this application at more then one area and they will have the database on their server. What I am wanting to do is for the application when it is loading to search the network to find the database and return the connection string without the user having to do anything. I know with a web application you can search the machine you are on for the connection string without knowing its location but was hoping there was some feature like that to search the network to find it.

I'm trying to add a datagridview in vb.net, but it does not allow me to change the connection string or the database that should be imported to connect to it. The only thing that I'm seeing is the previous ms sql database that I connected with datagridview and everytime I click the new connection, the window closes and it leaves me with the datagridview with the previous connection that I have. And its not applicable because, now I want to connect it with mysql. Not ms sql. Its some sort of a cache like feature in vb.net, how do I get rid of it. so that I can add the new connection for mysql? Do I need to reinstall visual studio 2008?
