I am trying connect to a SQL Server database i have created using Visual Basic.Both reside on my local machine (PAUL-PC).Here is what i have done so far but i am missing something (or more worryingly i have got it completely wrong).[code]So i have an MDI form and i want to make a connection to SQL Server when that form loads.I do not want to use a DSN if possible so am trying to use Oledb. Not sure also of the DataAdaptor declaration as in previous versions i used many years ago it was recordset.I would like to use a trusted connection to connect.

I've been doing a self studies on visual basic and I thought I've learned a lot but still I realized that I still have something more to learn. I want to learn the basic fundamentals on SQL for its database operations such as adding,editing, and deleting records. I would say I'm new to SQL because as far as I've used VB, I've been using LINQ(Language Integrated Queries) for database operation. I've been doing a lot of research online on how to start and connect to SQL but I find hard to make it on my own cause all I've got is an error during runtime.

View 1 RepliesWe have developed a VB 2008 app that uses SQL Server 2005 Express to store data collected by this app. This app has been designed to allow multiple connections to the one centralized database.
I have ran a few tests, and confirmed that if one computer running our app is accessing a database residing on a different computer,and the network connection between two computers has been severed, it would take approximately 3.5 minutes before I would get a connection timed out exception error from within my code.
I have deliberately set the ConnectTimeout property in the SQL connection string to be 15 seconds. But some how, SQL database engine still retries until approx. 3.5 minutes later.
My thinking is that I have a subroutine that would attempt to open a database once a minute.If the open attempt is not successful, and resulted in an exception, then I would popup a message to notify the user that the connection is not available.
Doing it this way, I have confirmed that it would take about 1.5 minutes for it to re-establish the connection, once the actual network connection has been restored.
To make the long story short, I would like to find a way to shorten the detection for a broken connection, and let the user know sooner, rather than locking up the app during the 3.5 minutes period has elapsed, and at the mercy of the SQL database engine to timeout. And why would it take 3.5 minutes to timeout the connection attempt when I had explicitly use 15 seconds in my connection string?
