Jan 21, 2011I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.

XCopy Deployment Of A VB Express App Which Uses A SQL Server Express Database?
May 13, 2005It's probably just a case of me not looking in the right place or not seeing the obvious, but does anyone know if a machine with just version 2.0 of the .NET Framework should be able to run a VB.NET Express application which accesses a SQL Server Express database file? Or is there an additional requirement for a non-development machine to have some kind of SQL Server Express runtime component in addition to the 2.0 Framework?It seems to be counterintuitive to expect that a VB.NET application would be able to access any kind of SQL Server data without having some kind of SQL Server host component (Express or otherwise) installed. But then again, it seems just as counterintuitive that Microsoft would require the download and installation of the new framework as well as a separate database runtime in order for the average user to run an application with accesses a local SQL Server Express database.To me, it runs contrary to the whole concept of XCopy deployment to require more than just the application's files and .NET Framework for an application to run properly. But nothing I've read so far explicitly indicates that a user would require anything more than the app files and the framework to run an application which accesses SQL Server Express data. But...I can't get any VB Express applications which uses a SQL Server Express databases to run on any machine that doesn't have SQL Server Express installed.What am I missing?(Apologies if this isn't the right group to post this in.

most of the example in the walkthrough make use of the pre made northwind database(.mdf)
i will use the database that i will make to get connected from my application. the connection would client-server and what i have noticed, that this is possible if your database is an SQL version with extension filename of .mdf.

DB/Reporting :: Changing An App From CE To SQL Server Express?
Oct 28, 2009I started coding my first "real" stand-alone desktop application in VB 2008 Express. I was led into believing that using SQL Express Compact Edition was the thing to use for my database since it would reside on each PC (laptops) that I installed the program on. I created all my tables and about 6 forms and all was going well until I came to the point where I need to display a grid showing data from multiple tables using what i think is supposed to be a view. Now the problem is that CE doesnt allow views. Here are my questions:
1. Can I convert my CE database file into an SQL Server Express file?
2. Do I have to re-write all my forms that are using the database? I am planning on creating my SQL Server Express database with the same table names and the same field names, data types, etc.

Sql Server - SSMS And VB Express .... Cannot Backup
Jul 26, 2011Let us start with...yes I am new to SQL and really only a lightweight programmer. So I am assuming that I am doing something horribly wrong. I have spent days on the MS forums looking for an answer to no avail. So I am going to give as much info as possible. Application language is VBExpress 2010 and using SQLExpress 2008. The Database contain basic tables, no stored procs, no views, no diagrams. The Application has configured diagrams where one of the tables has inner joins... Tables origninally built in SSMS, but have been altered in VBE.

View 2 Replies.net - Live Code Runs In IIS And ASP.NET Web Server But Not IIS Express?
Apr 21, 2011Having recently installed IIS Express I was hoping that it was going to make life easier for me, but I've run into a problem almost straight away.Consider the following which is representative of some live code:
Public Shared Function GetServiceId() As String
Dim principal As MyCustomAuthentication.Principal.MyPrincipal
principal = CType(Thread.CurrentPrincipal, MyCustomAuthentication.Principal.MyPrincipal)
[code]....
Running the code under the ASP.NET Web Server (Cassini) everything is fine and I can see that Thread.CurrentPrincipal is of type MyCustomAuthentication.Principal.MyPrincipal.Running under IIS Express this same line throws an InvalidCastException and checking the type I find it is now of System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal which is confusing as nothing else has changed.I can confirm that MyCustomAuthentication.Principal.MyPrincipal implements IPrincipal and remember this is Live code, it is currently deployed and working.
