3 years ago I developed a vb.net application that connect to sql express 2005 data base.The application worked fine.e replaced our computers, so we installed the application again. (The same exe file, the same sql server and so on).Now, only when loading few forms I receive the following message: n error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)Note that when we log in to the application, a connection is needed. The user verifying is working fine; it means that the connection is working properly.
View 1 Repliesam working on a project and am using sql server 2005 express as my database server, the problem is i can;t connect to the sql server from any machine on my local network (windows).
Below is my connection string
con.ConnectionString = "Data Source=webserver1SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename='C:POSM_DB.mdf';Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True;"
It works all right on the development machine but not on network, i think it has something to do with the network.

This code can edit the Configuration file in the run Time but if I restart the system the Configuration file will return back to the first Configuration.

I would like to enable my app to run from a central database, but I dont want to recompile should the DB server change. Are my only two options saving the connection string to an XML file or the registry?
If so I think the XML file will probably be the way I go at least for me. I dont really want to mess with the registry. I just wanted to check what my options are.

Does anyone know how to store the connection string in a file rather than hard coding it in the application. For example i have declared this connection string in the form to connect to oracle database and it works. But i assume this is not the right way to go by if one is looking for more secured environment.
strcon = "Provider=MSDASQL;" & _
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; " & _
"CONNECTSTRING=(DESCRIPTION=" & _

View 1 RepliesI have a question about the App.Config file. My understanding is that the connection string is stored within this file. I have setup my application so that the App.Config file is not only written to c:users<username>appdatalocal but also to c:users<username>appdataoaming. I plan to encrypt the connection string, my question at this point is will it encrypt the connection string in ALL copies of the App.Config file? It looks like at this point that the App.Config file is stored in two places on the hard drive.

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.
