MS SQL Server :: How Can I Connect A Sql Server Database To Visual Basic 2005 Express

Loading Images In A SQL Server Express Database Table At Design Time Using Visual Basic Net Express Editon
I am new to this type of programming and and have read all articles on adding an image to the database and it seems they all use sql queries to add an image but I want to add an image at design time.

Visual Basic .NET 2005 Express && Sql Server 2005 Express Remote Server
Hi,
I want to make a component library in Visual Basic.NET and connect to a remote Sql Server. When I create a new DataSet with the wizard, I can only connect to a .mdf file, but not to a Sql Server. With Visual Web Developer I can connect to a Sql server. What is the difference between these enviroments ? How can I do the same with Visual Basic.NET ?
Thanks in advance.

I Cannot Create A Brand New MDF (sql Server Database) With Visual Basic 2005
Hi everybody:

I go to Server Explorer, right click on Data Connection, input the server name (that is, my own computer), give a new name to the database to create, and then inevitably get the error window saying:

An error occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connectiong 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: Named Pipes Provider, error 40, could not open a conection to SQL Server)

So, how to open a connection to SQL server 2005? I looked in the msdn but found absolutely nothing.

Please help

System.Data.ConstraintException Visual Basic 2005 Express / SQL 2005 Express
This problem only occurs after deployment, not when debugging. In the table I am having a problem with I have an ID field designated as the primary key with the identity increment set to 1 and the identity seed set to 1. There is no data in the table when deployed. I can add records to the datagridview control but when I try updating the dataset I get this error indicating that the ID field already has a value of 1 present. If I close the application and re-start it, the exception no longer occurrs when I update the dataset. I am including the code to update the tables incase something is wrong there. Any suggestions?

Private Sub UpdateMemberTable()

Me.Validate()

Me.TblMembersBindingSource.EndEdit()

Me.TblMembersTableAdapter.Update(Me.ChurchFamilyDataSet.tblMembers)

Me.TblMemberDependentsBindingSource.EndEdit()

Me.TblMemberDependentsTableAdapter.Update(Me.ChurchFamilyDataSet.tblMemberDependents)

Me.TblMemberContributionsBindingSource.EndEdit()

Me.TblMemberContributionsTableAdapter.Update(Me.ChurchFamilyDataSet.tblMemberContributions)

Can't Connect To SQL Server 2005 Express Through Visual C# App
I've installed SQL server 2005 Express and set up a database called StockData. I'm running the following code in a visual C# windows app to test the connection:

System.Data.Sql.SqlDataSourceEnumerator instance = System.Data.Sql.SqlDataSourceEnumerator.Instance;

DataTable tblSource = instance.GetDataSources();

string strSource = tblSource.Rows[0][0].ToString() + "/" + tblSource.Rows[0][1].ToString();

SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection();

sqlConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=StockData;Integrated Security=true";

sqlConn.Open();

I have verified that the SQLEXPRESS service is up and running. The strSource variable shows the machine and SQLEXPRESS instance name when I step through, so I know that the application is recognizing the service. But when I get to the "sqlConn.Open()" line, I get the following error message:

Message="An 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
Source=".Net SqlClient Data Provider"
ErrorCode=-2146232060

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? This is driving me nuts. Thanks.

I need to add a row to a SQL CE database if it does not exists using Visual Basic 2005 in Visual Studio 2005. I can't seem to find the duplicate record using a tableadapter query. It adds the same record again. I am trying to use tableadapters, but do not have to. Any suggestions?

Here is the add row code I am using...

checkCustRow = PcDatabase1.MainToolData.NewMainToolDataRow()

checkCustRow("Name") = ""

Visual Basic 2005 Express - SQL Problem
Hi all, I have a var called sEP which contains a number. The problem I have is calling that var during an SQL query within Visual Basic. To test the update string I wrote the following query and simply told it to enter the text "Five Stars" on the row which contains the entry '1' in Episode Number column. It works fine. UPDATE JackBennySET Rating= 'Five Stars'
WHERE ([Episode Number]= '1') But how do I replace the '1' in the query with the var sEP (which will contain the actual number I want the query to run against)?I have tried various suggestions from sources including:UPDATE JackBenny SET Rating = 'Five Stars' WHERE [Episode Number] = '" + sEp + "'However, they all fail to update the database at all which makes me think the syntax is incorrect.Any help is very appreciated (I have been seeking help in various places for 2 days now) - I always send small paypal tips to people who help me on forums.

SQL Express 2005 Replication Via Visual Basic
yiotis writes "Is there a way where you can programmatically (via visual basic) replicate two or more SQL Express databases located on multiple computers without the need of SQL Server 2005 acting as a publisher. From what i understand this is a limitation in SQL Express.

Right now i have SQL Express installed on 2 machines. I am able via vb to communicate with each database, read and write data between databases but cannot seem to figure out how to perform a simple replication.

Bottom line is, i need to be able to replicate via vb code 2 sql express databases with each other.

Visual Studio 2005 Unable To Connect To SQL Server Express 2005
Hi,
I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,

"
Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)

Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
"

I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.

I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.

Thanks,

CLN

P.S.
I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.

Hello..

I've installed Visual Basic 2005 express edition & tried to connect to SQL Server 2005 express edition. I noticed that VB2005 Express Edition doesn't have any OLEDB provider for SQL Server.

I really appreciate any respond from you guys.. Thank's and waiting for the good news..

How To Backup My Database Using Visual Basic Express 2008
I have an application written with Visual Basic Express 2008, which has a Sql Server Express Compact database incorporated into the application. I've been trying to follow the suggestions listed on several threads on how to backup up my database and have not gotten very far. The following code seems to be in most threads.

Dim dbstring = "Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=true;User Instance=true;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|ImmuLogDataBase.sdf"

Dim sqlconn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dbstring)

sqlconn.Open()

When run, this code returns the following error at the sqlconn.Open() command.

An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file G:ImmuLogImmuLoginDebugImmuLogDataBase.sdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

My solution is saved on a flash drive which I take between home and work. I'm hoping that that isn't the issue. I believe that Visual Basic loads the database when it starts and it is already open when this code is run. Is there a way to access this open database and run a backup procedure on it from within VB express 2008?

I'm new to this and self taught so explain everything in detail. Thanks for your help.

Visual C# Cannot Connect To SQL 2005 Express
Hi,

In Visual C# Express, I right click on my solution and select Add, new item, and then choose an SQL database. I get the error:

Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251

I completely uninstalled all of the beta Express products I had and reinstalled SQL Server 2005 Express first, which seems to have installed ok. Then I reinstalled Visual C# Express, but still have the same problem.

This is happening on my home pc running Windows XP Home sp2. I successfully got sql working with VC# Express at work on my WinXP Pro system.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Jonathan Kehayias, Thanks for your valuable response.

I had a hard time to sumbit my reply in that original thread yesterday. So I created this new thread.

Here is my response to the last code/instruction you gave me:

Getting Up And Running With Visual SQL Server 2005 Express And Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
I've downloaded and installed both of these (VWD installs both) and have been trying to run through the walkthrough of setting up a web application which supports membership. However, no matter what I do I invariably get errors like the following:

An 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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I'm concerned why VWD and VSQL express versions don't run correctly out of the box (so to speak). I'm not an expert on configuring these services -- but that's the point of offering these tools to hobbyists: So we can learn about how to make some of these great applications using MS tools.
My configuration::

Windows XP SP2 -- clean machine as of about a month ago, never had any dev tools, web servers, or the like on it.

IIS is installed and the service says its running

VSQL and VWD express versions installed (no errors on installation)

SQL server service indicates it is running

.Net 2.0 framework installed (no errors on installation)

Note: I've tried installing on two separate machines. Obviously I'm missing something fundamental.

Would someone please help me go through the million things I [apparently] need to do to configure all these tools so I can get on to actually coding up my first web application? If this is documented somewhere, all I can say is I tried to find it but it certainly wasn't obvious.

Calling COM Component In SQl Server 2005 (Visual Basic 2005).

Hi,

I have created a class library in VB.NET 2005 - (Project name is - MySample):

ISample.vb
=========

Public Interface ISample
Function getSum(ByVal a As Integer, ByVal b As Integer) As Integer
End Interface

CSample.vb
========

Public Class CSample
Implements ISample
Public Function getSum(ByVal a As Integer, ByVal b As Integer) As Integer Implements ISample.getSum
Return a + b
End Function
End Class

I have registered the assembly in GAC as well as I have used REGASM tool to register it as COM component.

In SQL Server 2005 I have used the following script to call the COM component:

USE Sample
GO

-- Declare the variables

DECLARE @executionResult int
DECLARE @result varchar(200)
DECLARE @hnd int

-- Execute the COM component

EXEC @executionResult = sp_OACreate 'MySample.CSample', @hnd OUTPUT
EXEC @executionResult = sp_OAMethod @hnd, 'getSum', @result OUTPUT, 10, 20
EXEC @executionResult = sp_OADestroy @hnd

-- Display the result

SELECT @result

I have got NULL as result (Expected result is : 30). Can you please FIX my code and let me know where i am missing ?

Can't Connect To Sql Server 2005 Database Using Vb 2005 Express
I've used Sql Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003 for a few years. I've started a new position and they have access to Sql Server 2005 Standard and Visual Basic 2005 Express which I'd like to use for a new project. So I installed Sql Server 2005 and then VB 2005 Express on my workstation. I didn't choose the Sql Server option for VB Express because I already had Sql Server 2005 Standard installed with a simple database created. I created a simple vb project that justs connects to the database but I get the following error.

Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
I looked at permissions in the database and it looks ok. I'm the db owner and I'm using Windows Auth. My connection string is

"Data Source=MySystem;initial catalog=AdventureWorks;integrated security=true;"

I thought I'd look at the starter kit to get some ideas about what the problem is, but when I started the movie starter kit project, it was upset that I didn't have Sql Server 2005 EXPRESS installed. Yea, but I do have Sql Server 2005 Standard installed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?
When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.

How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?

Currently, if I run this query:

SELECT @@version

I get the following:

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)

After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.

Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

Dim lconnectionString As String Dim builder As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder Dim cmd As New SqlCommand Dim reader As SqlDataReader Dim parameter As SqlParameter builder("Data Source") = ".SQLEXPRESS" builder("Initial Catalog") = "" builder("AttachDbFilename") = "C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf" builder("Integrated Security") = True builder("User Instance") = True lconnectionString = builder.ConnectionString Dim sqlConnection1 As New SqlConnection(lconnectionString) cmd.CommandText = "SP_add_collection" cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1 sqlConnection1.Open()
*******************************************************************************************************************

It seems that i can not connect to the abc.mdf in SSMSE while the VB program is running. (ERROR:
Database 'C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) )

If i connect to the abc.mdf first in SSMSE, then run the VB program afterwards, it gives me the error on this line -- sqlConnection1.Open()

I want to be able to access the abc.mdf database with both SSMSE and VB at the same time. Could anyone help me on this ?

Thanks very much !

Visual Studio 2005 Connect To SQL Server 7
Hi all,
Tried this for the first time this morning using a SQLDataSource and received the message:
"Database schema could not be retreived for this connection. Please make sure the connection settings are correct and that the database is online. This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and later"
If possible, how can I connect to the SQL Server 7 as I have a small project to complee and all the data and tables exist on our SQL Server 7 installation.

Thanks for any pointers
Michael

SQL Server Management Studio Express, Database Explorer In Visual Web Developer Express...which To Use???
When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?

The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.

Windows Vista Business 64 And Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition Bad Sqlceme35.dll
I watched and followed the Intro to VB 2008 Express, but in the final part of the video, when you add a database, i did everything as the video says, still i get:

An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme35.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Ive tried the fix stated in another forum, the one about changing the "Target CPU" but the option doesn appear, what does appear its the "Platfrom" dropdown list, but its fixed to "Any CPU" and dont have any more options.

Ive also downloaded Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 ENU and "re-installed" and selected repair, followed the steps, rebooted and still nothing.

The problem persists, any ideas, please?

SQL Database - Hit Counter - Using Visual Basic In VWD
Let me get VERY specific.
This site has 40+ pages Using VWD 2008 (Studio 2008)
I have created in local IIS7 (129.0.0.2) http://cumc.lcl
Navigation.master, Web.config and Web.sitemap alll are structured
And all 40+ pages have been built.
NOW I added (using VWD) a sql server database named pagedata.mdf
With a table named: pages
and fields:
PageID - Primary Key (auto numbered)
pagename - nchar(30) exmp Default
hitcount - numeric(18,0)
createdate - nchar(15) exmp 04/18/2008
updated - nchar(15) similar to createdate
hitdate - nchar(15) similar to createdate
bottom of each page is to show 99999 visitors
and under that is to be Updated on mm/dd/yyyy
On pageload should accomplish the following increment the hitcount
field and save it and display it in HitLabel.text
Set UpdateLabel.text to updated field
Save the date the page was hit in hitdate field. (will only show when last hit)

The "tester.aspx" page now has:

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/Navigation.master" Title="tester" %>

<script runat="server">

 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

 End Sub
</script>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server"></asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
 This page is for various tests and will NOT be site mapped.
 
 

Can this SqlDataSource be moved into Sub Page_load above?
How do I extract, process and save the Hit and Date data
for each individual page referenced by pagename field?
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
 ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStringsageConnect %>"
 SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [main] WHERE ([pagename] = @pagename)">
 <SelectParameters>
 <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="pagename" QueryStringField="thispage"
 Type="String" />
 </SelectParameters>
 </asp:SqlDataSource>
 
 
 <asp:Label ID="HitLabel" runat="server"></asp:Label>
  Visitors 
 Updated on  <asp:Label ID="UpdateLabel" runat="server"></asp:Label>
 
</asp:Content>

Can't Connect To SQL Server 2005 In Visual Studio, Only SQLExpress Works?
Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections. Right click and choose "Add Connection..."2. Data Source was "Microsoft SQL Server Database File". Click OK.3. I browse to the database in the MSSQL.2/MSSQL/Data folder.4. Click on the "Advanced" button, and change the default DataSource from .SQLEXPRESS to .MSSQLSERVER. Click OK5. Received this error:An 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 setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) Only .SQEXPRESS that I was able to connect to... i've tried the solution from Microsoft, opened SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration and enabled "Local and remote connections", checked the option "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" but it didn't help. This is frustrating because I can't get the Membership provider, login to work on my host. Please help. Thank you very much,Kenny.

SQL Server Connection Issue! Visual Studio 2005 Used To Connect!
Hello,
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio to remotely connect to my database for the project I am working on.
I always get the same error, when I try to connect:

Code Snippet

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to the SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the
fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not
open a connection to the SQL Server)
So, I decided to ping the server to see if any packets were being sent back to me, on the command prompt.
4 of my packets were sent to the server.
0 were sent back.

Code Snippet

Pinging sq15.bravehost.com [172.16.0.229] with 32 bytes of data

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 172.16.0.229:
Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
So, does the database not allow incoming connections, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help in advance,
Dustin.

Visual Basic With SQL-database Connection And Windows XP
When you work with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition on windows XP, and if your application contains references to SQL-databases, I have discovered that it is important that all identities be logged off before you open the particular identity where you want to work on your Visual Basic project. I have earlier assumed that it was only possible to work with Visual Basic on one identity, the one where the version was registered.

This assumption was not quite correct. Actually, you may run Visual Basic applications with SQL-references on all identities on XP, provided that no other identities that are using the SQL-server are currently running.

For example, suppose you start your computer and log on the identity James. Then you switch identity, but you actually don't log off James. Then you log on the John identity. There you discover that it is impossible to create a new SQL-database in Visual Basic's Data-connections view. An error message appears. Why is that? It is because the SQL-server is busy on the James-identity. To solve this problem you want to log off the John identity, don't just switch. Then log on the James identity again, and log off properly. All identities should now be logged off. Now you may log on the John identity again, and it is now possible to create an SQL database.

Concerning deploying applications for XP. This issue is similar to the one I just described. You cannot run the installation-file successfully on one identity if the SQL-sever is busy on another identity. You want to log off all identities before logging on the identity where you want to install the application. Same thing when you want to run the deployed application.

Question. Does this limitation exist only in the express-editions of Visual Studio 2005 as a drag on free-ware, or is it prevalent in commercial editions as well? I would like to know a little more about this before purchasing the standard or professional edition of Visual Studio 2005.

Best Regards
Ziper
