Cannot Connect To SQL Express Db With Visual C++
Mar 22, 2007
I've installed both SQL Server Express and Visual C++. I'm trying to connect to a SQL database, but keep receiving various errors. This is what I've done so far.
1. Eventually, I used the surface area manager to allow a remote connect.
2. The server and my development environment exist on the same virtual machine, I created with Virtual Pc.
3. I'm running Vista as my operating system.
4. My Data Source wizard looks like this:
Data Source: MS SQL Database File
Database file name: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataETS.mdf
If I use Windows Authen I get the following error:
Unable to open physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataETS_log.ldf" Operating System Error 5: (Access is Denied). An attempt to attach to an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataETS.mdf failed. A database with the same name exist , or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on a UNC share.
If I use SQL Server Authen I get the following error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance. The connection will be closed.
I'm new to this. I really would like help in knowing what these errors mean and how to get pass them. But this is very, very, very, frustrating. First off, there was no instructions on allowing remote connections. I stumble upon it myself. Giving permission to the file, stumble upon myself. I spent 4 days with a You do not have permission to open file error. Didn't realize I didn't have permission.
I need a step by step on what to do. I can be emailed at gregw.energytaxsolutions@hotmail.com if need be.
If this is in the wrong place, moderator please move to the correct area.

When attempting to use VWD Express' built-in web server I recieve the following error in browser window:
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)
I've done the following:
Followed advise on How to: Configure Express to accept remote connections
Retrieved port_address from SQL Server Configuration Manager (i.e. SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration > Protocols for SQLEXPRESS > Select TCP/IP Protocol name > RT click on Properties > IPALL - TCP Dynamic Ports port_address
netstat -ano | findstr "port_address" shows the following
TCP 0.0.0.0:2247<-port_address 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1620
Attempted to connect to SQLEXPRESS service using dynamically assigned port_address with this command
F:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn>SQLCMD -S .sqlexpress,2247
HResult 0x2AF9, Level 16, State 1
TCP Provider: No such host is known.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : 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..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
I can successfully connect to SQLEXPRESS using SQLCMD with flags
- S .sqlexpress
and
-S np:\:\.pipeMSSQL$SQLEXPRESSsqlquery (named pipes)
Using VWD Database Explorer I have connected to my SQL Server 2005 Express databases and the Test Connection button on the Modify Connection form reports the connection strings are good. Lastly SQL connection string property field User Instance = True and neither database resides in "My Documents" folder.
Questions:
Does VWD local web server require configuration?
Is this a Named Pipe or TCP/IP configuration problem? Should Shared Memory be disabled?
Should I give up on VWD local webserver and install IIS instead?

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!

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 can't connect to LocalDB using Visual Studio for Web Express 2012 or SMSS 2012 in a Windows 8 environment. LocalDB is installed and some things do work, however. The basic error is the very common:
Cannot connect to (LocalDB)v11.0.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. Error occurred during LocalDB instance startup: SQL Server process failed to start.
In a command window, I can query the state of LocalDB an "info" parameter:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110ToolsBinn>sqlLocalDB info
SportsStore
TestOfLoc
v11.0
The first two are tests created at the command line using sqlLocalDB.I have reinstalled and repaired LocalDB several times with no errors reported.

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.

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.

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.

When I start Management Studio I get the following message and a suggestion to change a setting:
(I can choose to continue and the system databases appear, but the DB I created does not.)
"Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. Cannot create a stable subkey under a volitile parent key."
************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
Any assistance is appreciated.

I have an Excel add-in that connects to a SQL Server Express 2005database. I've decided to create a configuration piece for this add-inin Visual Studio 2005 Express. I added a data connection using the dataconnection wizard and all appeared to go well. Anyways when I attemptto open SQL Server Express to administer the database, it was corruptedand I had to restore it.I eventually got it to work correctly (I'm pretty sure I followedpretty much the same steps as before), but I was just wondering ifanyone had experienced problems like this? I find it a bit scary thatit may be that easy to corrupt the database by just creating a dataconnection.

Now I want to create a database using Visual Web Developer. I opened the Database Explorer and right clicked on Data Connections icon but what I am seeing is an inactive "Create new database" command.
How can I make it active ? How to create a database using my Visual Web Developer?

I can't connect to a SQL Server 2000 database using Visual Studio 2008. When I try to create a SqlDataSource in Visual Studio the db server isn't in the dialog box. When I manually create a connection string it doesn't connect.
When I go to the server, the db is running and apps that use it work fine. I can ping the server, and I can map a drive to it, but I just can't connect to the database. I tried using servername,port - didn't work.
I open SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and try to connect. In the Connect to Server dialog box, when I go to the Server Name dropdown and browse for my database server on the network, the server is not in the list. I tried entering the server name (and password, etc) but it doesn't connect. A different SQL Server 2000 database server does show up there.

I'm right-clicking on Data Connections in Server Explorer, and selecting Create New SQL Server Database. I've turned on the SQL Browser, so I'm able to select the instance from the combo box. I select Use Windows Authentication, type the database name to create, and click OK.

Hi. I hate to be a noob, but I'm having great difficulty trying to set up a datasource in my client app. The only choices I see in the 'connect to database' dialogs are file-based, not connection-based.
Should I not see an option for SQL Native Client ?
How can I configure SQL Client on a Client Machine ? (no server)
How can I configure the ports and addresses used by .NET SQL CLIENT FOR SQL SERVER ?
Why can I connect to the database via TCP when using the management studio but not when using the visual IDE C# ?
Thanx.

I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
These are my values in my Java app web.xml -
<init-param>
<param-name>DBDriver</param-name>
<param-value>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBURL</param-name> <param-value>jdbc:sqlserver://localhostsqlexpress:1055;databaseName=CORNERS</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBUser</param-name>
<param-value>sa</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>DBPwd</param-name>
<param-value>myPasswd</param-value>
</init-param>.
And yes, the port is 1055 - I checked to find it.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.0 (sqljdbc_1.0.809.102).
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong so that the login fails in the Java application but works in the .Net application?

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

Good day. I was able to connect to a database server using SQL ServerEnterprise Manager. The Server name specified on the tree isJOMARGON(Windows NT). But no server was detected using either VisualStudio .NET and SQL Server's query analyzer.I highlighted one database (master) on the SQL Server EnterpriseManager and chose 'SQL Query Analyzer' under the 'Tools' menu. Itworked. The Title of the Query Analyzer window isSQL Server Analyzer - [Query- JOMARGON.master.JOMARGONJM Gonzalezand below on the status bar, I can seeJOMARGON(8.0) and JOMARGONJM Gonzalez(52)But again, I cannot connect manually using Query Analyzer as nothing islisted in the SQL Server drop-down listThanks

I can access it through remote desktop and browse theEnterprise Manager and the DB.What I am trying to do is create a Visual Studio .Net program thataccesses the DB. Can I use a data adapter to connect to the DB? theSQL server is on the local C drive of the remote computer so it is notweb based.Otherwise I guess I'd have to install VS on the remote computer andcreate the program there.... but I'm guessing, I really need someadvice here.

I know that my problem is in the @DataSource part of the connection string. It works if I use the first two lines (the database file is in the same folder as the code). But not when I use it as above. I think I'm pointing to the wrong place, but I can't figure out the right place to point to. I have SQLServer running on my laptop (I think), so can anyone help me out or maybe give me some example connection strings that you have used? Thanks.

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.

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.
