Hi, I want to create a connection to a SQL Server with SQLConnection. When I setup the SqlConnection through the Properties and Test Connection, everything seems to be good. However when I run the code sqlconnection1.Open(), it will give me the error of "Server does not exist or access denied".
I have tried with the OleDbConnection (SQL Server and Access) too, still had not luck. Anyone had any idea what's wrong? Thanks.
Please note that I tried the ADOBE.Connection (VB 6) to the same SQL Server and Access through ODBC and it didn't give me any problem.
I am running Win2000 Pro and have both Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio.Net installed
How much of a performance difference is there between connecting to SQL Server 2000 using OleDbConnection or using SqlConnection?
The reason I'm asking is I am taking on the task of updating an older program that uses a Access Database to use SQL Server, but it has a Database Utility class that uses OleDbConnection. I'm just debating whether it would be worthwhile to upgrade the class to use the SQL objects rather than Oledb. Program does a lot of update and insert of invidual records, and a few select statements that usually return from 1 to 2000 records up to a maximum of 50,000 records
I've just installed SQL Server 2000 on a new machine, and fail to connect it using SqlConnection, the error message is "Database does not exist or access denied". But I can connect it with a OleDbConnection without any problem. The connection string for that SqlConnection works perfectly with my old machine. Could anyone give some advice? Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to connect to a MSDE database using the following code:
'set up connection dim myConnection as new OleDbConnection("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=LearnASP_DB;Integrated Security=SSPI;Connect Timeout=30")
'open connection dim myCommand as new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from tblUsers",myConnection)
'fill dataset dim ds as DataSet = new DataSet() myCommand.Fill(ds, "tblUsers")
And I'm getting the following error:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
I want to get the names of the databases of the server using OleDbConnection in c# which i have to add in to a combobox.....the same task i achieved using SqlConnection where in there is a Class SqlClientCollectionNames...the code is as followsusing (SqlConnection connection =new SqlConnection("Data Source=server;User ID=username;Password=passwd")) { connection.Open(); DataTable myData = connection.GetSchema(SqlClientMetaDataCollectionNames.Databases); foreach (DataRow row in myData.Rows) comboBox1.Items.Add(row[0]); connection.Close();} but the same i did for OleDbConnection it is not working using (OleDbConnection connection =new OleDbConnection("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=server;User ID=username;Password=passwd")) { connection.Open(); DataTable myData = connection.GetSchema(SqlClientMetaDataCollectionNames.Databases);//no such method Databases present in OleDb namespace foreach (DataRow row in myData.Rows) comboBox1.Items.Add(row[0]); connection.Close(); } is there any other way to do this using OleDbConnection........??Please help
I was had just finished creating the architecture for a test databse using sql express 2005 and have been able to get the browser and sql service started just fine. However, When I try to create an oledbconnection or oledbadapter to the database using the Microsoft SQL Server engines I get the following error: I have tried using a direct path to the database in the server name and the computer's name itself. Everything is on the local machine and I have not started remotely connecting. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).] SQL Server does not exist or access denied. I am using windows authentication and have also specified the direct patht to the database in the attach database file: Thanks for the help.
I need to write VS2005 C# code using SQL OLE DB to access SQL Server 2005. I have no choice in that matter. I can create a database user with a password like COMPANY", which is a string of uppercase characters ending in an unmatched double-quote mark.
Using Microsoft SQL Server Server Management Studio I login using Windows Authentication, create an account with the password, COMPANY", check the "Enforce password policy", click "OK", and then exit.
Setup
I launch Microsoft SQL Server Server Management Studio again, select "SQL Server Authentication", type in the account name and the COMPANY" password, click the Connect button, and I'm in.
Problem
Now, I need to connect programmatically and run a stored procedure. The password is stored in clear text in hte Registry€”not my choice, it's a legacy application, and changing that is not an option open to me. (We have probably all seen company safes where the combination is scribbled on the wall in case you forget it!)
If I set the connection string in the registry to COMPANY", I get an error like this:
Server Error in '/' Application.

The closes to success I have been able to come is to set the password to "COMPANYNAME""" or 'COMPANYNAME"', which results in a System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConection Exception with a HResult of 0x80040e4d, and the message Login failed for user 'username'.
Questions
Can the password be formatted differently in the registry, or somehow processed after retrieving it, so that SQL Server 2005 will accept it?
Is this a bug in .NET Framework or SQL OleDb?
Is this simply a case of "Is it hurts, don't do it"?
Thanks in advance. As with all postings, my job, promotion, product success, company future, or some combination thereof is on the line.
Public Conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tblUsers;UID=XXXX;pwd=XXXX")Public Conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=XX.XXX.XX.XXX;Initial Catalog=tblUsers;UID=XXXX;pwd=XXXX") This two commands are in my application. I switch between the two so I can test my application. When I put my application on the server, I use the localhost SQLCONNECTION. The other is commented out. However, the application continues to connect to the server with the address that is commented out. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING... HELP!!!!

Hi there, I'm not sure if the way I handle SqlConnection in my apps is the most performant one.So my apps use db heavily and there are loads of classes with methods like 1 using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myConn"].ConnectionString)) 2 3 {conn.Open(); 4 // more code here 5 } 6 7 As I use using the connection is closed and the object is disposed when leaving the code block.I know that the connection is taken from a pool and when closed it returns to the pool as though I'm not sure if it is better to have one "global" SqlConnection objectand to use that object for all classes or most of them. What about the ConfigurationManager, doesn't it slow down the performance as well when I'm accessing the ConnectionString value thousands of times?I hope someone can point out the issues.Many thanks in advance, Limbic
I need some information on sqlconnnection object. I see it referenced in some exercises, and also displayed in the toolbox on some articles, but I'm running .net 2.0 and I have no sqlconnection in my toolbox, but more importantly, I can not seem to drop the data connection from my database/server explorer to my form to create a sqlconn object. When I highlight the data connection (in my case it's machinenamesqlexpress.pubs.dbo) and try to drag it - it immediately goes to a NO icon (that is a circle with a slash thru it) and I can not drop it onto my form. I can see the database with no problems in explorer. I have been able to create a sqlconnection programatically: Dim sqldatasource1 As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection() sqldatasource1.ConnectionString = "Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=True" but how can I create it on my form?? I would appreciate any help on this matter.
I have created an aspx page that uses the SqlConnection class to pull data from Microsoft CRM’s database, and we have placed this aspx inside CRM’s directory on the server so that it uses the same integrated security that CRM uses. This works fine on our test environment but on our live environment the Sql connection fails with the exception: "Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection" This is probably because our test CRM server has the database on the same machine as the web server, but the live environment has the database and the web server on separate machines. So my question is how can I create an aspx page that takes the integrated security credentials that the user used to log into the website and uses them to access data from a database on a seperate machine?
Hi,When using the following controls....System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommandIf I want to change my SQL command and execute the query once again what cleanup do I need to do first?Do I need close and dispose the SqlConnection?Do I need to dispose the SqlCommand?Can I use the SqlConnection for more than one SqlCommand?Thanks,Scott
I am working on a set of webforms that insert user data into a set of db tables. I set up a test of an approach using northwind and I'm having trouble getting the insert to work. When I open the form, input the name and phone, and submit there is no error, but no record inserted into the Shippers table. You can see one of my approaches in the ASPX code. I don't like having to do the select in order to do the insert -- so that's commented off. I'm stuck. Thoughts about what I'm missing appreciated...

Hi all, I am accessing one database a bunch of different times all throughout my code...in various functions and different web pages. Is there a a way to create an sqlconnection that I can access all the time, instead of constanting hardcoding which database to go to? I've tried putting the info in another file and just including it where I want the database to open, but I can't use <!-- #INCLUDE --> inside of the server scripts. Can anyone help
I've an web app with impersonate windows authentication. IIS uses Windows authentication for this app & anonymous authentication is turned off. This app have connectionString in Web.config where Windows autentication (SSPI) to SQL Server 2000 took place. Now I've a piece of code:
public class SiteParameters { public static SqlConnection Connection { get { SqlConnection conn; try { conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["connectionString"]); if(conn.State != ConnectionState.Open) conn.Open(); } catch(Exception) { conn = null; } return conn; } } }
No comments is needed, think... Now, I'm going to use it in following way:
SqlConnection conn = SiteParameters.Connection; SqlDataAdapter dta = new SqlDataAdapter(); DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlCommand sqlSelect = new SqlCommand("spPlanTransportSelect", conn); sqlSelect.CommandType =CommandType.StoredProcedure;
It looks good & works good... on local machine only :( When I run app locally (doesn't matter if I call it by http://localhost/app, http://127.0.0.1/app or http://10.50.2.51/app I take proper data from database. But when my buddy from another comp (e.g. 10.50.2.52) uses URL http://10.50.5.51/app he receives an error in line dta.Fill(ds, "PlanTransport");, but in fact conn variable is null & he receives "yellow" screen where is written that NT ANONYMOUS user is trying to log on to database... It looks strange for me. Any tips?
I tried connected my web form with SQL server by drag a table from Server Explore onto the WebForm1.aspx. page. It created a sqlConnection1 and a sqlDataadapter object, but theses two objects seem not work. There is nothing displayed on property window and when I right-click sqlDataAdapter there is no "Preview Data", "Configure Data Adapter" and "Gnerate Dataset" items displayed as well. I used this SQL server on Windows Form, it worked very well. Could anyone please help me figure it out. Thanks!

Hello, I've got some questions about SqlConnection.Parameters collection. 1) I tried add parameters and I don't know if following 2 codes are equivalent sql.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@FirstName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10));sql.Parameters["@FirstName"].Value = firstname;-----sql.Parameters.Add("@FirstName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10);sql.Parameters["@FirstName"].Value = firstname; Is some difference between this codes? Or in second case is created instance of SqlParamater automaticly? 2) I read that Add method is in asp.net 2.0 deprected. And now it uses Addwithvalue method, but when I don't write value of Parameter to the constructor, can (should) I use still Add method? In this case VS doesn't show any warning. VS shows warning only if I use value (object) in constructor.
In my web app, I have a number of nonvisual objects that share a SqlConnection. On one of my pages, I have a SqlDataSource ('cause it's quick and just needs to wrap a table). Is there any way to tell it, "Here, use this existing database connection?" In my quick and dirty testing, it looks like it's opening a second connection, which is wasteful.
