connection-string

I use Entity Framework Code First , My connection string is in a configuration file: <connectionStrings> <clear/> <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Data Source=PC-X;Initial Catalog=MYdb;Integrated Security=True"/> </connectionStrings> When I try to access the data (something that should create the DB) is falling with the following error: The connection string 'ApplicationServices' in the application's configuration file does not contain the required providerName attribute." What am I missing? You're missing the following piece of code after the connectionString attribute

Working on a common codebase, one developer is running SQL Server Express 2005 and the other 2 are running SQL Server 2005. Everything is working fine, but the connection strings differ. To maintain common configuration and build scripts we're looking to mask "localhost\sqlexpress" to just "localhost" like the other 2 developers. Can this be done? Or, maybe there's a better way for all 3 to run on the same connection string... The solution sought is for all 3 to be able to run on the same file versions in the code repository. I might not be 100% clear: basically I want this: Data Source

I recently had to edit my app.config file to change the connection string for an Entity Framework data model ( .edmx file). But I'd like to know: Is there a way to edit the EF connection string using the designer? The original connection string is auto-generated by the Entity Data Model wizard. The connection string then cannot be changed - it remains disabled in the properties window of the .edmx designer. I like to avoid editing XML by hand if I can (in app.config), so I was wondering if there is a way to get back into the original wizard screen to make connection string changes and let the

My C# program works with a MySQL database. For some reason the program cannot catch exceptions caused my the MySQL connection. Example: If I make the credentials in the connection string invalid, the program crashes like this (even when running in the debugger): http://imgur.com/SfzkVdW The connection code is like this: using MySQLDriverCS; namespace XXX { public class Data { private static MySQLConnection con; static Data() { string connectionString = new MySQLConnectionString("XXX", "XXX", "XXX", "XXX").AsString; con = new MySQLConnection(connectionString + ";CharSet=utf8"); con.Open(); //

For the properties: Persist Security Info=true and Persist Security Info=false Can you tell me what is the difference between them, and if I don't put it in my connection what will happen? connect.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=C:/Users/Nourah/Downloads /Phase3/Salary.accdb; Persist Security Info=False;"; Even if you set Persist Security Info= true OR Persist Security Info=false it won't show a difference in front..The difference is happening at background When Persist Security Info set to false security-sensitive information, such as the password, is not

OK I have two web projects WebProject1 & WebProject2. Both require database connectivity so this is all in a C#.NET project called Common. Now my question is currently the connection string for both is the same and at the moment it's hard coded into the DB class (In the Common project), but I want to move it out to a config file. I would really like to have a config file in the Common project with the connection string in which both web projects then use. Is this possible, and if so how? There's a few ways you could do it: put common configuration settings in machine.config as shown here put

I've configured connection strings in Azure management portal Configure->Connection Strings (linked resources): What are these connection strings useful for? I tried deleting the conn. strings from web.config file, so it should read from here, but it doesn't. Is there any other way? Basically I want these connection strings to override the connection strings in web.config to be used in production environment. I've added the following to the Application_Start method: var sb = new StringBuilder(); var appConfig = ConfigurationManager.OpenMachineConfiguration(); foreach (ConnectionStringSettings

I am using EF 4.1, and I create a normal EF edmx file. I generate it from a DB. When it's been generated I rightclick and select add code generation item, to generate new classes, and use the DbContext instead. I use the template DbContext generator. Everything works fine. Then I trie to query the context: using (var context = new PasDBEntities()) { var client=context.ClientCompanies.SingleOrDefault(_=>_.ID==clientCompanyId); if(client!=null) I have no problem creating a new instance of the context but when I try to query it the problem occur. I get stuck on the UnintentionalCodeFirstException
