how to access localDB from Windows Service

Question

I need to use data base locally. I have created database in (LocalDB)\\v11.0 Server with Visual Studio 2012. Everything is ok when connecting from e.g. console application.

Answer 1

I think that you need to allow remote connection to your SqlServer.

In the Sql Server configuration manager, under SQL Network Configuration, chose your server and check that TCP/IP is enabled.

In my case, doublic click on TCP/IP, go to the bottom "IPAll" and set dynamic ports empty and TCP Port to 1433.

Let me know if it's enough.
