SQL Server connection string

Question

I\'m guessing you get hundreds of these questions, but here goes:

So I\'m trying to get a Honeywell Dolphin 6100 mobile device (CE5.0, .NET Compact Framework) to tal

Answer 1

CE 5.0 does not support integrated security. I believe the first version to support it was mobile 6.1. In any case, you cannot use SSPI with your configuration. You'll have to create a SQL Server user and use that as your connection credentials.

Another thing to try, besides using a UID/PWD to connect is to refer to the server by IP. It's possible that DNS resolution is not taking place properly on your device. Hmm, that is a whole nother issue. Is your device on the same network as the SQL Server?

And for future reference, commit this handy URL to memory: http://connectionstrings.com

EDIT

Let's see something like... if Named SQL Server instance:

@"Data Source=192.168.0.56\SERVER_NAME;DataBase=EMS_Main;User Id=joe;Password=pwd;";

if not named SQL Server instance:

@"Data Source=192.168.0.56;DataBase=EMS_Main;User Id=joe;Password=pwd;";
