Cool, that saves some questions. You probably also tried replacing the computername with an IP-address/port number combination?

Last thing to verify would be the Sql Browser Service[^].

What VPN-software are you using?

Good Day Eddy

i have enabled the SQl Browser and changed my Connection string to be something like this

Data Source=tcp:196.211.164.122\ABC\SUTSVR,1433;Initial Catalog=pubs;User ID=sa;Password=OOPS

and i was able to connect to the SQL Server, and i tried to run an insert on a test table, and i found errors that says the stored procedure does not exist. Because i have SQL 2000 that was installed a long time ago and i have a SQL 2008 instance, i assume it trying to connect to SQL 2000 as it might be a default instance. What i did to confirm this i wrote a query that will return the version of SQL and bind it to a Label and it came back as SQL 2000 and now my problem is that i used the correct instance name, not the SQL 2000 instance name, but it connect to SQL 2000 not SQL 2008.The SQl 2000 and SQL 2008 uses the same port 1433, how can i make SQL 2008 a default instance, because the Instance name of the SQL2000 is equal to the name of the Server (ABC)and the SQl 2008 instance is ABC\SUTSVR how do i change the default to SQL

Vuyiswa Maseko,

Re: Programatically Connect to SQL Server instance After the VPN Connection is Established

Both Sql Servers are installed on the same machine? There can be only one default instance[^], so if the other is on the same machine, then this will be a named instance.

The "default" instance is just the server-name without anything special. If you installed a named instance, then you have to specify that name when connection, like Server\SQLEXPRESS.

AFAIK, you cannot change the instancenames on Sql2000 or 2005 without reinstalling the server. In Sql2008, it should be possible to change the name.

A connectionstring should contain more than just a filename. Start your research here[^] Smile | :)

Hi,
As I read in the link u give me,I replace my string connexion by:

string chcc = "Data Source=BaseGmaoLocale.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;";

My database is a local database,when running the 4 notifications still and an sqlexception apperas:

The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ Data Source = BaseGmaoLocale.sdf ]

Any help will be useful.
Thanks

Yup. As the notifications say, you have declared variables without using them. If you don't want the notification, then remove those declarations.

Tunisien86 wrote:

It's saying that it cannot find the database. You'll need to give a path + filename, or put the database-file in the current directory Smile | :)

Hi,
I did as u told me like that:

string chcc = "Data Source=C:\\Users\\Admin\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\GMAOMobile\\ModeDifféré\BaseGmaoLocale.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;";

But still the same error.
Also,I don't understand u note:

put the database-file in the current directory

Thank u for u contribution

That's a location on your development-PC, whereas your application is looking in a location on your mobile device. To what path are you deploying your database? Try someting like this;

string connectionString = @"Data Source='Mobile Device\Program Files\MyApplication\Orders.sdf';"

If you don't add a path then Windows will assume the "current working directory". That's initially the location from where you started the application.

Hi,
I depass the problem of the database file by adding this:

string chcc = "Data Source=C:\\Users\\Admin\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\GMAOMobile\\ModeDifféré\\BaseGmaoLocale.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;";

and also the step:

adapter.Fill(ds);

But a new sqlexception appears:

cannot found table 0

and althought the login and pasword are my database .sdf,always"can not open connection"
Help me
Thanks

That's a different step from your original code, which holds the line

adapter.Fill(ds, "SQL Temp Table");

Check your select-statement, or post it here.

Hi,
my select statement is:

sql = "Select login from Connexion where login=@login and MotPass=@MotPass ";

Also i wanna now how to deal with the result of the

ds.Tables("Connexion").Rows.Count) - 1

Thank u

Doesn't this statement return NULL if the login doesn't exist? Btw, filling a dataset is a bit superfluous if you're only interested in the result of the query. There's a ExecuteScalar method that returns the first value of the first row.

Tunisien86 wrote:

I do not understand what you are asking; that line in the original post evaluates an expression to a boolean, and takes an action based on that bool.
