ConnectionString Webconfig Statement

Discussion in 'General troubleshooting' started by oguchi, Aug 4, 2010.

  1. What is the full Connection String WebConfig statement that incorporates DiscountASP.Net?

    For example, this is what I have:
    ___________________________________________________________

    <add name ="sql2k804.discountasp.net" connectionString="Data Source=tcp:sql2k804.discountasp.net;Initial
    Catalog=SQL2008R2_753366_bafdb;User
    ID=SQL2008R2_753366_bafdb_user;Password=MYPASSWORD;"/>

    ______________________________________________________

    Specifically, what comes immediately after "add name=" and before "connectionString="?
    I assumed "sql2k804.discountasp.net" but I may be very wrong.
    Thanks.

  2. This is one of the best ways to do it:

    <connectionStrings>
    <clear />
    <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=tcp:sql.discountasp.net;Initial Catalog=SQL_numid_account;User ID=SQL_numid_user;Password=pw_here"
    providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <add name="SQL2005_msftwise_userConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=tcp:sql.discountasp.net;Initial Catalog=SQL_numid_account;User ID=SQL_numid_user;Password=pw_here"
    providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>

    1) Clear, clears out the conn strings, including any default.
    2) Remove, Goes one step further
    3) Add, This is where you substantuate what you need. Including a default.
    4) The Last section named "SQL2005_msftwise_userConnectionString" above is an example of what Visual Studio may name your local connection.
    All the best,
    Mark
