Im trying to user ASP.NET MVC3 with Entity Framework and ASP.NET Membership for authentication. I've set up an existing database as my application services database for membership. When i create the entity data model through the wizard it adds the following connection string to my web.config. <add name="DBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.DB.csdl|res://*/Models.DB.ssdl|res://*/Models.DB.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=PM\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DB;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"" providerName="System.Data

I'm trying to connect to SQL DB from Server Explorer to generate context classes for Linq to SQL. Doing it like described here: http://visualcsharptutorials.com/ado-net/querying-database-linq-to-sql/ I'm getting "This file is in use." error when I try to connect. Even if I stop SQL Server in Configuration Manager I get the same error. I can connect to DB using SSMS at the same time. What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to connect to a DB simultaneously from VS and SSMS? Thanks When you say I can connect to DB using SSMS at the same time this sounds to me as if you've attached the database to

I'm deploying a web application into a server (hosting company). The application uses Sql Server 2008 Express Edition as its database. It seems from the license agreement that this state is ok, as Microsoft says: "All editions of SQL Server Express are free downloads that can be redistributed subject to agreement. Each edition can function both as the client database and as a basic server database. Any edition of SQL Server Express is an ideal choice for independent software vendors (ISVs), server users, non-professional developers, Web developers, Web site hosts, and hobbyists who are

Can I still use datasource=.\SQLEXPRESS or do I need to change it to : machine_name\SQLEXPRESS for a local instance of SQL Server 2008 Express in C#? My connection string worked fine in SQL Express 2005, but with the same settings no longer works for 2008. Assuming the instance name is indeed SQLEXPRESS , using .\SQLEXPRESS will work locally. Use the SQL Server Configuration Manager to find out the correct instance name. What is the final purpose of the app as it more conventional to include pc name. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6139299/can-i-use-datasource-sqlexpress-or-do-i-need

I am trying to bootstrap SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 into my application. Previously I used Wise for Windows to perform the prerequisite installation, but Wise doesn't support Windows Installer 4.5 yet. I am now trying to use the Visual Studio 2008 bootstrap technology with WiX 3.0, and have had good success getting the SQL Server prerequisites, and am able to get the manifest for SQL Express 2008 but not SP1. Also, I need to be able to localize the SQLAccount, but I won't be able to do that through modifying package.xml AFAIK. In my previous solution, using Wise, I was able to collect the

Good morning, all. This is my first question on stackoverflow, so hopefully this isn't something that's been beaten to death and I haven't been able to find it. I'm developing an application that is going to be distributed shrinkwrapped. We have gotten the rights to distribute SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with our application, but exactly HOW to do this is a little more difficult. Right now we're using a standard Visual Studio setup project, and I was obviously hoping for something very easy, like a configurable merge module, but obviously no such thing exists or I wouldn't be posting here

A database that was originally from SQL Server 2008, was restored into SQL Server 2012. A backup from SQL Server 2012 was made and I am trying to restore it on my local SQL Server 2008 Express. However I get an error 'Specified cast is not valid' (SQLManagerUI). I have generated an SQL Script from 2012 and set it so that it will generate with compatibility to SQL Server 2008. However it is a large sql file, around 700mb. I recall before that I had tried to run a script of that size before on my local SQLExpress and also got an error. Is there a way I can get a "large" database from SQL Server
