As the error message say's you need to enable remote connections on SQL 2005. Goto Surface area configuration and choose remote connection tab. Click on allow remote connection and restart the service. For SQL express, check www.connectionstrings.com[^] to get proper connection string.

All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia

Hi,

Is this even the case when trying to connect to an mdf file stored in data directory as opposed to be stored within an instance of sql server? I do not have administrative access to my hosting server (as I use a solution provider to host my site) and just want to make sure that I give him the proper configuration solution.

This error seems like your Sql Server 2005 is configured to not to access remotely. To setup it do the following:

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio, login with Administrator Userid (Preferably "sa").
2. Right Click the SQL Instance in the Object Explorer and choose the Properties.
3. Properties Dialog would open.Choose Connections in Page List.
4. Check Allow remote connections to this server check box.
5. Click OK.

Thats it.

You can check this link ~

There are two cases for this issues and the solution included in this link.

1. SQL Server 2005 Open SQL Server Configuration Manager. Select "SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration | Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" then enable the protocols you need.

2. You might need to add the custom SQL membership provider since the most of web server doesn't have the SQL express installed locally.

Ref : http://www.aquesthosting.com/HowTo/Sql2005/SQLError26.aspx[^]

Someone said that adding the SQL port 1433 might be solve the problem.

Example ~

connectionString="DataSource=.\SQLEXPRESS:1433;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DefinaBackEnd.mdf;IntegratedSecurity=True;ConnectTimeout=30;User Instance=True"

Hi Michael,

I attempted to modify the the web config file with a the custom SQL membership provider, but still received the error. Are there any other solutions that may assist with this? I have asked my hosting solution provider to look into the issue as well. I know that they have an instance of sql server 2000 on their server, but no express 2005.

I think this is the best thing. Because the most of hosting providers does have the documentation about how to connect the database in their hosts.. The hosting that I used before never install the database on their webserver. They used to have the seperated database server .....

Thanks. My hosting provider explain to me that they actually have an instance of SQL Express 2005 running on a separate server. I'll upload my .mdf file to that server and use the necessary credentials for my connection string.

Response.ClearContent();

Response.Buffer = true;

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", attachment);

Response.ContentType = "application/unknown";

If you have the dataset that hold all 50 records, you can generate the excel file by using Microsoft Excel object library.

OR

grdView.RenderControl(htw);

Instead of doing like that, I think you should loop though the dataset that has all 50 records.

Godaddy ?!

I have been hosting my web site with godaddy for about 6 month now (shared hosting). Recently, I am experiencing a huge delay when sending emails (45 min or more). I tried contacting their support and this was their response:

Unfortunately, when messages are sent from scripts on a Windows shared hosting account, there should be a 30 minute to an hour delay. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Let us know if we can help you in any other way.

First of all my application is not a script, it is ASP.NET application,
second of all I definitely did not expect that kind of answer.
My application must be able to interact with user via email and that kind of a delay is completely intolerable.
When I called their support I was put on perpetual hold... I am pretty mach fed up with GoDaddy...

Does anyone else have similar issue with GoDaddy.
Can anyone suggest another non expensive reliable host?

I have found that emails can be pretty slow, I just implimented them last night. One suggestion - use a different mail server to the one they provide. It's their mail server that is the bottleneck, surely ?

Hi Chris.
Thanks for reply. It is definitely their mail server.
I thought of installing an email server on my home PC but that means that I'll have to relay my messages through my ISP and when someone looks at the email and discovers that I am using "Rogers" (local provider) it will seem unprofessional.

Do you know any other strategies to tackle this issue? I honestly think to move to another hosting provider. I had way to many issues with GoDaddy.

How would someone work out what server the email went through, without doing a lot of digging ?

IE Cookie Problem

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with deleting a cookie in internet explorer. I've got some code that calls the Response.Cookies[CookieName].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-30); line to try to delete a cookie.

This works fine in Firefox and Safari (haven't tried any others) but it just doesn't work at all in internet explorer 7. I'm really at a loss as to why this is. Any ideas?

I've also tried creating a new cookie with a negative expiration date that has the same name as the old cookie but this doesn't work in IE either (works fine in firefox and safari again).

Thanks

Finn

1. did you delete the cookie? I think you don't need to minus off 30 years for deleting the cookie. you can just minus 1 day to make the cookie expired.

Example ~

if ( Request.Cookies["UserSettings"] != null )<br />
        {<br />
            HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie ("UserSettings");<br />
            myCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays (-1d);<br />
            Response.Cookies.Add (myCookie);<br />
        }

Ref: How to: Delete a Cookie [^]

2. Make sure both cookies (the one you already created and the one that you added to clear the cookies ) are in the same path.

I am new to ASP.Net. I worked very little with ASP.Net1.1. Now I am learning 2.0. I have created simple 3 pages application and stored in my local drive. The files aspx and aspx.cs are there in my local. Now I would like to open my application to develop more. How can I do that? Like in asp.net1.1, I used to have a .sln file. If I click the file it used to load the entire application in VS 2003.. Please do tell me how can I open my existing application and work more? Thank you.

You need to use Open Website to open it. By default, .NET 2 doesn't include the solution files for Web Site solutions.
