Exception when trying to connect to .sdf database
I have database in file C:\Users\Pawel\Documents\DB.sdf
. How can I connect to it?
Simple code below does not work and generates exception.
Code:
[WebMethod]
public String TestCon()
{
SqlConnection sql = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(
@"Data Source=C:\Users\Pawel\Documents\DB.sdf");
string str = "OK";
try
{
sql.Open();
sql.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
str = ex.Message;
}
return str;
}
Result:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify开发者_如何学Go that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
What am I missing? What I should do to open connection correctly?
EDIT:
System.NotSupportedException: SQL Server Compact is not intended for ASP.NET development.
Great :PConsider using System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection
:
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection con =
new System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeConnection(@"Data Source=C:\Users\Pawel\Documents\DB.sdf");
(Add a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe, if necessary)
Also, to use it with ASP.NET, add:
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("SQLServerCompactEditionUnderWebHosting", true);
Apparently, you are using a SQL Compact Edition (sdf file). Have you tried using SqlCeConnection
instead of SqlConnection
?
As a bonus: if you dont want to mess with connectionstrings anymore, please try this.
Do do so, you have to add a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCe
assembly.
