I've Create MVC5 APP with Local DB like the following link(step 1 to 5)
http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/database-first-development/creating-the-web-application
And the application is running as expected and now I need to change the DB from the
sql Lite to azure DB ,I have created the same DB in azure (same data structure)and now what I want that the application use this DB ,There is simple way to do that ?
Im using VS2013 for web.
Just change the "source" and "initial catalog" parameters of the connection string in the web.config file.
Also, SQL Azure doesn't work with integrated security so you need to remove the "integrated security" parameter from the connection string and add the parameters "User ID" and "Password" with the credential of a user that you created in SQL Azure.
Open Visual Studio In Solution Explorer
find the file web.config
Look for the section connectionStrings
You should find something similar to:
<add name="testEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Model1.csdl|res://*/Model1.ssdl|res://*/Model1.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;attachdbfilename=|DataDirectory|\test.mdf;integrated security=True;connect timeout=30;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
You need to:
Replace (LocalDB)\v11.0 with the name of your server
Remove "attachdbfilename=|DataDirectory|\test.mdf;integrated security=True;"
Add "Initial catalog=[name of your database in SQL Azure];user id=[name of your user id on SQL Azure];password=[your password]

I have a MVC5 project with individual authentication.
Now I want to move from (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB to another SQL Server database.
I've tried to change connection string from this :
Data Source=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Integrated Security=True;Connect
Timeout=30;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=False;ApplicationIntent=ReadWrite;MultiSubnetFailover=False
to this:
Data Source=PC-GABRI;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;Encrypt=False;TrustServerCertificate=False;ApplicationIntent=ReadWrite;MultiSubnetFailover=False
And the application is still using localDB instead of my new SQL Server DB.
I have already migrated the database and roles.
I have also tried to comment all of my connection string form Web.Config but my application is still working and I can login with my "test" user.
I can't find anything on the web about this!

UPDATE
This Guide was very useful for me :

Follow all the easy steps for move your LocalDB table to SQL server db Table.
1. Inspect the Web.config File Connection String and Connect to Local Database
Change the defaut connection string:
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-WebApp-20190226025646.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-WebApp-20190226025646;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
To your connection string:
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=PC-YWGSB;Initial Catalog=WebApp;user id=admin;password=admin" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
2. Then use the commands for DB Migration "Codefirst"
This is the official guide:
https://learn.microsoft.com/it-it/aspnet/mvc/overview/getting-started/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/migrations-and-deployment-with-the-entity-framework-in-an-asp-net-mvc-application
From the Tools menu, select NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console.
At the PM> prompt enter the following commands:
enable-migrations
add-migration InitialCreate
update-database
The database will be created automatically during migration.
If you already have one make sure to backup all tables.
I'm trying to get my local SQL database connecting to my ASP.Net project and nothing I try is working.
The database is named cinemaDatabase and its using windows authentication.
In web.config I have
<connectionStrings>
<add name="myDatabase" connectionString="Data Source=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=cinemaDatabase;Integrated Security=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Then in a cshtml page I have
#using WebMatrix.Data;
#{
var db = Database.Open("myDatabase");
}
I keep getting this error
InvalidOperationException: Connection string "myDatabase" was not
found. OpenNamedConnection
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.
Edit -
Got it working, had to make a normal SQL server instead of the local MSSQLLocalDB one and change the data source in web.config to that.
Then used this code on my page and it connects now.
#using WebMatrix.Data;
#using System.Data.SqlClient;
#{
var connectionString = "Data Source=DESKTOP-58NGNQP;Initial Catalog=webDev;Integrated Security=True";
var providerName = "System.Data.SqlClient";
var db = Database.OpenConnectionString(connectionString, providerName);
}
I believe the problem is with your connection string. Unfortunately, I don't have a running example right this moment with an attached .mdf file, but I believe something like this will do the job for you, I grabbed this string from MSDN's article on connection strings
<add name="ConnectionStringName"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFileName=|DataDirectory|\DatabaseFileName.mdf;InitialCatalog=DatabaseName;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
Couple of important facts here:
Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0 - This specifies the start-on-demand localdb instance to use. Note that the version, v11.0 in this string, varies from installation to installation, and you should find the correct version for your string. (You should be able to find it easier below)
AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\DatabaseFilename.mdf - this tells LocalDb to load that database file. Alternatively, localdb persists database files in your user home directory, or AppData directory somewhere.
Integrated Security=true - A connection string needs an authentication scheme. Two possible options are Integrated Security, which uses your windows credentials to attempt access to your database, which works well with many things, LocalDb being one of them. Another option is to use sql authentication and a sql name and password to connect.
I've seen this error answered for other people, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server Database project locally.
I'm getting this error thrown on Open() when I do the follow:
SqlConnection conn = null;
conn = new SqlConnection(connection)
conn.Open()
Where connection is a connection string passed from my webconfig. I've found examples online and tried these three connection strings and I get the same error every time:
<add name="TICKETING_CONNECTION" connectionString="Server=(local); DataBase=Ticketing_DB; Integrated Security=SSPI"/>
<add name="CONN"
connectionString="Data Source=localhost; Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Ticketing_DB"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="CONN2"
connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Ticketing_DB;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
/>
Could the problem be stemming from the path of where the database is located on my machine? I've tried copying the c:\ path but didn't have any luck. I've seen some examples online use a .mdf file, but my project does not have this file either.
This is my first time trying to connect to a database project, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
If you are using Visual Studio try going to the Server Explorer and Right click on Data Connections and Add new connection by selecting DataSource as Microsoft SQL Server and provider as .net framework provider for SQL Server.
Under the server name check for the SQL Server if it is listed with your machine name.
Then try to provide the database details and user name and password for SQL Authentication or select windows for windows authentication. Then do a test connection. If it is fine on click of OK it will add the data connection.
Right click the properties of data connection which is newly added and navigate to properties to extract the connection string. Compare it with yours. This can help you troubleshoot the issue.
I am doing Microsoft's MVC getting started tutorial:
Getting Started with Entity Framework 6 Code First using MVC 5.
This includes the creation of a code first database.
It all works fine, but I am not able to find my database.
This is my ConnectionString:
<add name="MovieDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
If I debug my index Method the connection is as follow:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Integrated Security=True
But there is no Database in my SQLEXPRESS Instance, I have checked it with SQL Server Management Studio.
I also cant find anything if I search my filesystem for *.mdf.
App_Data in my Project is Empty...
But all CRUD operations are working fine, there has to be something.
The only way I can see that table is to connect to .\SQLEXPRESS via the Visual Studio Server Explorer. But where is this physically located? Why cant I see the table if I connect to .\SQLEXPRESS via SQL Server Management Studio?
Any idea?
You didn't specify the Initial Catalog in your connection string so probably you are using the Master database.
You need to specify the Initial catalog like this:
<add name="MovieDBContext"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=yourDBName;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I need to deploy WCF. Database is SQL Server 2008 R2. Access to database is only possible from app server because of Windows Authenticaton (sql server authentication not work).
I need to change my connection string to new data source i tried but not successfull.

My connection string :
<connectionStrings><add name="MyEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/MyDatabase.csdl|res://*/MyDatabase.ssdl|res://*/MyDatabase.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=myMachine-LAPTOP;initial catalog=MyDatabaseName;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" /></connectionStrings></configuration>
to delete connection string and generate new is not possible, because i have not access from dev computer and app server dont have visual studio to try it from there.
i need help how to change it.
Please try to change connection string by opening configuration file with notepad..
