Error while connecting UWP with remote SQL Server - c#

I want to connect UWP to SQL Server Database. I used below code to do that.
private LogIn GetDetails(string UserName)
{
SqlConnectionStringBuilder connectionString = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();
connectionString.DataSource = "IP,Port";
connectionString.InitialCatalog = "Database Name";
connectionString.UserID = "sa";
connectionString.Password = "Password";
var logIn = new LogIn();
try
{
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString.ConnectionString))
{
conn.Open();
if (conn.State == System.Data.ConnectionState.Open)
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = $"SELECT * FROM Login where UserName = '{UserName}'";
using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
logIn.UserName = reader.GetString(0);
logIn.Password = reader.GetString(1);
logIn.Type = reader.GetString(2);
}
}
}
}
}
return logIn;
}
catch (Exception)
{
return null;
}
}
This code throws below exception
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 that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
So I tried to open the SQL Server database in Server Explorer of Visual Studio. It connection opened properly but If I open the Tables folder It shows
So I tried to open the SQL Server database in SQL Server Management Studio. In that, It works properly. Connection opened properly and also I can view the tables inside Tables folder.
Don't have any idea about the place of error. Maybe in Code or Server Explorer of Visual Studio or SQL Server configuration of the server computer.
Solution tried
Creating a new SQL Server Login account and log in through new the
new account
Enabled Mixed Mode using below command
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH PASSWORD='newpassword', CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
ALTER LOGIN [sa] ENABLE
GO

You need to ensure that the required networking capabilities are declared in your appx manifest. Depending on your networking setup/configuration these are the ones to check for:
<Capability Name="internetClient" />
<Capability Name="internetClientServer" />
<Capability Name="privateNetworkClientServer" />
<uap:Capability Name="enterpriseAuthentication" />

You need to enable Mixed Mode and 'sa' user for logon.
ALTER LOGIN [sa] WITH PASSWORD='newpassword', CHECK_POLICY=OFF
GO
ALTER LOGIN [sa] ENABLE
GO
Taken from here.

Set below capabilities in Package.appxmanifest
Internet (Client & Server)
Private Network (Client & Server)

error connection to database c#

I'm trying to connect to a database from VS2017
var str = str1.ConnectionString =
"Data Source=141.*****.199;" +
"Initial Catalog=****;" +
"User id=***;" +
"Password=****;";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(str))

conn.Open();
var text = "SELECT * FROM Users u WHERE u.Id=76769";
...
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, e.ToString());
}
and get error

It's azure function. If I set this connection from LogicApp, then there are no errors.
Why the connection does not work from the azure-function?
can someone help. Functions refer to the database not with only ip , which are listed on the portal. They have several variants. And on the portal these addresses do not look, only through https: //resources.azure.com. And yes, you just need to specify in the firewall all valid values
I am connecting to an SQL DB from Azure Function, and I noticed a little difference in connection string that I am using.
Pls try and see if it works for you:
"Server=tcp:141.*****.199,1433;Initial Catalog=****;User ID=*****;Password=*****;"
1433 - is the default MS SQL port number.

Why I cannot connect to remote SQL server via C# application?

I am new to C# and I am using windows forms.
I have 2 computers connected together via Ethernet cross cable (no domain used) and they communicate successfully. PC1 has windows 7 and it hosts SQL server (192.168.10.1), PC2 has C# application which connects to SQL server, the C# application as following:
namespace Remote_DB_Connection
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
SqlConnection MyConnection = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=192.168.10.1\COFFEESHOP-PC,1433;Initial Catalog=mydb1;Trusted_Connection=True");
SqlCommand MyCommand = new SqlCommand();
DataTable DataTable = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter Sql_Data_Adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
MyConnection.Open();
MyCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Table1";
MyCommand.Connection = MyConnection;
Sql_Data_Adapter.SelectCommand = MyCommand;
Sql_Data_Adapter.Fill(DataTable);
button1.Text = Convert.ToString(DataTable.Rows[0]["Type"]);
button2.Text = Convert.ToString(DataTable.Rows[1]["Type"]);
button3.Text = Convert.ToString(DataTable.Rows[2]["Type"]);
MyCommand.Parameters.Clear();
Sql_Data_Adapter.Dispose();
MyConnection.Close();
}
}
}
now, when I run the application it throws this error : "The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication" . in the sql server I login using windows authentication.
I had a look here and here they said I should create a username and password in sql server to remotely connect to sql server.
My question is: do I really have to create username and password in sql server to fix this error and connect to sql? I mean is there other ways to fix the issue?
Please help me, thank you
My question is: do I really have to create username and password in
sql server to fix this error and connect to sql?
Yes, because your machines are not part of a Windows Domain and Windows trusted authentication (Trusted_Connection=True) is not possible between them. If the machines are not part of a Windows Domain, SQL Server has no way of knowing who the client is unless it provides a username and a password in the connection string.

Error connecting to SQL server through string, not recognising user name or password

the problem I am having is connecting to an account on my sql server (2005) from an ASP.NET application.
Ive tried using the default sa login and users ive created already also the setting of the sql management studio are set to mixed properties, I have the string connection in the webconfig as well but also doesnt work.
c# code
//string conStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SQLConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
string conStr = #"server=JAMES-PC\SQLEXPRESS; database=projectDB; uid=james; password=password;";
string query = "SELECT [TaskID], [Task], [Start Date] AS Start_Date, [End Date] AS End_Date, [Priority], [Time Allowance] AS Time_Allowance, [Details], [Catagory] FROM [schedulerData0]";
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapt = new SqlDataAdapter(query, conStr);
DataTable table = new DataTable();
dataAdapt.Fill(table);
GridView1.DataSource = table;
GridView1.DataBind();
The error message I receive is:
Login failed for user 'james'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
Any help appreciated
James
Your SQL SERVER configured for Windows Only connections and you current windows user not associated as trusted. Try to configure your SQL SEREVR to accept Mixed Mode connections.
Try this,I'm not sure but hope it will work-
<connectionStrings>
<add name ="conStr" connectionString ="Initial Catalog = projectDB;
Data Source =JAMES-PC\SQLEXPRESS; User Id=james;Password=password;"/>
</connectionStrings>
try mapping projectDB to user:james. open SQL Server Management Studio, select Security - Logins, double click user:james, select page:User Mapping, check projectDB.
Please try the following format If It is Sql Server user mode,
ConStr = "Server=JAMES-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Database=projectDB;User Id=james;
Password=password;"
if you are trying to connect using windows,
then you must provide Trusted Connection = true

Connecting to SQL Azure with ADO.NET

Hi I try to connect to a SQL AZURE DB with ADO.NET.
Here is my code:
private static string userName = "<**#********>";
private static string password = "<********>";
private static string dataSource = "<******.database.windows.net>";
private static string databaseName = "<******>";
public void Save()
{
SqlDataReader queryResultCloud;
string queryString = "select * from tblScan";
SqlConnectionStringBuilder connString2Builder;
connString2Builder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();
connString2Builder.DataSource = dataSource;
connString2Builder.InitialCatalog = databaseName;
connString2Builder.Encrypt = true;
connString2Builder.TrustServerCertificate = false;
connString2Builder.UserID = userName;
connString2Builder.Password = password;
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connString2Builder.ConnectionString))
{
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(queryString);
command.Connection = connection;
connection.Open();
queryResultCloud = command.ExecuteReader();
connection.Close();
}
and I get next error:
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 that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Your code seems to be correct. One thing to try is to set TrustServerCertificate to true, and see if it works. Note it is recommended to set this property to false when Encrypt is set to true. But there’re reports that combination cause connection issues. I would like to suggest you to check http://www.wadewegner.com/2010/08/using-the-trustservercertificate-property-with-sql-azure-and-entity-framework/ for more information. In addition, check again if you have configured SQL Azure firewall to allow connection to your local machine. If you’re behind a proxy, it is needed to add your proxy’s IP address to the firewall exception.
Best Regards,
Ming Xu.
You're likely behind a proxy that doesn't allow outbound connections to port 1433, which is the only port you can use with SQL Azure:
The Windows Azure SQL Database service is only available with TCP port
1433. To access a SQL Database database from your computer, ensure that your firewall allows outgoing TCP communication on TCP port 1433.
I'm in this situation as well, and the most promising / challenging solution appears to be this port bridging application technique, but the solution itself is dated and needs an older version of VS than I have installed, so I'm looking at some other alternatives.

Login function runs different between local and server

Here is my check login function:
protected bool checkLoginStatus(String email, String password)
{
bool loginStatus = false;
bool status = false;
try
{
Connector.openConn();
String str = "SELECT * FROM [User]";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(str, Connector.conn);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds, "tblUser");
//check valid
foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
if (email == dr["Email"].ToString()
&& password == Connector.base64Decode(dr["Password"].ToString()))
{
Session["login_status"] = true;
Session["username"] = dr["Name"].ToString();
Session["userId"] = dr["UserId"].ToString();
status = true;
break;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{ }
finally {
Connector.closeConn();
}
return status;
}
And call it at my aspx page:
String email = Login1.UserName.Trim();
String password = Login1.Password.Trim();
if (checkLoginStatus(email, password))
Response.Redirect(homeSite);
else
lblFailure.Text = "Invalid!";
I ran this page at localhost successful!
When I published it to server, this function only can run if email and password correct! Other, error occured:
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 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)
I tried open SQL Server 2008 Configuration Manager and enable SQL Server Browser service (Logon as:NT Authority/Local Service) but it stills error.
(note: here is connection string of openConn() at Localhost (run on SQLEXpress 2005)
connectionString="Data Source=MYLAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Spider_Vcms;Integrated Security=True" />
)
At server (run on SQL Server Enterprise 2008)
connectionString="Data Source=SVR;Initial Catalog=Spider_Vcms;User Id=abc;password=123456;" />
anyone have an answer for my problem :(
thanks a lot!
That's a pretty strage behaviour.
First of all, on what line is exception thrown? When calling Fill()?
Also. Was identity impersonation used previously and is still on (although I can't see direct relation here, but whatever...)?
This mybe caused by the fact that SQL Server 2005 Express Edition does not allow remote connections by default:
From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277
Click Start, point to Programs,
point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005,
point to Configuration Tools, and
then click SQL Server Surface Area
Configuration.
On the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area
Configuration page, click Surface
Area Configuration for Services and
Connections.
On the Surface Area Configuration
for Services and Connections page,
expand Database Engine, click Remote
Connections, click Local and remote
connections, click the appropriate
protocol to enable for your
environment, and then click Apply.
Note: Click OK when you receive the following message:
Changes to Connection Settings will
not take effect until you restart the
Database Engine service.
On the Surface Area Configuration
for Services and Connections page,
expand Database Engine, click
Service, click Stop, wait until the
MSSQLSERVER service stops, and then
click Start to restart the
MSSQLSERVER service.
