I want to write to a .accdb file. When I test and do such from localhost it works w/o any issues. However if I try to write to it from my URL it errors. The .accdb is stored in a folder created from within VS called Database.
How should I set up/store the .accdb so I can write to it from the web?
Error message is
The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Connetion String is
"Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|Testing.accdb"
EDIT
if I change the connection string to 12.0 same error message
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
In Resposne To Comment
I am using VS2010 and do not have the option of in my options
In the bottom-left corner of the Options dialog, check the box that says, "Show all settings"
This is what I see under optionsenter image description here
What is your server operating system version?You may need to install Access software on your server.
And if your Access is x86,you need to specify the x86 mode to compile your project,instead of using anycpu mode.
You'd better use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0,when your database is .accdb.
If not OK, you can try to download and install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable: url(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255) .

I have a WPF application connecting to a local SQL Server database file (.mdf). I am using Entity Framework.
Connection string is:
Data Source=(LocalDB)\\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\\db_SmartPOS.mdf;Integrated Security=True
The directory is changed to the following:
string doc = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("DataDirectory", doc + #"\SmartPOS\");
I have copied the .mdf files manually to that specified directory, tested it, and everything is working well on my main machine, where SQL Server 2014 is installed.
Now I am deploying the app to another PC, where I installed SQLLocalDB. However, whenever I try to connect to the database, I get this exception:
System.Data.EntityException. The underlying provider failed to open --> Sysmte.Data.SqlClient.SqlException.....The specified local db instance does not exist.
The .mdf and log files are placed in the directory specified above. I have also tried to copy them to the directory where the application is installed.
I am wondering what am I missing?
So here how it worked.
First of all I found an article online that specified that the connection string in SQL 2014 is different than the one in SQL 2012, therefore Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB used in 2014 should be switched to Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0. If using Entity framework, this should be done the connection strings settings and in app.config.
Once this was done, i tested it on the other system, and the exception error changed. This time the application was able to connect, however there was something wrong with the versions and i was unable to access it.
I downloaded SQL server 2014 localdb engine and replaced the 2012, and everything worked fine!
Hopefully this will help someone
I have a C# application which accesses a local auto-named database like DB_Users.mdf to pull out user connection details.
My connection string is:
Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\DB_Users.mdf;Integrated Security=True
When I deploy this application on a laptop, I get an error like this
The database"C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\ISTL\PCArchieSetup|DB_USEr.MDF" can't be opened because itis version 852 ,the Server support version 782 and earlier.Couldn't open new database "C:\programfiles\IstL\PcArchie\DB_users.mdf"Create database is aborted.An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file "C:\programfiles\IstL\PcArchie\DB_users.mdf" failed. A database with the same name exist or specific file cannot be opened on UNC share
Initially, I thought this VS version problem. So I updated to VS community 2015. But still getting the same error. I suspect the file location it's trying to access is the problem. But don't know how to resolve it. Can you share your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for your help.
My c# form has an error in the connection from c# with oracle 11g express edition, I've put my connection string in app.config file. This is my connection string:
add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=localhost;Password=LIB314;User ID=LIB_DB" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"
When I want to run a query, it gives me error saying
The 'MSDAORA' provider is not registered on the local machine
I use Windows 8.1 Pro x64... Can anyone please help me?
UseORAOLEDB.ORACLE rather than MSDAORA.

Try using OraOLEDB instead of MSDAORA. Register OraOLEDB11.dll using regsvr32.exe.
To do so, open command prompt and browse to the BIN folder of under your Oracle HOME's installation path (probably oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome1\BIN) and execute the following line:
>regsvr32.exe OraOLEDB11.dll
Also, ensure verify that the PATH variable is set properly and points to Oracle's installation path i.e.: C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome1\BIN
I'm trying to deploy my Application that uses a Firebird v2.5 database to a client machine.
I am trying to use a minimum installation, without the need to run any other installers. From what I gather, all I need to do is copy the "FBClient.dll" to the target application folder (which includes firebird database file). I have tried this and it still reports an error about not being able to find the correct .net data provider.
eg
C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\myApp.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\fbDatabase.fdb
C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\fbclient.dll
The error produced is:
Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider.
Also have copied, renamed and included fbclient.dll as fbembed.dll
I have also tried to copy a bunch of other files to the app directory, as well as placing fbclient.dll into the c:\, c:\windows, c:\windows\system.
I also tried installing the client installation, with no joy too.
Is there a way, that I can use the firebird database, without manually editing the machine.config files or using the gac and going through the hell that I went through to install firebird on the dev machine? I want an application that a user can install, not requiring that it be installed by a developer.
Please note, the application that I am writing is for a single machine, single user environment, who knows how to double click the install button, with the attention span of a gnat, that if required to do more than double click install and then press GO, will simply get bored and press the cancel, forget it button.
I add the file "FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll" to the application folder and I no longer get the Data provider error, instead I get the following
"Unable to complete network request to host \"DevMachine\"."
at FirebirdSql.Data.Client.Managed.Version10.GdsConnection.Connect()
at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.ClientFactory.CreateManagedDatabase(FbConnectionString options)
at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.ClientFactory.CreateDatabase(FbConnectionString options)
at FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbConnectionInternal.Connect()
I am trying to connect with the following
string file = #"C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\Test.FDB;";
FbConnection con = new FbConnection("User=SYSDBA;" + "Password=masterkey;" + "Database=" + file + "DataSource=Dev-VS-W7VM;" + "Port3050;" + "Dialect=3;" + "Charset=ISO8859_1;");
try
{
con.Open();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.ToString());
}
I have included FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient in my project and installation folder (..\MyApp)
Thank you in advance.
You have to grap a zip and copy FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.dll to bin folder.
I wonder how you wrote your application that it works without the file (probably installed .msi) :)
You needed to install .net provider
http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/net-provider/
The database file resides next to your application's exe module. So, you need in local server running or embedded server in order to work with data. For embedded server a minimal set of files is (specifed relatively to an application folder):
\UDF (folder with UDF needed if any)
\Intl (with contents from FB installation)
fbembed.dll
firebird.msg
ib_util.dll
icudt30.dll
icuin30.dll
icuuc30.dll
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
msvcp80.dll
msvcr80.dll
for a full scale server (i.e. not an embedded) a list of files would be:
\UDF (folder with UDF needed if any)
\Intl (with contents from FB installation)
fbserver.exe or fb_inet_server.exe
fbclient.dll
firebird.msg
ib_util.dll
icudt30.dll
icuin30.dll
icuuc30.dll
Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
msvcp80.dll
msvcr80.dll
security2.fdb
firebird.conf (if non default parameters used)
But then you would need in setting up service record for FB
or start it as an application before your application start.
Installation of the Firebird as a service could be done with
instsvc.exe utility. Appropriate commands:
instsvc install -s -a
instsvc start
Also you should take care of two things:
FileName must be a local file, not in a shared folder from another server.
Appending the firebird server IP before the filename. If you are running your app always in the firebird server, or you are using embeded fbclient.dll, than it should be like
FbConnection con = new FbConnection("User=SYSDBA;" + "Password=masterkey;" + "Database=localhost:" + file + "DataSource=Dev-VS-W7VM;" + "Port3050;" + "Dialect=3;" + "Charset=ISO8859_1;");
Some fbclient.dll version will allow you not to add localhost and still connect on local files, or use \\servername\c:\filename format instead of localhost:c:\filename, but it is deprecated and not supposed to work anymore (and can work depending on windows version).
I have a windows Application written at C Sharp, which is updating data store in SQL server 2008. When I am running application from .Net, I have no issues. I compiled application and install on the same laptop. When I run exe file I am getting the following error: "System.Data.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occured while-establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible".
Why I can connect to SQL server from MS Visual Studio, and not able to make connection to SQL from executable file (same laptop) ? Thank you.
Make sure the config file where your SQL connection string should be stored is next to the exe file when you install your application.
Please ensure that you have a file called "projectname.exe.config" right next to your exe. If so, then please ensure that you have the SQL connection string in this config file. If so, the please ensure that it is the correct connection string. Also, please ensure that the user account specified in the connection string has access to the DB. If you are using windows authentication (SSPI) then please ensure the your windows account has access to the DB.
NOTE: the config file name MUST be "exeName.exe.config". The exeName is usually the project name. Just in case you have changed the exe name from the default.
Hope this helps.
