I made account with a hosting service and they give me sql username, password and hostname... then I created database, created table and inserted some data. Now I want to connect it to my program (windows phone 7.1) by using Microsoft Sync Framework. Can someone help me with that?
When I go to database explorer and press add connection I see these options but don't know which to use:
Microsoft Access Database File
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5
Microsoft SQL Server Database File
this here should help you:

Your thinking about the Mobile Platform like it is Windows 7, The Mobile platform deals with Data differently and that blog post should help you understand.
Wp7.0 = Isolated Storage
Wp7.1 = Database, This data base is accessed via Linq.

I am currently working on a windows universal app project(deskptop App), what i want to do is store data in my uwp app using sqlite database and be able to sync this data to a sql database located on azure, i went came across this online
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sync/2010/08/31/sql-server-to-sql-azure-synchronization-using-sync-framework-2-1/
but it seems applicable to sqlcompact and sql to sql on azure.
Please can any one help wiith how i can sync my uwp sqlite database with sql database on azure.Thank you
how i can sync my uwp sqlite database with sql database on azure.
You could use Azure app service. The mobile apps have the "Offline sync" feature:
You can sync dataset automatically with the back-end data, including conflict-resolution support.
For more details about "Offline sync" please reference this document.
For how to create a UWP mobile app please reference this article.
In your scenario, since you already have a SqlServer on azure, so when you are following the tutorial, after created the backend, in the step of Configure the server project, you can instead choose "Use an existing database".
After the client mobile app created successfully, then you need to Enable offline sync for your Windows app. The sample just showed how to use the SQLite as the local store. Using PushAsync method to push tables to the backend which is configured the SQL Server to meet your requirements.
I've been searching about this on Google and I did find some useful stuff but I'm not totally sure if that's what I need so I'll ask here.
I'm trying to make a Windows Store application and I want to connect to a simple MySQL database that's on the server. What's the easiest or best way to do that? Whenever I need local databases I use Entity Framework. Is it possible to use it here and if so, are there any tutorials that cover everything that I need to install as well as some code examples?
My advice for you : read more about Database Engine :) cause once you connect you DB Engine to a Database : either it is local or on remote machine (Server) its the same thing when you look at it from your application.
1- First watch this read more about this : SQL Server Management Studio
2- watch this (how you connect to a remote database) enter link description here
3- Very important is to allow connection from Remote Machine enter link description here
4- Once you are able to connect to the remote database from your SQL Server, everythg is the same on EF.
I've been a developer for a long time but I've never laid my hands on sql databases (I know, not smart of me). Anyway, I need to a create a databse on windows azure sql, design the tables and columns, and then access it using (Entity Framework , Entity Client, etc) from my ASP.NET Web Application.
I've followed this tutorial to create the database http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/how-to-guides/sql-database/ , I successfully created everything, just don't know how to connect to it now. Also, when I click on Manage on windows azure, I can see that the sql database (not the server) is prompting me to create a database ... inside my database which confused me a lot.
I've had a look at these, still not sure if that's what I'm looking for
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ff951633.aspx
All I need is a simply tutorial that would explain how do I connect to my database in order to design it (columns and tables), and then how do I access, read, write data from an ASP.NET Web Application
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 (I have 2012 installed as well), and can download whichever tool that would allow me to connect that dabatase.
Please help
The designer is not supported in Azure SQL..
You can instead us this link : https://SERVERNAMEGOESHERE.database.windows.net/
that contains an online database editor, or you could use a localdatabase first and then deploy through management studio
if you need your connectionstring later you can get this through windows azure portal --> your database --> Quick glance --> SHOW Connectionstring
I am creating a c# application which requires to use a database and i am also planning to create an installer for my application. I just want to ask which database would be best to use in my application and how do i install it on a user machine while installing my application through installer file.
I have thought of using MYSQL database but for that u need to have MYSQL installed.
Update
i want each user to have there own instance of database when they install the application
You do not have to ship a full database server with your application; only the redistributable runtime which your application would use to connect to the actual database server remotely. In the case of MySQL, you only need the assemblies.
Applications I wrote relied heavily on SQL Server. In order to simplify evaluations and the initial deployment, the installer would install SQL Server Express (installed as an application specific instance). This is an approach I'd recommend if your application is intended to a centralised database.
What is key to understand, especially with commercial application, is that the database engine you install may have to co-exist with existing versions of the respective database engine. That is why application specific instances was created for SQL Server Express.
The alternatives, which are embedded, are:
SQLite.net
SQL Server Compact Edition. The deployment process is well defined.
VistaDB
Embedded databases have some challenges when deployed as part of a server application. For many years, Microsoft refused to allow SQL Server Compact Edition to be used for ASP.NET applications. If the database is per user, per device, an embedded database may be perfect.
Also be aware that MySQL has license restrictions when shipped as part of commercial software (aka you're acting as an OEM, ISV or VAR).
Have a look at SQL Server Express Edition.
It's just a file which you can copy and a class library which allows to access it. And after you finished your installation you can just delete the files (or to keep them if you need them to uninstall the product).
may be u are a fresh.
MYSQL is ok ,but u are creating a C# application,i strongly advise you use mssql
because C# has a close relationship with mssql,develop more convenient.
My advice would be using SQL Azure.
But only if:
You don't need much storage (<1GB).
You don't save sensitive Data there.
Your users have an internet connection.
It's a cloud based Sql Server Database. And the Conneciton is very simple, basically you connect like to any other Database via the Connection String.

Visual Studio 2010 - C# - MVC3
I am completely new to ASP.Net and I have been working / practising making an MVC 3 application using C#. I have practised getting an MVC application online which makes use of no databases and was successful. My hosting supports .net 4 and it was a simple process of publishing the files and uploading to my FTP. I am making a new application which makes use of a database. I have set up a data connection in the server explorer and set up all my tables and relationships. Everything is currently working as intended and I can create, edit and delete entries from the database.
I am not really sure where to start with getting this online. My hosting offers no MSSQL databases so I am presuming I can use a MYSQL database? What is the process of changing my application to use a MYSQL database which is located on my remote hosting? Also I am making use of the default accounts where users can register and login, will I have to set up a database for this too?
Your host offers mysql hosting?
you will need the mysql .net connectors.
also check this next out for the asp.net membership, mvc uses

You can use a local DB in your APP_DATA folder or you can connect to a remote DB. Please let me know if you need additional help in either of these two areas or if I have misunderstood your question. You may also want to encrypt your web.config file to secure your DB passwords better.

SQL CE supports binary deployment, meaning your hosted doesn't have to have anything installed and you get SQL support, however no stored procedure support (if that matters to you here)
In addition you can install the SQL Compact Toolbox into Visual Studio
