I hv a glaring issue and no solution—
This code works fine in VS 2005 but fails in Vs.NET 2003.
Using OLEDB, it works in VS.NET 2003, but the code used below fails. I cannot change the lines below and cannot upgrade the solution to VS 2005.
Now pl tell me what s going wrong!! I seriously lack experts here to bail me out J
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Exception
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub
'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
Friend WithEvents Button1 As System.Windows.Forms.Button
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Me.Button1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Button
Me.SuspendLayout()
'
'Button1
'
Me.Button1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(88, 194)
Me.Button1.Name = "Button1"
Me.Button1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(96, 48)
Me.Button1.TabIndex = 0
Me.Button1.Text = "Connect to DB"
'
'Form1
'
Me.AutoScaleBaseSize = New System.Drawing.Size(5, 13)
Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(292, 273)
Me.Controls.Add(Me.Button1)
Me.Name = "Form1"
Me.Text = "Form1"
Me.ResumeLayout(False)
End Sub
#End Region
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim sConnect As String
Dim adoConn As SqlConnection
Try
' sConnect = "SERVER=10.48.136.157;UID=Maxmillion;PWD=peabody;DATABASE=Insurance_383;" _
'& "connect timeout=0;"
sConnect = "data source=tcp:10.48.136.157;Initial Catalog=Insurance_383;User ID=Maxmillion;Password=peabody;"
adoConn = New SqlConnection
adoConn.ConnectionString = sConnect
'adoConn.Open(sConnect)
adoConn.Open()
MsgBox("Yeh!! we got connected", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
adoConn.Close()
adoConn.Dispose()
Catch exSQL As SqlException
MsgBox(exSQL.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Connection Error")
Catch ex As Exception
ex.Source = ex.Source & vbCr & "form1->button1_Click"
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)
Finally
adoConn.Dispose()
End Try

Connection string working with 2005 but failing with 2003.
Visio User
SQL Server doesn't exist or Access denied at adoConn.Open()

Hello!
Did you ever find a solution for this issue I'm having the exact same symptoms. I upgraded from MSDE 2000 to Sql Server 2005 (Standard), and now I cannot connect from VS2003 via the SqlClient objects. OleDB works great, and I have no problems in VS 2005's SqlClient objects. All three products are on the same machine, so it's not a network issue.
Thanks in advance!

Is your sql server listening at the default port
Change the connectionstring to this:
"Data Source=10.48.136.157,1433;Initial Catalog=Insurance_383;User ID=Maxmillion;Password=peabody;
