Can you elaborate on what "my web" is? Is this a web host?

Chances are that you are uploading to a system that does not have SQL Server Express installed on it, but rather a full version of SQL Server. The full versions don't use the dynamic attach that SQL Server Express uses. You need to have a database set up on the host's database server.

Did you read the article I linked to? It describes the steps you need to perform to use SQL Server in your ASP.NET applications.

If 208.116.16.3 is not the IP of your local machine or that machine is not running SQL Server Express, you can't use AttachDbFilename. Instead, you need to attach the database to SQL Server. Then you need to setup the correct connection string to the server.

All of this is described in my article.

Dear Imar,
 i checked your atricle which u linked it, but seems not satisfay what i looking for.

Pls check the link below :

http://www.sackan.com/sql/add.aspx
its a simple example , the idea of it is add your name and the result will save in (dash.mdf) which located in the website in app_data folder. if you press (insert) then you will face error messege (Invalid value for key 'attachdbfilename'.).

I tested it in my local machine and its work right., but when i uploaded the project to the website is not working!!!

the connection string which i used is :
    <connectionStrings>
        <add name="dashConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=208.116.16.3;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirector y|/dash.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
    </connectionStrings>
The ip address is of the website (www.sackan.com)

Every thing is clear?

What can i do to solve this problem????



Ali Naeem

Am I missing something here? If 208.116.16.3 is not the IP of your local machine, you can't use AttachDbFilename but instead you need a proper connecting string for SQL Server.

Have you tried that? Have you tried attaching your .mdf to the server as suggested? AttachDbFilename is usually only used for SQL Server Express versions.



Cheers,

Imar
