I am having problems with this book. I keep getting the following error,

Error Message: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Stack Trace:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at Wrox.WebModules.Data.DbObject.RunProcedure(String storedProcName, IDataParameter[] parameters, Int32& rowsAffected) in C:\wrox\ThePhile\Modules\Core\DbObject.cs:line 104 at Wrox.WebModules.Polls.Data.Questions.GetCurrentID( ) in C:\wrox\ThePhile\Modules\Polls2\Polls.Data\Questio ns.cs:line 94 at Wrox.WebModules.Polls.Business.Question.GetCurrent ID() in C:\wrox\ThePhile\Modules\Polls2\Polls.Business\Que stion.cs:line 129 at Wrox.WebModules.Polls.Web.Controls.User.Poll.DataB ind() in C:\wrox\ThePhile\Modules\Polls2\Poll.ascx.cs:line 123 at Wrox.WebModules.Polls.Web.Controls.User.Poll.Page_ Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\wrox\ThePhile\Modules\Polls2\Poll.ascx.cs:line 114 at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()

I have tried playing around with the web.config and I still get the same error. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi Brett,

I think you have not changed the connection string in various config files residing the config folder as described in the readme file.

I get the following error message when in my ASPX application:

"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at "

Hi, i think you have the same problem brett is facing. You need to change the SQL server name in web.config file and also all the config files residing in the config folder.
