Hi Imar,

Thanks for helping out in understanding more about ASP.NET through your book.

I seems to have a lot of problems in connecting the database.

At the moment, I am starting chapter 14 and trying to create the ADO.NET model, but got stuck with the following error:

"An error occur while connecting to the database. The database might be unavailable. Operating system error 5 (5 access is denied)

A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share"

I have checked the windows administration authorization and I do have full control for the database. Would you please help me understand what happen and how to fix this please?

Thanks

HI there,

Is any of the three options in the error message correct? Check that the account you use has read/write permissions to the App_Data folder. Also, make sure you haven't also attached the database in SQL Server. You can SQL Server Management Studio to see if you have any databases attached.

Cheers,

Imar
