I have that problem with example Data grid sorting on page 707. Basic always gives me error in line, where it is

»objDataAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, »Authors«)«
I have the same software as authors of this book: Windows server 2000 SP3, SQL 2000, and Visual studio .NET enterprise edition. I am surprised on this error because all other previous examples in chapters 16,17 work OK.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
        objConnection = New SqlConnection("server=localhost;database=pubs;inte grated security=sspi")
        If Not (IsPostBack) Then
            BindGrid("Last name")
        End If
    End Sub

Hi there,

Take a look here for updated connection strings: http://www.able-consulting.com/dotne...anagedProvider

Basically, you should use Data Source and Initial Catalog to indicate the Server and the Database.

That did not help. I gess I will have to step over of the rest of this chapter. Maybe one of my services is not working properly.

You have to make sure that the ASPNET account has sufficient rights to the database Pubs.

By default, your ASPX pages will run under the context of the ASPNET account. (For "classic ASP", this was the IUSR_MachineName account).
To add this account, add it to you Login list under Security in SQL Server first, then grant it access to the Pubs database.

Cheers,

Imar

Amazing! Who would thought such a thing!!!

Adding this ASPNET account to the to my Login list under Security in SQL Server Enterprise Manager solved my problem.
I still use the same connection string:
"server=localhost;database=pubs;integrated security=sspi"
and I am still logged as:
administrator under windows server 2000.

Thanks a lot. As a beginner I would newer got to this idea. Matej:)

I know this is quite a bit later than when you posted. I'm just beginning and I only have the Desktop Engine and I've been searching for a way to do what you are talking about. I keep getting a login failed message also. I don't know of any way to grant any permissions. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. I'm using xp pro, vb.net, and sql server 2000 desktop engine.

Hi Imar,

I have the same problem but i use oracle 9i database, where do i add the ASPNET login in oracle database.
