Connect to SQL Server from win form over LAN

how my connection string should be if i want to access remote(within out local network) sql sever from a win form?

Hey,

Have a look at the connectionstrings link in my signature, you should be able to find the answer there.

Hope that helps!!

i am able to connect this database from aspx web page.

i have connection string saved in the web config file.

Hey,

Were you asking a question there?

Gary

sorry, i like to know is this ok,

strConnection = ("Driver={SQL Server};Server=xxx.xxx.x.xx;"
"Trusted_Connection=no;"
"Database=MyDatabaseName;Uid=MyUserName;Pwd=MyPassword;");

Hey,

So which part of that is not discussed here:

i used this one:

Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;

but still i am getting remote connection not allowed error.

from surface area configuration i have enabled remote connection(TCP/IP and named pipes)

added sqlserver.exe to windows firewall.

why am i still unable to connect to db?

Hey,

Have you also checked this section of the connectionstrings website?

Also, are you getting an error returned? If so, what is it?

Gary
