im trying to access a godaddy sql database using the dql server provided with the hosting package. im having trouble adding the correct code to make the connection to the database in the web.config file.
please explain the correct sntax needed for the connection string
below is the connection string i have and how i have it configured using the details in the godaddy "SQL Server Database Information" window
<connectionStrings>
<add name="SaveNewService" connectionString=" Data Source=Host Name; Initial Catalog=Database Name; User ID=User Name; Password=password" />
</connectionStrings>
and here is my class that uses the string
using
System.Data.SqlClient;
namespace
MyButler.Secure
{
public partial class RequestService : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public static SqlConnection SavenewService
{
get
{
// This property returns a new SQLConnection object when needed
return new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ButlerData.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
}
}
public static void SaveNewService(string username, string Subject, string Details, double Price)
{
// Add your data access code here
string Sql;
Sql =
"INSERT INTO ServiceRequest (UserName, Subject, Details, Price) VALUES (@UserName, @subject, @Details, @Price)";
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(Sql, SavenewService);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(
"@UserName", username);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(
"@Subject", Subject);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(
"@Details", Details);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue(
"@Price", Price);
command.Connection.Open();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
command.Connection.Close();
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RequestService.SaveNewService(Page.User.Identity.Name, SubjectTextBox.Text, DetailsTextBox.Text, double.Parse(PriceTextBox.Text));

hello,
You can contact your hosting provider and ask them about the correct connection string. :)

1)You can open Vs and "View"=>"Server Explorer" and then create a connection to the specific database,and then copy the Connection String from the right-down property panel。
