Issue with logging into project tracker windows app...

Ok,

First off I admit I'm completely new to this and am currently working through the book.  I'm using vb 2005.  I loaded the project tracker and have an issue with my connection string i'm guessing.

Not sure if I need to add a user to the database or what... any suggestions? Whenever I try to login I get the following exception in the dbPortal.vb file

:InnerException = {"Cannot open database "SECURITY" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'LAPTOP\user'."}

Thanks for the pointers and sorry for such a basic question.

By the way, I searched for an answer first, but never found one yet.

I don't think your connection is the immediate cause of your difficulty, but I can't really tell since you didn't post a copy of it.

You didn't mention how you're trying to run the PTracker application, but I'm thinking you're running it with a Remote Data Portal (either with Remoting or with Web Services) rather than utilizing a Local Data Portal.  If that's the case, the problem sounds a lot like not having ASP.NET properly configured to work with IIS and/or SQL Server. 

While not specifically relating to CSLA, you might want to take a look at this thread posted at Wrox's p2p Forum: http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=44653 especially starting with Imar's posting almost halfway down the page.  As a side note, my first introduction to Rocky was through his book on Business Objects with VB6, which was published by Wrox.

Hope this helps,

Allen Anderson

sorry I didn't include the connection strings... here they are

<add name="PTracker" connectionString="Server=(local);Database=PTRACKER;Integrated Security=true"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

<add name="Security"connectionString="Server=(local);Database=SECURITY;Integrated Security=true"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

 

I'll definately look at the link you suggested... thanks so far... hopefully I can get things up and running today.

Thanks again!

***EDIT

Stupid mistake... sorry... when I attached the db it had the name 'SECURITY.MDF' my connection string was looking for 'SECURITY'

 

It works now... thanks again!

It's usually small things like that that trip me up, too.  I can stare at something for so long that I fail to see something as small as a missing ".mdf".  Glad to hear you have it working now!
