local database in c#

Hi,

I want to create a database in a path specified by the user at runtime when he selects a menu item like File/New. My preference is to not require the user to run an sql server on his machine to run my application. All my searches on the web for this keep directing me to the code that creates a database on an sql server but I don't want that. I want the application to create the database at runtime at a place where the user chooses. I would appreciate either a snippet of code or a link to somewhere helpful please.

Hi,

MS Access is the solution for u. It does not require any extra files to work. It just need MDAC to be installed and it's shipped with Windows.

All u have to do is to create ure database with all tables, views,... with no data. Ship the empty database with ure application and when the user wants to create a new database u just copy the empty database to the user location.

HTH.

|||Thanks Hayder.

If there is a way to do this with a local sql database, I would appreciate some sample code to see how to do it.

Hi,

You may create a T-SQL script and then run the script to create a database.

Move from C# express forum to Sql server forum.

Thanks

Not within your specified 'requirements'

My preference is to not require the user to run an sql server on his machine to run my application.

A 'Local' sql database will require that the user run or have access to a SQL Server.

As Hayder mentioned, an Access database is an excellent option and does not require that the user have access to, or install a SQL Server.

LoadSnapshot: Item with session: ...

I have a application that uses the Report Viewer control. I ran across a
strange error executing a report.
What does this error message mean and how do you fix it?

I would like to know this issue more detailed.
1. Did you use the ReportingViewer to connect to the Server report?
2. Have you applied the latest services pack 2 on the report server?
3. If you restart the IIS in the report server, did this issue still
occured?
4. What's the Application pool identity you use of the Application pool for
Reporting Services? If you change it to the Domain admin, did this issue
still occur?
Please let me know the result and so that I can provide further assistance.
Sincerely,
Wei Lu

1. Yes I did use the ReportViewer to connect to the Server report.
2. No, SP2 has not been applied. We are scheduling this for the weekend.
3. This only happened once so far. But there is not normal production use
yet.
4. We will change pool identity Domain admin this weekend.
So for now, we will make the changes and wait to see if it occurs again.
Thanks for the help.

I am seeing this same behavior in a completely different environment.
1) application that uses the Report Viewer connect to the Server report.
2) SP2 is applied
3) I restarted IIS on the RS server, but it did not correct the issue. I
also restarted the RS server, but the issue continues.
4) I don't currently have the capability to adjust the Application pool
identity, but am trying to get that changed now.
Do you have any further information on what might be causing this error?
thanks.

>|||Hi Wei Lu --
I too am experiencing the Execution 'xxx' cannot be found error. I am
using ReportViewer, with SP2 is installed. This is a local RS install
using the Network account on XP SP2.
The problem is very intermittent -- occurred 3 times today. Twice when
setting report parameters and clicking 'View Report', another when
clicking the double-arrows to show/hide the parameter area. There was
no length of inactivity (some users reported problems after 10 minutes
of inactivity -- I think this is a different issue).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
