The SQL Server .NET Data Provide allows you to connect to a Microsoft
SQL Server 7.0 or 2000 database. For Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 or
earlier, use the OLE DB .NET Data Provider with the "SQL Server OLE DB Provider" (SQLOLEDB).
Note: The SQL Server .NET Data Provider knows which data provider it
is. Hence the "provider=" part of the connection string is not needed.
Using C#:
using System.Data.SqlClient;
...
SqlConnection oSQLConn = new SqlConnection();
oSQLConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(local);" +
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" +
"Integrated Security=SSPI";
oSQLConn.Open();
Using VB.NET:
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
...
Dim oSQLConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection()
oSQLConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(local);" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI"
oSQLConn.Open()
If connection to a remote server (via IP address):
oSQLConn.ConnectionString = "Network Library=DBMSSOCN;" & _
"Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;" & _
"Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;" & _
"User ID=myUsername;" & _
"Pas sword=myPassword"
Where:
- "Network Library=DBMSSOCN" tells SqlConnection to use TCP/IP Q238949
- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is an IP address.
- 1433 is the default port number for SQL Server. Q269882 and Q287932
- You can also add "Encrypt=yes" for encryption
