Connecting to the database in SQL Server 2000

I am developing a system using VS 2003 with database SQL Server 2000.

In web.config, I have added the following code in it

<sessionState

mode="InProc"

stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"

sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Database=grandb;Trusted_Connection=yes"

cookieless="false"

timeout="60"

/>

Actually I don't know if the above code is correct. My database is stored in the SQL Server 2000 and named as grandb.

Thank you.

Hi,

You should modify the <sessionState> tag only when you are using OutProc mode. It seems you want to place you connection string in the web.config file, use this sample setting instead:

<

configuration>
<appSettings><addkey="connectionString"value="Data Source=127.0.0.1;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxx;database=grandb"/>

</

appSettings>

In case you are using windows based authentication in your Sql server, then use the Trusted =yes connection instead of username and password.

You can access this connection string in your source files as:

string

strConn = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];

Hope this helps,

Vivek

I add this between appSettings

<add key="DBConnr" value="Data Source=localhost;database=grandb;Trusted=yes" />

However, it still not works...

Any error for that?

What is the error message are you getting? Are you using Windows authentication in SQL Server or Mixed mode?
