now i am trying to connect my project to SQL Server..
but i wasnt able to...
i keep getting errors
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Open() at icms.DB.q(String mySTR) in C:\icms\DB.vb:line 30
below is my webconfig
i am not very sure about the value for the user.. because if it is MySQL i can get it from my control centre.. but what about SQL server ? where should i get my value ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="db" value="icms" />
<add key="db_user" value="sqladmin" />
<add key="db_server" value="server" />
<add key="db_pwd" value="*****" />
<add key="session_timeout" value="600" />
</appSettings
<system.web
<compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />
<trace enabled="true"/>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" /
</system.web
</configuration
======================
Dim myCMD As New SqlCommand
Public Sub New()
Dim db_server = AppSettings("db_server")
Dim db = AppSettings("db")
Dim db_user = AppSettings("db_user")
Dim db_pwd = AppSettings("db_pwd")
Dim DBConnection As String = "DRIVER={SQL Server};" & _ '<==== is my driver correct?
"SERVER=" & db_server & ";" & _
"DATABASE=" & db & ";" & _
"UID=" & db_user & ";" & _
"PASSWORD=" & db_pwd & ";" & _
"OPTION=3;"
myDB.ConnectionString = DBConnection
myCMD.Connection = myDB
End Sub

End SubThe connection string is wrong.
Look here:
http://www.connectionstrings.com/|||Dim DBConnection As String = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=server;Database=icms;Uid=sqladmin;Pwd=*****;"
this is what i put in but still error =(
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified at System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection.Open() at icms.DB.q(String mySTR) in C:\icms\DB.vb:line 30|||Is this your actual string, well apart from the password?|||Show the declarations for all objects. Your error message shows ODBC error messages, other code shows a SqlDataReader.
EXACTLY what is the Connection object declared as?
