Using data from SQL in C#

[kanepart2]

I am making a simple program to use display SQL data using C#

SqlConnection myConnection = new
SqlConnection(@"Trusted_Connection=yes;database=** ***database
name*****;connection timeout=30");

try
{
myConnection.Open();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
above is the code snippet where I run into problems..
myConnection.Open times out and the exception gets thrown. I have no
clue why!

the following is the content of the exception

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while
establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL
Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the

My deduction is that the connection to the server is not successful

any ideas would be appreciated.

You are right, you can't connect.

If you use SQL2005, check Surface Area manager how your connections are set
up.

For older versions, Client Configuration tool should help

If you are using SQL Server 2005. Open up the the Surface Area Configuration
tool then do the following
1. Click the "Surface Are Configuration for Services and Connections" link
button.
2. Select the DB Server instance you are trying to connect to then go to the
remote connections settings.
[db instance]/database engine/remote connections
3. Select the "local and remote connections" radio button
4. Chose whether to connect using TCP/IP or named pipes.
5. Your done..

If that doesn't work check that your connection string is right.. you can
get sample connection strings for variouse DBMS's at
http://connectionstrings.com/

any ideas would be appreciated.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

Is it because of Trusted_Connection property?

[Eric Renken]

It looks to me that you are just missing the server name. I would try
adding "Server=****server name***"
