Installation Connectionstring problem

[Paulson]

Hi guys,

I got a problem in setting up project.

I made a windows application(vb.net) and installed it in another guy's system.The desktop aplications forms and all came correctly but none of the db operations worked whenever a db related operation comes it shows the error

"Connectionstring not initialized"

Have any of you got this problem?If yes why does it come and what is the solution?Pls help me if you can

Thanks in advance bye Paulson.

you know that Connection string includes the information about Database Name,Database path...etc etc....
check whether you included the Database in your setup project or not.....or whether you installed database in the machine seperately....whichever the case check the location of the database in the target machine and make your connectionstring accordingly before making setup.....

I doubt you have made setup of your project with the connection string applicable in your machine.....
whenever you installed your application to another machine your application will find the database path which you supplied in the connection string.....

HI Dip


I don't think so.I know what you mean

You mean that the connection string must have been set as per my system's config isn't it?.

This is not the case. I have made my connectionstring in web.config file and included this file in my project.Even if I
install this in another machine it can be changed there.I access
the connectionstring using

Configurationsettings.Appsettings("connectionstrin g")

like this but still the problem exists,what I think is that once the connectionstring is changed the project fails to recognize it,dont know why.

Did u get what I mean,sorry if I'm not a good narrator.But actually I think I got some other problem also.

Anyway thanks for your attention and reply

Thanks in advance bye Paulson.

Have you installed the db on the other machine?

Have you installed the db on the other machine?

HI Keno

yes I have installed db on other machine using sql script I created along with this project setup. And it works fine only that the other machine must have sql and dotnet 1 framework installed in it.
