connection string problem

A

Anthony Smales

I'm trying to display an images directly sourced from a SQL Server dbase,
and it would probably work but I can't get the connection string right!

I have tried just LOBSTER and (local), but still no good! In the Data Source
bit, should I be using a forward-slash or is it a double forward-slash?

Computer Name is LOBSTER
DBase is called 'Sandwich Shop Development'
Table is called 'Product'
There is no password on the dbase

Here is my code:

In webform1.aspx.vb, I have this:



Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Put user code to initialize the page here

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then

BindGrid()

End If

End Sub





Public Sub BindGrid()

' Bind datagrid with dbase

Dim connstr As String = "Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial
Catalog=Sandwich Shop Development; Data Source=LOBSTER\localhost"

Dim cnn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(connstr)

Dim da As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("select * from Product", cnn)

Dim ds As New DataSet



da.Fill(ds, "Product")

DataGrid1.DataSource() = ds

DataGrid1.DataBind()



End Sub





Private Sub DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As DataGridItemEventArgs)

'ItemDataBound event

Dim img As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType
= ListItemType.Item Then

img = CType(e.Item.Cells(5).Controls(5),
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image)

img.ImageUrl() = "WebForm2.aspx?id=" & e.Item.Cells(5).Text

End If

End Sub





In webform2.aspx.vb, I have this:



Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'Webform that returns image data

'Fetch image based on the query string passed

Dim connstr As String = "Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial
Catalog=Sandwich Shop Development; Data Source=LOBSTER\localhost"

Dim cnn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(connstr)

Dim cmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand("select * from Product where
ProductId=" & Request.QueryString("id"), cnn)

cnn.Open()

Dim dr As SqlClient.SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()

dr.Read()

Dim bindata() As Byte = dr.GetValue(5)

Response.BinaryWrite(bindata)

End Sub

Hi,

Try this.

Dim connstr As String = "Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial
Catalog=Sandwich Shop Development;Data Source =(local)"
