Hello all,
I've been blazing through John Sharp and Jon Jagger's "Microsoft
Visual C# .NET Step by Step" book, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock
once I made it to the database section. Specifically, chapter 24,
"Using a Database."
Can some kind soul help me get my machine in a state that I can
continue the exercises in this book?
On page 438, the book gives instructions on how to get the Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine running.
I downloaded and installed "sql2kdesksp3.exe". Then I rebooted, went
to the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\SDK\SDK\v1.1\Samples\Setup and entered the following command:
osql - S LYTA\VSdotNET2003 -E -iinstnwnd.sql
(LYTA is, of course, my computer's name).
I receive the following response:
[DBMSLPCM]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBMSLPCM]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
I double-click the little SQL Server Service Manager in the tool tray,
and I can't connect to "LYTA", "\\LYTA", "LYTA\VSdotNET2003" or
"\\LYTA\VSdotNET2003".
Any thoughts?
I'm using Microsoft Visual C# .net Standard.
Many thanks!
