its setup gives an error that it is not a valid win32 application

I think you have downloaded the 64 bit version and you computer is 32 bit, so have to download this :SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe it is for 32 bit computer, and will work as desired.

I think this will guide you.....

good call, my 5
You can follow these steps:
1. using System.Data.SqlClient;

2.
C#
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
string str = "Data Source=ABC-PC\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=demodb;Integrated Security=True";
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(str);
        conn.Open();
string adminId = txtadminId.Text;
string password = txtpassword.Text;
        string query = "SELECT admin_id, password FROM users WHERE id=@adminId
and password=@password";
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = query;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@admin_id", adminId);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@password", password);

SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();



hope this helps:)

what is the purpose of these lines?
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = query;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@admin_id", adminId);

It is called parameterized SQL, start using it :-)
Uday P.Singh 15-Jun-11 1:21am    
Yes! suggested by Kim these statement comes into play, when we use parametrized query, and it is always better to use it, to avoid sql-injection atttacks.

Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/[^] just follow the instructions. It's not a small download - couple hundred meg IIRC - but it is worth it.

To use it, try starting with w3schools[^] and/or look at teh articles here: Beginners guide to accessing SQL Server through C#[^]
