Datasource on a webserver not .\SQLEXPRESS

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Using conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=..\App_Data\Astronomy.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True")

This works in VB.net with a "C:\path" in place of "..".

Not sure how to access SQL functioning on my webserver.

This is how to do it from VB.net in SQL Express ".\SQLEXPRESS"

How is it done from the web server?

www.connectionstrings.com should answer whatever it is that you are really asking. Not sure what you mean by "How is it done from the web server"

instead of

AttachDbFilename=..\App_Data\Astronomy.mdf;

try with

AttachDbFilename=App_Data\Astronomy.mdf;
