Connecting SQL Express Entity Framework

Question

So I am trying to setup an Entity framework app, however I am having some difficulty. The connection information in the App.config looks like.

XML

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="CVEContext" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=cvedb; user=cvepoc; Password='#'; Integrated Security=SSPI"/>
  </connectionStrings>

My DbContext class looks like.

C#

public class CVEContext : DbContext
   {
       public DbSet<CveEntity> CveEntities { get; set; }



       public CVEContext()
           : base("name=CVEContext")
           {
               Database.SetInitializer<CVEContext>(new CreateDatabaseIfNotExists<CVEContext>());
           }


   }

The interesting thing, here is the connection information should not work. The password is wrong, however, I consistently get an error message stating that "Create Database password denied in master"

Suggestions?

Are you trying to connect to the SQL Server database on Windows CE? I'd suggest to remove this part: Integrated Security=SSPI
See: http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server/

Either way it doesn't seem to matter.

So, what's matter?

That setting tells the connection to ignore the username and password specified, and connect using Windows authentication. It doesn't matter that the password is wrong, because it's never used.

The error message is telling you that the database cvedb doesn't exist, and your Windows account doesn't have permission to create it. Try running the application elevated, which should give you the necessary permissions.
