Hi Everyone,

I have recently learnt how to get my SQL database uploaded onto my internet server host with a great tutorial in FAQ

I am FTPing my Visual Web Developer Website up onto my internet host server and I want the website to be connected to the database so that I can use GridView and DataView etc.

I would now like to make my CONNECTION srting in my web.config file

by default the connection Visual Web Developer makes is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since your database is not an independant MDF now, but is permanently part of the server, you have to take a different approach at the connection string. Nothing else in your code will have to change though. Here is a sample example:

Perfect!

thank you.

in my case I have written my host name rather than the IP address... so I have written     mydomainname.com   instead of 123.123.123.123.1234

I now have a fully functional database and connection.

Congrats :)
