I have issue with my report. I install my app on two PCs. On first one I have SQL Server (MS SQL).
On first PC reports works. On second PC which is in same LAN report prompts me a window to set connection (which has empty, not editable database name box).
Report was created in Visual Studio 2017 with installed CRforVS 13.0.22
Client has installed CR runtime 13.0.22
I set connection programmatically using this code:
SqlConnectionStringBuilder csb = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectionString);
DataSourceConnections dataSourceConnections = reportDocument.DataSourceConnections;
foreach (IConnectionInfo connectInfo in dataSourceConnections)
{
if (csb.IntegratedSecurity)
{
connectInfo.SetConnection(csb.DataSource, csb.InitialCatalog, true);
}
else
{
connectInfo.SetConnection(csb.DataSource, csb.InitialCatalog, false);
connectInfo.SetConnection(csb.DataSource, csb.InitialCatalog, csb.UserID, csb.Password);
reportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon(csb.UserID, csb.Password);
}
}
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
crystalReportViewer1.Zoom(1);
I don't know what am I missing. Any help will be appreciated.
Adjust the host files of the affected computer. Include the SQL Server Name and its IP.

I am trying to connect to a production database from a C# console project in .NET6 with VS 2022 using this piece of code
using SAPbobsCOM;
void InsertarActividad()
Company oCompany = new Company();
oCompany.Server = "IP_Server";
oCompany.CompanyDB = "DEMO";
oCompany.UserName = "manager";
oCompany.Password = "XXXXXX";
oCompany.DbUserName = "sa";
oCompany.DbPassword = "XXXXXX";
oCompany.DbServerType = BoDataServerTypes.dst_MSSQL2012;
oCompany.LicenseServer = "IPServer:30000";
int rdoConexion = oCompany.Connect();
oCompany.StartTransaction();
try
{
In rdoConnection variable I get a value of -10 and according to other code examples I think the value should be 0 because when I start the transaction it tells me that I am not connected
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: ‘You are not connected to a company’
The values of oCompany are correct and in fact in an old VB.NET application that I am migrating they work and I don't know the reason why now in the same local network of the office in this project it does not connect me
Any ideas, please?
Thanks
It has been fixed by replacing the server IP with its name. I don't know why this is so but at least it connects me
Thanks
I am developing a program in VS 2012, VB.NET. I am using QBSDK v12. I am attempting to open a connection to QB Enterprise 2012, but what happens is that it opens a secondary instance of QB, and then gives me an error message that it can't open two instances at once. If I leave QB closed while trying to connect, I get a message that I need to give it permission first, which requires QB to be open when connecting. I have tried to leave off the company file name, and only connect to the currently open session, but it still opens that secondary window. I have updated QB to the latest and greatest. Nothing seems to help.
The only time I've seen this happen on my side is when I give a specific company file to open that is a different version that the QuickBooks that is currently running. For example, if the file is a QuickBooks 2012 Premier file, but you have QuickBooks 2012 Enterprise open, you'll get this problem.
Here's the code I typically use to connect when I want to open the file that is currently open in QuickBooks:
QBSessionManager SessionManager = null;
try
{
SessionManager = new QBSesionManager();
if(SessionManager == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("Could not create SessionManager");
SessionManager.OpenConnection2("AppID","CompanyName", ENConnectionType.ctLocalQBD);
SessionManager.BeginSession("", ENOpenMode.omDontCare);
// DO MY QB STUFF
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error: " + ex.Message);
}
finally
{
if(SessionManager != null)
{
SessionManager.EndSession();
SessionManager.CloseConnection();
SessionManager = null;
}
}
This is my first post to this precious website. I am a new learner of vb.net. I am working on a simple purchase project, where i got some errors. But the first thing is which baffled me is:
This is my connection string at module level, on the developed machine.
Public strCn As String = "Data Source = (local); Initial Catalog = PSys; Integrated Security = false; User ID = sa; Password = 123;"
Is it mandatory that Data Source must be the original name of the System Name. I mean If i use (local) or using ( . ), so will it work or not? Because when i copy my project to any other system for further development so every time i need to change the Data source, otherwise i get the error that: "Network-related or instance-specific error occurred......."
Kindly guide me that what i need to do.
When you are developing an application which uses a database server such as MsSQL it is not wise to install the server along with your application in every pc which is installed to. For example what are you going to do if a customer has a local network with 10 computers? Are you going to install SQL server in all 10 of them? And if so what if they need to share data?
So your best approach (based on common practice by other applications) will be to allow the user to install the SQL server where he wants and let him configure your application and point it to the server's location. If you follow that path then the configuration of your application can be in the setup application or in the application itself.
Now about the development phase, I had a similar situation in which I needed to develop the same application in two different computers. What I did was to install the SQL server in both of them with a named instance "sqlexpress" then in the application I used the
Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionStringBuilder
class to build the connection string. I did something like this:
Public Function getDevConnectionString() As String
Dim csb As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionStringBuilder(My.Settings.dbConnectionString) '<-My original cs in app settings
csb.DataSource = My.Computer.Name & "\sqlexpress"
Return csb.ConnectionString
End Function
Whenever I need a connection string I simply call getDevConnectionString() which returns the connection string based on the computer name plus the sql server instance name. For example:
Dim cs As String
#If DEBUG Then
cs = getDevConnectionString()
#Else
cs = getReleaseConnectionString()
#End If
where getReleaseConnectionString() is the function that returns your connection string configured by the customer.
Hope this point you the right direction...
I've recently used our company's spare laptop (that has a general user set up) while mine was being repaired. I've checked the "Remember password" option in SQL Server Management Studio when logging in to the database.
I need to clear the login and password information that I have used to prevent the next person that will use the laptop from using my login names and passwords. How can I do this?
Another answer here also mentions since 2012 you can remove Remove cached login via How to remove cached server names from the Connect to Server dialog?. Just confirmed this delete in MRU list works fine in 2016 and 2017.
SQL Server Management Studio 2017 delete the file
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\14.0\SqlStudio.bin
SQL Server Management Studio 2016 delete the file
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\13.0\SqlStudio.bin
SQL Server Management Studio 2014 delete the file
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\12.0\SqlStudio.bin
SQL Server Management Studio 2012 delete the file
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\11.0\SqlStudio.bin
SQL Server Management Studio 2008 delete the file C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell\SqlStudio.bin
SQL Server Management Studio 2005 delete the file – same as above answer but the Vista path.
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell\mru.dat
These are profile paths for Vista / 7 / 8.
EDIT:
Note, AppData is a hidden folder. You need to show hidden folders in explorer.
EDIT:
You can simply press delete from the Server / User name drop down (confirmed to be working for SSMS v18.0). Original source from https://blog.sqlauthority.com/2013/04/17/sql-server-remove-cached-login-from-ssms-connect-dialog-sql-in-sixty-seconds-049/ which mentioned that this feature is available since 2012!
This works for SQL Server Management Studio v18.0
The file "SqlStudio.bin" doesn't seem to exist any longer. Instead my settings are all stored in this file:
C:\Users\*********\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0\UserSettings.xml
Open it in any Texteditor like Notepad++
ctrl+f for the username to be removed
then delete the entire <Element>.......</Element> block
that surrounds it.
EDIT:
An even easier and working solution for v18.0 (Preview 7) would be:
Go to the "Connect to Server" dialogue window:
Click the down-arrow icon marked green in the screenshot.
Use the arrow-keys on the keyboard to navigate up/down
Press the DEL key on keyboard to delete the entry.
Close the dialogue window and when you reopen it the entry will indeed be removed.
For those looking for the SSMS 2012 solution... see this answer:
Remove cached login 2012
Essentially, in 2012 you can delete the server from the server list dropdown which clears all cached logins for that server.
Works also in v17 (build 14.x).
In my scenario I only wanted to remove a specific username/password from the list which had many other saved connections I didn't want to forget. It turns out the SqlStudio.bin file others are discussing here is a .NET binary serialization of the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UserSettings.SqlStudio class, which can be deserialized, modified and reserialized to modify specific settings.
To accomplish removal of the specific login, I created a new C# .Net 4.6.1 console application and added a reference to the namespace which is located in the following dll: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UserSettings.dll (your path may differ slightly depending on SSMS version)
From there I could easily create and modify the settings as desired:
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UserSettings;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var settingsFile = new FileInfo(#"C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\13.0\SqlStudio.bin");
// Backup our original file just in case...
File.Copy(settingsFile.FullName, settingsFile.FullName + ".backup");
BinaryFormatter fmt = new BinaryFormatter();
SqlStudio settings = null;
using(var fs = settingsFile.Open(FileMode.Open))
{
settings = (SqlStudio)fmt.Deserialize(fs);
}
// The structure of server types / servers / connections requires us to loop
// through multiple nested collections to find the connection to be removed.
// We start here with the server types
var serverTypes = settings.SSMS.ConnectionOptions.ServerTypes;
foreach (var serverType in serverTypes)
{
foreach (var server in serverType.Value.Servers)
{
// Will store the connection for the provided server which should be removed
ServerConnectionSettings removeConn = null;
foreach (var conn in server.Connections)
{
if (conn.UserName == "adminUserThatShouldBeRemoved")
{
removeConn = conn;
break;
}
}
if (removeConn != null)
{
server.Connections.RemoveItem(removeConn);
}
}
}
using (var fs = settingsFile.Open(FileMode.Create))
{
fmt.Serialize(fs, settings);
}
}
}
There is a really simple way to do this using a more recent version of SQL Server Management Studio (I'm using 18.4)
Open the "Connect to Server" dialog
Click the "Server Name" dropdown so it opens
Press the down arrow on your keyboard to highlight a server name
Press delete on your keyboard
Login gone! No messing around with dlls or bin files.
Delete entire node "Element" (inside "Connections" tree) from XML file, used by version 18 or higher.
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0\UserSettings.xml
As gluecks pointed out, no more SqlStudio.bin in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18. I also found this UserSettings.xml in C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0. But removing the <Element> containing the credential seems not working, it comes right back on the xml file, if I close and re-open it again.
Turns out, you need to close the SQL Server Management Studio first, then edit the UserSettings.xml file in your favorite editor, e.g. Visual Studio Code. I guess it's cached somewhere in SSMS besides this xml file?! And it's not on Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager\Windows Credentials.
For SQL Server Management Studio 2008
You need to go C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell
Delete SqlStudio.bin
Delete:
C:\Documents and Settings\%Your Username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Shell\mru.dat"
In XP, the .mru.dat file is in C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\ShellSEM
However, removing it won't do anything.
To remove the list in XP, cut the sqlstudio bin file from C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Shell and paste it on your desktop.
Try SQL
If it has worked, then delete the sqlstudio bin file from desktop.
Easy :)
Select the Login drop down arrow. Delete the users from the list
I would like to extract the SQL queries from Crystal Report .rpt files, is there a way to do this?
I don't have any of the Crystal Reports products, just the .rpt files.
Here's a .Net example of code that grabs the Command Sql from all Crystal Reports in a given directory. It requires the Crystal 2008 .Net SDK to be installed (you can download a trial from SAP):
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles("c:\\projects\\Reports", "*.rpt"))
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Processing {0}...", file));
var doc = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
doc.Load(file);
foreach (dynamic table in doc.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
{
if (table.ClassName == "CrystalReports.CommandTable")
{
string commandSql = table.CommandText;
//TODO: do something with commandSql
}
}
}
To get the SQL as Crystal would build it when running a report, see this link: SAP Note 1280515 - How to extract SQL query from Crystal reports using RAS sdk.
I believe to do this, you need to supply the report parameter values so that Crystal can connect to the database in order to build the SQL. In the example, since a Report Viewer control is used, Crystal can prompt the user for the parameters.
In "Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library" (craxddrt.dll), the Report.SQLQueryString property will do what you want.
I can't seem to find an equivalent property in the .Net SDK, and believe me, I've been looking.
** edit **
It appears that one can make use of the In-Process RAS Server to get this information:
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CommandTableClass.CommandText
The other way around this is if you can run the reports, you can hook up SQL Profiler to your DB and capture the incoming SQL on the database side.
JoshL's answer worked for several of my reports, but not all of them. The following method, using ReportClientDocument.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement, was able to extract some of the queries that the other method missed.
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles("c:\\projects\\Reports", "*.rpt"))
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Processing {0}...", file));
var doc = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
doc.Load(file);
var controller = doc.ReportClientDocument.RowsetController;
var groupPath = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.GroupPath();
string temp = String.Empty;
string commandSql = controller.GetSQLStatement(groupPath, out temp);
//TODO: do something with commandSql
}
My experience is with older versions of Crystal (8,9) - I've no idea what the file formats look like for more recent versions. However, it's worth opening the files up in a text editor just in case, but for the file formats I've seen, the query text is not accessible this way.
If I remember correctly, some versions of Visual Studio 2003 came with tools for manipulating Crystal .rpt files (but I guess this isn't of much use to you, since if you had this already, you wouldn't be asking!).
It's not a very imaginative suggestion, but perhaps your quickest route would be to download the 30-day trial version of the current Crystal Reports, and see if that will open the files for you.
In the Visual studio, select the .rpt file and Go to field explorer, right click on DatabaseFields. Click on SQL query option to view the query.
