I just created a sql server compact 3.5 database with the visual studio 2010 assistant (localdatabase). When i click the run button (start debugging), I can see that my database disconnect in server explorer (red X). I click refresh and it looks like connected, but again, if I click start, the database connection stops (again red X).
Do I have to configure something else in my develop computer or does VS2010 automatically does it?
Hope I did explain my self. Thank in advance!
Did you look in your bin/debug folder for a copy of the database file with data in it?

In my application I have drag and drop functionality for a TreeView and for a DataGridView.
It works great and I have no issues with the code.
I use Visual Basic - Visual Studio 2017 Community on Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit. After Building Release it also works fine on Windows 10 when running release.
I then copy it to a Windows 2008 R2 Virtual server where it is run by each user through Remote Desktop.
The strange issue I have is that the TreeView drag and drop functionality works 100%, but the DataGridView seems to ignore my drop - only on the Server.
I can't find anything on the net that relate to this.
Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this issue?
======================================================================
After tediously adding messages between lines I came to the conclusion that it is the MySqlDataAdapter.Update() line that is not executing.
No exception, just stops at this line and throws me out of the DataGridView.DragDrop Sub.
So the new question is, how do I catch that error after compile?
I think I probably asked the question too quickly, apologies.
For anyone that does not get an exception from MySqlDataAdapter, check permission on triggers.
In this case on my development computer root user can access from %.
On the server root is configured for access from localhost only.
One of the triggers was defined "CREATE DEFINER=root#% TRIGGER..." and after changing it to root#localhost it worked.
I have an RDBM which needs to be converted to MySQL. I would like to open the database with Workbench and get a file to someone. However every time I run the migration wizard for a Microsoft Access RDBM, ODBC data source parameter, and then find the data source to migrate, it simply just blocks the process on the test, saying:
"Test Source DBMS Connection:
Operation Cancelled"
The RDBM is either type .mdf, .accd or 5.3 ANSI. None allow a connection. I have searched Oracle and other sources online with very few hints or clues as to why this happens to my database. The only other alternative is buy some expensive conversion software. Please help! I have not a clue what information might be of use to me to solve this problem. I have used the standard Oracle/MySQL tutorial: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-migration-database-access.html
Also to note I have tried disabling all firewalls. And the general ODBC connections I make just quit working, saying in various ways they cannot connect. Any resources to point me to that might be helpful with some more basics on this?
I also found this resource which explains why certain pipe connections are not working for ODBC: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html It lists some command prompts which I am uncertain how to use or where to enter. I tried running these as admin on a standard cmd but they just say command not recognized.
I've just encountered the same issue while testing out the MySQL workbench software.
I had installed the 64-bit version of MySQL Workbench. However, I only had 32-bit Access, and so the ODBC drivers were all 32-bit. Uninstalling and installing 32-bit version of MySQL solved this issue and let me connect to my local Access database for migration. (download 32-bit installer from here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/)
I know you found a work-around, but if you wanted to go back to Workbench, checking that you are using all 32-bit (or all 64-bit) software & drivers might help.
Cheers,
Dave.
On "System DSN" (32 bit) press Add select Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb,.accdb), press Finish, On setup page press 'select' and map to the database you want to connect to and click on the database on left pan click ok. add database name and press OK. close the window. now you can use ODBC for access in MYSQL(32 bit).
Firstly, please don't reply with the generic advice not to automate Word on a server or a link to the MS web page on "how to automate word on a server if you really must". I am aware of this.
I have a process which runs as a Windows service and uses .Net OLE interop to automate Office (mostly just Open and SaveAs). This code has worked reliably for 8 years on literally hundreds of servers using many combinations of Windows and Office versions, both 32 and 64 bit, so I am happy that the mechanism is reliable. So far...
With Server 2012 R2, it works with PowerPoint and Excel but fails trying to open a word document:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A16A0):
The file appears to be corrupted.
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Documents.Open...
My observations so far which may or may not be relevant:
fails on all documents
works fine in Windows 8.1
the same problem has happened both on a customer site and in our test environment, so is unlikely to be purely environmental
my application is using .Net 3.5
the code is linked against the 2003 Interop assemblies (obviously later office versions are supported by assembly binding redirection)
we have tried it with office 2013 both 32 and 64 bit with the same results, but not tried earlier versions of office
it fails whether the service is running as LocalSystem or as a standard user account
if we run the service process in the foreground (i.e. literally double-clicking on the executable) the problem does not happen
Obviously I still have things to investigate but interested to hear if anyone else has seen this specific problem even if you haven't solved it. Please note there are many difficulties and problems with office automation so unless your symptoms are very similar to mine, you probably don't have the same problem.
Same issues here but got this fully resolved now.
I have a Word 2013 in combination with Windows 2012 R2 Server running in a service process which does everything I want without the need of a interactive session to be started. I use this to convert documents to PDF files. Inside the Windows service I host a WCF service.
Create folders: (replace System32 with Syswow64 depending of you use x86 or x64 bit edition)
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Last and most important step!
Start - run - dcomcnfg.exe
Open properties -> Component Services - DCOM Config - Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document (Note that the version is not mentioned here but that does not matter Office 2013 will use this as DCOM config)
Open tab Identity. Configure the run as a the local Administrator account. I did some tests Word 2013 will work just fine even if no interactive session is started for the user.
We(My Company) are currently facing the same problem, it is pretty much a carbon copy of your problem. We have completed extensive testing around this area and I am now in talks with MS support engineer trying to find a work around.
Unfortunately this is something they don't want us doing, I think they have tightened security on the Windows Server 2012 to stop people from doing this.
What we have tried which should help you:
Server 2012 | Word 2007 | Failed
Server 2012 | Word 2010 | Failed
Server 2012 | Word 2013 | Failed
Client 8.1 | Word 2013 | Failed
Our problem stems from the fact we are running word with a user who isn't associated with the LOCAL system user(i.e. the type of user you have when you are logged into the machine) Windows will just not allow this to happen anymore.
Myself and the MS Engineer are working on "Fooling" windows into thinking it is running Word as a local service, however the MS Engineer said it was a long shot at best and so far everything we have tried has resulted in failure. It's not looking good.
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I suppose its good know you are not alone?
I had the same problem with MsOffice 2010 (32bits) and Windows Server 2012R2 (64bits). Word, Excel, Powerpoint don't work with localAdmin.
I created the folder C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache like Andy did and it now work perfectly !
Thanks Andy :)
My service use MS Word for data merging and concatenations functions.
I'm using Word 2016 on Windows Server 2012 R2 .
My log says that Word is opened but when the document is opened is throwed an error.
I've first created all the 4 folder suggested:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Only after creating the last directory the problem was solved.
I've not used DCOM config; my application use an user account with administration priviledges; there was no need to use LocalSystem account with "interaction with desktop" options.
Thank you.
We had a working solution for this for quite some time. However the solution broke when we tried to install it on a fully updated 2012 RTM R2 Server. On a 2016 Server we don't see this issue.
In order to make it work again on Windows 2012 R2 Server and also in a none interactive desktop environment:
Follow these steps!:
Actions to solve the issue on a Windows 2012 Sever R2 which is fully updated by Windows update:
Start - Run - mmc comexp.msc /32
Expand: Component Services – Computers – My Computer – DCOM Config
Search for: Microsoft Word 97 – 2003 Document
RMC – Properties – Go to tab: Identity
Set from “The launching user” to “This user”.
Use a “local Administrator account” which has once singed in to the server machine and has opened Word at least once in an interactive desktop.
Last step: REBOOT THE SERVER! And use a new document name to test your solution again.
Like known and said in the other answers these folder need to be created and accessible by the calling user (local system) normally or the user you configure in the prev steps.
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
C:\Windows\SysWow64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache C:\Windows\SysWow64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Thanks for all the help OP and contributors. After creating the INetCache folder it worked out for me. I have done the following to get everything working without an active session(WS2012 R2 / MS Office 2013 64x):
Create a local admin user and log in to setup any printers(printing to file) as well as default word options.
Point the DCOM config identity to the local admin user created.
Create the following file :C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache
For some machines you need to run " mmc comexp.msc /32 " to set the DCOM setting for MS Word. I found that we needed to do this when 32 bit version of Word was installed only.
I've just been going nuts to sort this and have tried numerous solutions. I finally resolved this by changing the Identity to "This User". I then used the account that my app pool ran under and also had to add this user the "Administrators" group..
Phew... hope this helps someone too.
I created a Silverlight website with a database in SQL Server Compact Edition a few months ago.
Now, I reinstalled my PC and when I open my project in Visual Studio and press F5 then everything works perfect but if I go to the .web folder and open the .html page then it doesn't show my data, it only shows my page.
Anyone got any idea why this is?
I have a web site that I developed on Vista using Vb.net9. It makes a connection to Oracle. for the connection I use System.Data.OracleClient. It works fine on my machine, and our test server, but it does not work on the production server. We installed the Oracle Client 11 on the server. The error is System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7
We've tried, making a console app that opens the connection, connection runs fine, opens, displays a message and all is well there.
Then we make a simple web form, put it in the directory of the program, just a button, opens the connection, try..catch, grabs error, same error.
The console app was running under an Administrator, web site running under iwam. Is it possible that iwam has a different path?
I've run into this error dozens of times:
Cause
Security permissions were not properly set when the Oracle client was installed on Windows with NTFS. The result of this is that content of the ORACLE_HOME directory is not visible to Authenticated Users on the machine; this causes an error while the System.Data.OracleClient is communicating with the Oracle Connectivity software from ASP.NET using Authenticated User privileges.
Solution
To fix the problem you have to give the Authenticated Users group privilege to the Oracle Home directory.
Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.
Start Windows Explorer and navigate to the ORACLE_HOME folder.
Choose properties on the ORACLE_HOME folder.
Click the Security tab of the Properties window.
Click on Authenticated Users item in the Name list.
Un-check the Read and Execute box in the Permissions list under the Allow column.
Re-check the Read and Execute box under the Allow column.
Click the Advanced button and in the Permission Entries verify that Authenticated Users are listed with permission: Read & Execute, and Apply To: This folder, subfolders and files. If not, edit that line and make sure that Apply To drop-down box is set to This folder, subfolders and files. This should already be set properly but it is important that you verify it.
Click the OK button until you close out all of the security properties windows. The cursor may present the hour glass for a few seconds as it applies the permissions you just changed to all subfolders and files.
Reboot, to assure that the changes have taken effect.
Try your application again.
The author of this post (now deleted post) suggests checking your C:\Windows\System32 folder to make sure that the oci.dll exists there. Copying in the file from the Oracle home directory solved this problem for me.
Update 1: It is possible for different users to have different path. But its not the likely problem here. There is more chance that the user that the iwam user doesn't have permission to the oracle client directory.
Update 0: Its suppose to work. Check for environment variable ( That are needed to find the oracle client and tnsnames.ora ). Also, Maybe you have a 32/64 bit issues. Also, consider using the Oracle Data Provider for .NET ( search for odp.net)
Oracle Client version 11 cannot connect to 8i databases. You will need a client in version 10 at most.
When we first moved over to Vista with Oracle 10g, we experienced this issue when we installed the Oracle client on our Vista boxes, even when we were running with admin privileges during install.
Oracle brought out a new version of the 10g client (10.2.0.3) that was Vista compatible.
I do believe that this was after 11g was released, so it is possible that there is a 'Vista compatible' version for 11g also.
Why not use this: dotConnect for Oracle (formerly known as OraDirect .NET)?
It can be configured to not require an Oracle Client at all.
We have been using this in both Windows Services and ASP.NET Web Services and it works like a charm.
For me, the issue was some plugin in my Visual Studio started forcing my application into x64 64bit mode, so the Oracle driver wasn't being found as I had Oracle 32bit installed.
So if you are having this issue, try running Visual Studio in safemode (devenv /safemode).
I could find that it was looking in SYSWOW64 for the ic.dll file by using the ProcMon app by SysInternals/Microsoft.
Update: For me it was the Telerik JustTrace product that was causing the issue, it was probably hooking in and affecting the runtime version somehow to do tracing.
Update2: It's not just JustTrace causing an issue, JustMock is causing the same processor mode issue. JustMock is easier to fix though: Click JustMock-> Disable Profiler and then my web app's oracle driver runs in the correct CPU mode. This might be fixed by Telerik in the future.
