how do I find the IP of the 2005 sql server instance?
-
The problem is that you're asking Sql server where Sql server is located. The name "ADMIN-PC" points to an IP-adress. Your data source would be "ADMIN-PC\SQL2005", or something similar. It may very well be that you require the IP-adress to connect from the PDA to the server. That requires you to know at least the connection-details of your server, and it will require a network-connection.

Hi Eddy, If the name of my server in sql server is:ADMIN-PC (SQL Server 9.0.1399 - sa),what sould be the datasource field???is it like that:
string sConnection = "Data Source= ADMIN-PC\\SQL Server 9.0.1399 - sa,1433;Initial Catalog=GMAO;User ID=sa;Password=sa;";
Thanks for u clarification

Hi, I have remote access to the server(I go to :right click on the server name in sql server managment->connections here I find that remote connections to the server allowed).I don't understand what u mean by query analyzer?? My string connexion should contain the SQL server 'IP @ like this:
string adr="SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name';";
string sConnection = "Data Source= adr,1433;Initial Catalog=GMAO;User ID=sa;Password=sa;";Thanks

Something along these lines;
string sConnection = "Data Source= ADMIN-PC\\SQL2005;Initial Catalog=GMAO;User ID=sa;Password=sa;";
or, for the default instance;
string sConnection = "Data Source= ADMIN-PC;Initial Catalog=GMAO;User ID=sa;Password=sa;";
..and no, it's not going to be that simple. Take a deep breath and make some coffee :) --edit; Location and instance-name of Sql Server are determined when you install it[^]. Your PDA-application needs to "know" where this server is, and it needs to be in the same network as that computer. At this moment I'm still wondering whether you have network-connectivity between those two.

Ok, I think I know what you're meaning now. Have you tried just assigning Data Source as ADMIN-PC? The brackets after are just a versioning thing within SQL. If you want the IP address, command prompt -> ping admin-pc
Hi, ping admin-pc gives this result:
C:\Users\Admin>ping admin-pc

It's right there. That thar be a IPv6 address. I don't know what your network setup is but I suspect you're not going to be able to mess with it as I am assuming company network, in any case, go talk to your infrastructure team to get the IPv4 version for that SQL server instance.

Hi Eddy, I have not a real PDA to check.I wanna use only the emulator on my application. Also I changed my code someway:
string adr="SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server Name';";
string sConnection = "Data Source=" + adr + ",1433;Initial Catalog=GMAO;User ID=sa;Password=sa;";but not knowing my SQL SERVER If I installed saye my sql server and don't get the info about the instance,noway to know it after???? I am really boulversing Thanks :doh:

Well, you can, using the very same SQL statement that you're posting.
- Open Sql Management Studio Express, and connect to the server
- Start a new query
- Execute the statement
SELECT @@SERVERNAME
That would result in a string in the format "Computername/Instancename". I'd recommend creating a small application to do a simple select against that server; It's easier to build and limits the scope of the problem to "connect to Sql Server from a PDA".

Hi Eddy, :laugh: I found the solution ther in this post: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic918470-323-1.aspx?Update=1[^] My string connection is like that now:
string sConnection = @"Data Source=Admin-PC\MSSQLSERVER,1433;Initial Catalog=GMAO;User ID=sa;Password=sa;";
(But Eddy still some problems in my TCP/IP connection :(( ) Thanks

There's some bumps on the road, but we can tackle them one atta time. I'd suggest starting with a "New Project", and to create a small prototype application that connects to the server and displays the results of the query, or the Exception if one is generated. Your connectionstring should be enough to allow you to create a
SqlConnection.I are Troll :suss:

Hi Eddy, As u told me,I open a new thread:SQL server name not found:Admin-PC\MSSQLSERVER,1433 but still not working yet :(( Thanks Eddy (after this long collaboration between as i suggest if u like we meet in msn or skype as freinds ok :laugh: my skype is :elgafsiensi and my msn is:marwenG@hotmail.fr)

Not a new thread, but a new project :) A small application to "prove" that it works and to test whether all settings are correct.

You know the drill; we'd need code and an exception-message to diagnose something.

You're welcome. I'll add you to the list, I'm online once or twice every month :)
