    Since the application pool user is not on the same domain, windows authentication won't work. How will SQL server know about your app pool user? It does not exist in Active Directory. You need to enable SQL authentication or make your machine join the domain which has the SQL server.

      Salam Eid Mabrook, But the same thing is working in Enterprise Library, why only the Entity Framework giving the problems. But I don't have control on the SQL Server completely. Just in case I am asking for the debugging reason, what could be the reason if we SQL Server and my machine is on the same domain. Because when I am logging in to the SQL Server I am logging without using any domain. May be its on the same domain. But Enterprise library is able to connect it without using any domain name. If I am in the same domain what could cause the entity framework to get the database name in the context objects connection. Thanks in advance.

        Alikom AlSalam, Eid Mubarak :) Can you post the connection strings used in both cases? Does the DB admin allow public users on the database?

            Can you try to change the EF connection to:

            The difference between the connection strings is that the ENTLib connection connects to a named instance (LNIDDBTUMSQL24\STAYATWORK) while the EF connection connects to the default instance on LNIDDBTUMSQL24.

              Hi, I did it, I just copied database on my local machine and tried to connect using the following connection strings. In the place of Datasource value it is coming correct, but in the place of Database its always coming as empty String. Did I do any mistake during the entity frameworks mapping to the database because when I debugged following values are coming while connecting to my local database server also context.Connection.Datasource="(local)\STAYATWORK" or ".\STAYATWORK", context.Connection.Database="". Something should be wrong. Do I need to change anything in this

              should put the server name or something here. Following are the connection strings that I have used.

                Try to add

                Initial Catalog=STAYATWORK;

                to the connection string.

                  Hi, Yes I added but its doing the same thing, its showing the database name as empty string, is entity framework having any problem connecting the database using Windows authentication. Thats what I am seeing when googling. Should I switch to SQL Server authentication? For that I need to talk to DBA. Please help me.

                    Hi, I found whats the problem is, if you can help me in solving it, it would be really great. When I am degging when Entity Framework class "StayAtWorkEntities" is trying to get the data from the SQL Server. There it is throwing exception, because application is trying to access the databse using "\" account instead of "\" account. But this "\" account, doesnt have access to the Database. Instead I have access to the database. Now is there any way to force IIS to run these two applications Web Application and a WCF Service under my user account "\". I am also admin on the Server is there any way to force IIS to do that, I have tried by changing the Application Pool Identity to "LocalSystem", "Network Service" in both the cases its running under the same user account "\" which doesnt have access rights to access the database.
