I have problem when i try to connect to localdb from visual studio 15. I have installed SQL Server Express 2016
I folowing this tutorial: http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/introduction/creating-a-connection-string
I create model and context(MovieDBContext) class and try to setup connection:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-MvcMovie-20130603030321.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-MvcMovie-20130603030321;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="MovieDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
/>
When i try to access to page where i show all movies :
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(db.Movies.ToList());
}
I try to edit connection strings like this and also not working:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-MvcMovie-20130603030321.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-MvcMovie-20130603030321;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="MovieDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
/> </connectionStrings>
I get this excpetion when i use (local)MSSQLLocalDB
What i do wrong ?
The initial Catalog is missing in MovieDBContext
connection string.
It needs to be as follows:
<add name="MovieDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;Initial Catalog=Movies;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
