Unable to connect to remote production database from ASP.NET

[sathyaprakashg]

Hi All,

I am trying to connect to an SQL SERVER in a remote production server from ASP.net using following code.

Dim conProd As New OleDbConnection ("Provider=SQLO LEDB.1;Data Source=ServerNa me;UID=User Name;PWD=Passwo rd;Initial Catalog=Databas e")
conProd.Open()

I am getting following error while running this script

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

But I am able to connect to this server using following three other ways:

1) Using query analyzer

2) I created DSN and performed test connection, it succeded.

3) In ASP.NET -> Server Explorer -> Data Connections, I added this connection and test connection also successful.

I tried to connect to this server in VB 6.0 using following code

Dim conProd As New ADODB.Connectio n

conProd.Open "Provider=SQLOL EDB;Data Source=ServerNa me;Initial Catalog=Databas e; Timeout=500;", "UserName", "Password"

I am able to connect using this above code in VB 6.0 also.

But I dont what is happeing in .NET. Please help me.

I am using XP and VS .NET 2003

I guess, in dot net it does not required to mention Provider. So remove provider and try again
