I despeerately need to use the cute editor for net with SQL.  I tried to follow directions from another post to load and run the SQL exaample.  When I attemp to load it in VS 2010, it fails.  Do you have an example that works with associated comments so we can tell what you are during.

 

Thanks!!!

Hi Eric,

 

First thanks for your help.

 

Unfortunately, I was unsccessful at loading the images from the sql db.  I followed your steps very closely.  I  am certain I had the correct connectionstring(HOWARD-LAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS;database=test;.  No mater how I varied things I all ways received the error "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)".

 

Any other sugestions?

Please double check step 6:

 

public static string ConnectionString=@"Server=(local);database=customfileprovider6.6;uid=cute;pwd=cute;";

Hi Eric,

 

I tried various comnnectionstrings.  The string that works for other applications is as follows:

 

I have tried this string with and without the providername.

 

Thanks!!!
