Question

I did spend an hour searching before I posted about this problem.

The table does exist and I can query that table and I can see the resultset but when i try to execute from Visual Studio 2008 I get the below error:

Cannot find the object "Products" because it does not exist or you do not have permissions

Why does this error occur and what should I do to resolve it?

using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = connection.CreateCommand() as System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand)
{
   cmd.CommandText = "SET IDENTITY_INSERT Products ON";
   cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
   cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

I tried specifying dbo.Products and before executing I also tried use dbname but that did not help.

Answer 1

after spent few hours and lost few hairs i found that the problem was in the connection strings (but this is still did not convence me) and as i said in question i was not having any issues but suddenly its pop-up and i havent change anything (who knows what dba have changed)

so I try tweak my connection string instead, and it does make a string
to see if it makes a difference: and it does.

c.Provider = 'sqloledb'
dsn = 'Server=MyServer;Database=MyDB;Trusted_Connection= Yes'
c.Open(dsn)

the only thing i have added to my connection string is Trusted_Connection= Yes

PS: SET IDENTITY_INSERT remains on for your session until
you turn it off, and it can only be on for one table at a time

Hope this will help others…
