Question

I have to deploy ASP.Net application with remote database connection in IIS server.

Deployment has worked fine without database. And I was able to run that application on the IIS server.

Coming to the application with remote database I have given the connection string in C# code. And it is connected.

My web.config has thsi connection string :

<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="ApplicationServices"
        connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true"
        providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

I have replaced that with my database connection credentials as follows:

<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="ApplicationServices"
         connectionString="Data Source=RemoteHost,1433;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;user Id=MyUserId;Password=MyPassword"
         providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

In Package/Publish options I have selected (Import from web.config) and deployed that. Then I got the following error:

Web deployment task failed.(Object of type ‘dbFullSql’ and path ‘Data
“Data Source=RemoteHost,1433;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;user
Id=MyUserId;Password=MyPassword” cannot be created.)

Object of type ‘dbFullSql’ and path “Data Source=RemoteHost,1433;Initial Catalog=DBNAME;user
Id=MyUserId;Password=MyPassword” cannot be created.

The source is invalid.
Script failed for Database ‘DBNAME’.
Script failed for Database ‘DBNAME’.
Index was outside the bounds of the array.

I am new to ASP.Net. Anybody please help me.

Thank you in advance

I think you didn’t configure Web deployment package correct you can do that right Click on Project ,Select Properties and go to package/Publish SQL
