Question

I use a mssql 2008 server (at my webhotel) and I am trying to save data in it from my code.

I have made this little test code here that gives me this error in topic

 Context = new XXX_dk_dbEntities();
 var vehicle = new Vehicle { Name = "test" };
 Context.AddObject("Units", vehicle);
 Context.SaveChanges();

EDIT: Changing Context.AddObject(vehicle.GetType().Name, vehicle); to Context.AddObject(“Something”, vehicle); gives the same error, so I think it might be my connectionstring or my EF that needs proper setup, anyway I can test that?

Edit 2: Changed it to Units now which makes my error {“The underlying provider failed on Open.”} and inspecting that gives me this error {“Login failed for user ‘xxxxx_dk’.”} so it must be my connectionstring

<add name="xxxxx_dk_dbEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Areas.Units.UnitsModel.csdl|res://*/Areas.Units.UnitsModel.ssdl|res://*/Areas.Units.UnitsModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=mssql1.unoeuro.com;initial catalog=xxxxxxx_dk_db;persist security info=True;user id=xxxxxxxx_dk;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

This is the solutionexplore showing my edmx structure

After I found I had to add the remove (For some reason it uses a connectionstring specified in machine.config) and changed the name of my own provider to “AspNetSqlMembershipProvider” I created a new connectionstring for this to use so remove old connectionstring (Wierd!), create a custom memberprovider like

<membership>
  <providers>
      <add connectionStringName="unoeurotest" enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
      enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
      requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6"
      minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10"
      applicationName="/" name="DefaultMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Providers.DefaultMembershipProvider, System.Web.Providers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
  </providers>
</membership>

And then make a connectionstring only for this

<add name="unoeurotest" connectionString="Data Source=mssql1.unoeuro.com;Initial Catalog=xxxxxx_dk_db;User Id=xxxxx_dk;Password=xxxxxx;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;"/>
