  • 0

I’m running the nerddinner MVC application on visual studio, and the database is on sql server 2008. I was previously having problems with permissions, etc but I seemed to have these sorted.

I created a user – taraw in SQL Server Management Studio, and got this all working. I can log into it fine.

When I test the application, I can see all the database entries, it is only however when I want to register a new user that the application crashes with this error:
closed.

Failed to generate a user instance of
SQL Server. Only an integrated
connection can generate a user
instance. The connection will be
closed.

I am using the aspnet membership api to register and maintain user accounts. I used the aspnet_regsql.exe tool to add the api tables to my existing database.

This is the connection string I have in the web.config file:

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=nerddinner;user id=taraw;password=Password;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <add name="nerddinnerEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.NerdDinner.csdl|res://*/Models.NerdDinner.ssdl|res://*/Models.NerdDinner.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=nerddinner;user id=taraw;password=Password;MultipleActiveResultSets=True&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

I would imagine the problem is with the Application Services connection string as I can see all the other information from the database fine.

Here is the stack trace,

EDIT:

I have also tried the following commands:

1>EXEC sp_grantlogin 'TaraW-PC\TaraW'  
 2>GO

 1>USE nerddinner
 2>GO

 1>EXEC sp_grantdbaccess 'TaraW-PC\TaraW'  
 2>GO

 1>EXIT

however I get the following error for that:

Msg 15063, Level 16, State 1, Server
TARAW-PC, Line 1 The login already has
an account under a different user nameclosed.

    Removed “User Instance = true” from Application Services connection string. Did the trick for me.
