Question

StackOverflow – I’m still trying to deploy this site, but with every problem I solve, another arises. Anyways – I’ve set up the database at my hosting to allow remote connections, and it is running Sql Server 2005. On my development machine, I am working with Sql Server 2008.

I’ve installed the asp.net schema on my hosted database, and have created several users from the ASP.NET web administration interface, as well as tested that the login works. Running the application locally with the remote connection string nets the same results. However – I’m able to run my scripts and generate my tables and stored procedures without errors – but when the site is run I get the following error on all of my .aspx pages that try to access a stored procedure:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Incorrect syntax near 'LoadProfileData'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Incorrect syntax near 'LoadProfileData'.

Source Error:

Line 62:             adapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@ProfessionalName", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = professionalName;
Line 63:             DataSet profile = new DataSet();
Line 64:             adapter.Fill(profile, "Profile");
Line 65:             return profile;
Line 66:         }

Is this a possible Sql 2005 vs 2008 issue? I’m hoping someone else has seen this issue in a similar scenario and can point me in the right direction. The server is running asp.net 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 and IIS 7.0.

Stored Procedure:

-- =============================================
-- Create date: <July 2010>
-- Description: <Create default Professional Profile>
-- =============================================
Drop procedure CreateDefaultProfile
GO
Create procedure CreateDefaultProfile(@UserName varchar(256))
as
    declare @ProfessionalID uniqueidentifier
    set @ProfessionalID = (select UserId from aspnet_Users where UserName = @UserName)


    declare @email varchar(256)
    set @email = (select Email from aspnet_Membership where UserId = @ProfessionalID)

    insert into Professional(ProfessionalID, Name, Email, Phone, TypeID, DisplayPictureUrl, ProfileHeader, ProfileSubHeader, ProfileContent, ServicesHeader, ServicesContent)
    values (@ProfessionalID, '', @email, '', '', 'css/img/profilepicture_default.jpg', '', '', '', '', '')


    GO

    -- exec CreateDefaultProfile 'Mounir'
    -- select * from Professional

Data Access Layer Method:

//"Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MHNProServices;Integrated Security=SSPI"
        const string ConnectionString =
            "Data Source=mhnproservices.db.5322869.hostedresource.com; Initial Catalog=mhnproservices; User ID=mhnproservices; Password='***********'";

        internal static void CreateDefaultProfile(string professionalName)
        {
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);
            SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter("CreateDefaultProfile @ProfessionalName", conn);
            adapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@ProfessionalName", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = professionalName;

            conn.Open();
            adapter.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
            conn.Close();
        }

Answer 1

I needed to add exec before the procedure call. Is that just a syntax difference between 2005 and 2008? Anyways, the following works:

 SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter("exec CreateDefaultProfile @ProfessionalName", conn);
