Dear sirs,
i made a project (VB2010 express) connecting to SQL Server 2008 express on my PC running Windows 7 (W7): it works as expected.
Now,
i need the same project run on a different PC (running Windows XP, say WXP, with VB2010 express installed) of my private LAN, but still connecting to SQL server running on Windows7-PC. So i exported the project file to WXP PC.
After enabling TCP for SQL, opening ports and bla bla bla, i can "see" SQLEXPRESS instance (running on W7) from SqlServerManagementStudio running on WXP and i can modify, select, create tables and so on.
Then i changed connection string parameters in app.config to point to the dB:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="IlMioCapolavoro22.My.MySettings.MyCompanyConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=INGSERGIO\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFile ...
Go to the complete details ...
