Big problem connecting SQLEXPRESS within a vb net application

Hello.
I've an application that has to do a bunch of "SELECT" and INSERT into a
couple of tables. On my machine everything works fine, but if I try to
deploy the app on a VM for a test i have many probs.
The most common is "(Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL
Server)", but using (local)\SQLEXPRESS i've "Request for the permission of
type
'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e89'" too...I think it's a
connectionstring problem. I used "Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Initial
Catalog=Clienti;Integrated
Security=True", where "Clienti" is the DB, but i tried the string I found on
http://www.connectionstrings.com/?carrier=sqlserver2005 too.
It's being absurd...please give me an help...thanks...Ah, did you enable TCP/IP on the target server? Why are you using named
pipes? If you do, you must enable additional ports in the firewall (if there
is one).

I both did everything...enabled TCP/IP and Remote Connection, opened port
1431 default port...|||I suggest you walk through the list of issues posted in my blog--there is a
whitepaper there that discusses these
issues.http://betav.com/blog/billva/2006/0...com/blog/billva

BI Portal 2003 connecting to SSAS 2005

Hi,

I seem to have a problem connecting to the analysis server 2005 when I create a data source in BIP 2003. When I supply the servername, it says that "the server does not exist or access denied". However, when I try to use the Advanced option and create a connection string, I encounter an error message stating the ff:

Line: 465
Char: 4
Error: the object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 0
URL: http://localhost:8080/_layouts/1033/Menu.htc

How can I make a data source connection? Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
May Lanie

If you would like to connect to Analysis Services using HTTP, you need to make sure you setup HTTP connectivity to Analysis Server. Here is whitepaper on how to do that: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/httpssas.mspx

If you would like to connect to AS using TCP/IP, here is set of instructions on how to troubleshoot connectivity problems http://www.sqljunkies.com/WebLog/edwardm/archive/2006/05/26/21447.aspx

Hope that helps.

Edward.
