Set up my database through the wizard and copied the connection string it presented to me. But am having problems connecting to the actual DB. Error quoted below. Am I missing out on something?
Private Sub btnDB_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDB.Click
Dim strConnect As String = "Data Source=|DataDirectory|\DB\BetJack\MyDatabase#1.sdf;Password=hello12?;Persist Security Info=True"
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(strConnect)
Try
myConnection.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Connection failed")
End Try
If myConnection.State = 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Connected")
End If
End Sub
