[Mono-list] Mono WinForms Problems Connecting to Sql 2005

[Daniel Morgan]

How does you connection string look like?

You can rename your actual user id and password to
xxxx.

Are you using an instance name in your connection
string?  You mentioned you are connecting via SQL
Server Authentication.  

Have you increased the CONNECTION TIMEOUT?  The
default is 15 seconds.

To know for sure you're connecting via .net the same
way you are in mono, add this to your connection
string for running on .net:

;network library=dbmssocn

Then if you get the same thing on .net as you do with
mono, then you know its something with connecting via
TCP/IP.  And if you were using a named instance, then
you may need to open up access to UDP port 1434.

Here is an entry from my blog about this.

Here is the msdn doc on SqlConnection.ConnectionString
