executing sp_databases from c#

hi all,

[EDIT] I am using sql server 2005

i am having trouble executing the sp_databases stored procedure from my app... i am creating an sqlcommand and assigning the relevant value to their properties...

one thing i have noticed is that if i use integrated security=true in the connectionstring it works no problem, however if i add a user to the master database with a password and try using the username and password from my application, it doesnt work!! can anyone explain why i cant execute sp_databases with sql authentication?

here is my code so far

Code:

---

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
 
cmd.CommandText = "sp_databases";
 
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
 
cmd.Connection = cf.masterCnn();
 
ds = cf.getDbs(cmd);
 
foreach (DataRow r in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
 
{
 
        cboDatabase.Items.Add(r[0].ToString());
 
}
 


---

here is the connection creation:

Code:

---

public SqlConnection masterCnn() //this is responsible for instanciating the connection
 
{
 
master = masterString();
 
cnn = new SqlConnection(master);
 
return cnn;
 
}
 


---

Code:

---

private string masterString()                //this creates the connection string
 
{
 
string c;
 
c = "server=" + server + ";initial catalog=master;Connect Timeout=10;user id=" + username + ";password=" + password + ";Trusted_connection=false";
 
return c;
 
}

if anyone could shed some light on this, i would be really grateful :)

thanks

Hi,

Executing a Stored procedure from Csharp Web application. The sample code is given below. In this example, CreateUser is the stored procedure name.


void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

string SPName = "CreateUser";
string connectionString = "Data Source=XXX.XX.XXX.XX;database=abc123;User ID=pa23;Password=cddc;";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);

SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(SPName, conn);
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

SqlParameter pFName = new SqlParameter("@FName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "FName");
pFName.Value = txtFname.Text;
myCommand.Parameters.Add(pFName);

SqlParameter pLName = new SqlParameter("@LName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "LName");
pLName.Value = txtLname.Text;
myCommand.Parameters.Add(pLName);

SqlParameter pret = new SqlParameter();
pret.ParameterName = "@iret";
pret.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;
pret.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int;
pret.SourceColumn = "iret";
myCommand.Parameters.Add(pret);

try
{

conn.Open();
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
commandresult = (int)myCommand.Parameters["@iret"].Value;
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
commandresult = ex.Number;
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
}
