Login Failed

description

I am trying to use the toolkit to generate local database cache code but I get a login failed error to my sql server db. The SQL Server databbase is 2008 (not R2). I am able to create a datasource in VS 2010 in this same project. I am also able to use SSMS from this machine to the database.
 
While creating the connection properties I am using SQL Server credentials and the "Test Connection" button returns: "The connection succeeded" and I am able to choose from the databases on the instance dropdown.
 
 
The error is:
 
Message: Login failed for user 'xxxx'.
Source : .NetSqlClient Data Provider
Number : 18456

Check the code at the beginning of the Synchronize method, that the connections strings there are valid.

My error occurs when I am in VS 2010 when I right click on "Generate Local Database Cache code... before any code is generated. Is there a way to view the code template ?

We just use the built-in VS connection dialog - you can download the source and have a look.

I found the problem. In the dialog, I am choosing SQL Server credentials and the password is not included in the DataConnectionDialog.DisplayConnectionString so the connection to the database fails. I tried switching to DataConnectionDialog.EncryptedConnectionString but this caused downstream errors.

While I did get past this by using Windows credentials I am now getting another error trying to generate local cache code. I've attached a screen shot in the file below

Thanks for pointing out this general SQL login issue. Did you try the "Save my Password" checkbox?
Is you project under source control?

You need to have Sync Framework 2.1 installed - check the About button on the Toolbox toolbar...

I have created a work item to change Server Connection handling in the Toolbox to use another method...
