Unable to connect to localDB in VS2012 – “A networ

问题:

This is strange as I'm able to connect to localDB through SSMS 2008R2 with the same connection string ("Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;Integrated Security=true")

Only C# code is unable to connect, I have tried increasing login time with Connect Timeout=60 but no luck.

I have also tried specifying the database Initial Catalog=<databasename> where the <databasename> is the one I have created on localdb via ssms.

Any pointers as to why is this not connecting?

回答1:

Any chance it is because you forgot to double-escape the backslash? Did you try this:

"Data Source=(LocalDB)\\v11.0;Integrated Security=true"

Or even better, you could just use the @ mark to disable character escaping for the entire connection string:

@"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;Integrated Security=true"
