Sometimes spacing and Order of parameters in connection string matters (based on personal experience and a long night :S)

So stick to the standard format here

Server=myServerAddress; Port=1234; Database=myDataBase; Uid=myUsername; Pwd=myPassword;

In my case by removing portion  port 3306   from the connection string solved the problem

User · Answer

I found the solution to my problem  I was having the same issue  Previously I had my connection string as this notice the port  3306 needs to be either attached to the server like that 127 0 0 1 3306 or removed from server like that Server 127 0 0 1 Port 3306 depending on your  NET environment   quot Server 127 0 0 1 3306 Uid username Pwd password Database db  quot   It was running fine until something happened which I am not sure exactly what it is  might be a recent update to my  NET application packages  It looks like format and spacing of the connection string is important  Anyways  the following format seems to be working for me   quot Server 127 0 0 1 Port 3306 Uid username Pwd password Database db  quot   Try either of the versions and see which one works for you  Also I noticed that you are not using camel casing  this could be it  Make sure your property names are in capital casing like that Server Port Uid Pwd Database

If you are accessing the live database by using localhost URL then it will not work   Please deploy your service or website on IIS and create URL and then access the database by using new URL  It will work

use SqlConnectionStringBuilder to simplify the connection   System Data SqlClient SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder   new System Data SqlClient SqlConnectionStringBuilder    builder  Initial Catalog      Server   builder  Data Source      db   builder  integrated Security     true  string connexionString   builder ConnectionString  SqlConnection connexion   new SqlConnection connexionString   try   connexion Open    return true    catch   return false

Just ran into the same problem  Installing the  NET framework on the target machine solved the problem   Better yet  make sure all required dependencies are present in the machine where the code will be running

Since this is the top result on Google   If your connection works initially  but you begin seeing this error after many successful connections  it may be this issue   In summary   if you open and close a connection  Windows reserves the TCP port for future use for some stupid reason   After doing this many times  it runs out of available ports   The article gives a registry hack to fix the issue        Here are my registry settings on XP 2003   HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services Tcpip Parameters MaxUserPort 0xFFFF  DWORD  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services Tcpip Parameters MaxUserPort TcpTimedWaitDelay 60  DWORD        You need to create them  By default they don t exists       On Vista 2008 you can use netsh to change it to something like   netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport tcp start 10000 num 50000       but the real solution is to use connection pooling  so that  opening  a connection really reuses an existing connection   Most frameworks do this automatically  but in my case the application was handling connections manually for some reason
