Cannot open database"..."requested by the login...??

Hello,

I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and I am following the book:"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 E-commerce in C# . I am encountering a problem and I haven't got the slightest idea how to solve the problem.

(If you have the book I got to p98)

If I debug then I get the next error: cannot open database"..." requested by the login...

In the book I had to make a GenericDataAccess.cs. What follows are snippets where the error occurs.

public static DataTable ExecuteSelectCommand(DbCommand command)

{

DataTable table

try

{

command.Connection.Open();

DbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();

table = new DataTable();

table.Load(reader);

reader.Close();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

Utilities.LogError(ex);

throw ex; //this is where my error occurs when I debug it

}

finally

{

commandConnection.close();

}

return table;

}

Ideas and sollutions are more than welcome :-)

YES!!!

I'm currently using the same book and having the same problem too!

May i ask if how did you bypass the SQL Express part? Which programs did you use to substitute SQL Express Manager? I'm having problems with my database connection.

Would appreciate if you can share.

Thanks!
