Hi Ben, I am comfortable with SQL management.When I say "setupaction.exe"the output in the command line is:-
-Setting up database -Config.Appsettings: -dbserver is .\MSSQLExpress -installPath is C:\StockTraderDemo\ dbadmin is sa authType is SQL ..... system.expection:unable to login with newly created trade user account,Error:login failed for the user 'trade' at setupactions.setupaction.createdatabase(string databasename,string userid,string password) in C:\stocktraderdemo\setup_utilities\SetupActions\setupactions.cs What do you mean by the database was populated for a couple of seconds? -I checked for database->stocktraderDB using SQL management,the database is present however the tables are not there. If you already have the DB setup from a .NET installation all you would need to do is add the endpoints to the Services table. -when i had initially taken the code from stonhenge a couples month back,I was successful in populating the database .The previous database did not have a "Service Table".So I am doing it again.Moreover,there has been lot of changes in the code since then Now can you pls tell me the right approach to fix the bug? with Regards, Vineet Ghatge H
