Hello,

My Entity Framework always points to my local database...I have tried to change the string Connection by passing the data of a database that is on another server and nothing happens it keeps pointing location even if I comment the connectionString

<add name="DefaultConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=aspnet-ProjetoZeus-20151023162720;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-ProjetoZeus-20151023162720.mdf" />

Does anyone know how I can fix this ?

Class that inherits Dbcontext

        public DbSet<Endereco> Endereco { get; set; }
        public DbSet<ItemPedido> Itens { get; set; }

    }

context:

Contexto context = new Contexto();

Pole the web.config or app.config complete.

Not much of a secret. Pro SQL Server, for example, just point to the instance and remove the reference to the file name, because traditional SQL Server databases do not use files:

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="DefaultConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=ProjetoZeus;Integrated Security=SSPI;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
  </connectionStrings>

Here I am considering that you have installed SQL Server Express.

Gypsy...I want to point to a new Amazon server that I just caught... wanted him to create the automatic tables... Code First

If Amazon created the database for you, yes, you need.

I commented the connectionString that was pointing location and put another according to the one you sent...but still pointing local rs

There’s something wrong there. You didn’t happen to force a Connection String in the DbContext?

Very weird. It’s all right. See how it looks web.config after publication.

Well, I don’t know what it is. I still think it’s some configuration thing.

As you said in the comments you’re pointing to an Amazon server, I don’t know if it’s the same as your application, but try using this connectionString:

<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=SERVER\INSTANCIA;Initial Catalog=DATABASENAME;Persist Security Info=True;         User ID=USUARIO;Password=SENHA;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

At this link has several examples for connectionStrings.

If your application is layered it may be that in the persistence layer you have an app.config file with an additional connection string. This happens in some cases depending on how you created the model.

It may be that this is always forcing the note to the local bank.

Dude, blz. I just started my account and I didn’t know that the community was just for veterans, and I don’t even think that community is built like this. Besides, from what I analyzed of the question I really believe that this might be it, an extra connection string in the app.config that the guy might not have realized existed, was an attempt to help someone solve a problem, After all the guy just asked how to change the database his application is pointing to, because even commenting the string on the web.config application continued pointing to the local bank, would not need more information.
