The purpose of this dialog box is to define a database connection for an ASP.NET application.
NOTE |
|
Do not use any spaces or special characters in the name. |
If you need help with the connection string, click Templates to open the Connection String Template dialog box, select your OLE DB provider from the list of templates, and click OK.
Dreamweaver inserts a string template in the Connection String text box. Replace the placeholders in the string with the requested information. For more information, see Sample OLE DB connection parameters for ASP.NET.
Dreamweaver attempts to connect to the database. If the connection fails, double-check the connection string. If the connection still fails, check the settings for the folder Dreamweaver uses to process dynamic pages (see Specifying where dynamic pages can be processed).
The new connection appears in the Databases panel.
