Entity Framework Connection Error “Cannot open database ”DB“ requested by the login. The login...












1














I am using Entity Framework in .NET MVC 3.0 and use Code First method.
And I used a .MDF file for database and also use "DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges" to generate database automatically after every change.



My application works correct, but when I open database from Server Explorer in VS, then my application gives an error:




Cannot open database "DB" requested
by the login. The login failed. Login
failed for user 'Mahdi-PCMahdi




Could you help me?!

Not sure, but... In the Data Connection dialog have you got the "Data Source" set to "Microsoft SQL Server" - I think you might need to change it to be "Microsoft SQL Server Database File"

    • That's not a login failure. That's trying to drop a database while it's connected.
