I am very new to ASP.NET, and did not see a similar error posted
anywhere. Here is my situation.

I followed the instructions in Peter Bromberg's excellent article "Host
Winforms - based UserControl Apps in Internet Explorer" from
www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20021205.asp. However, I have run into a
problem at the last step - testing the control in an .aspx page ;)

I was able to create a data grid (System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid) and get
it to interact with a table in a named SQL Server instance. I tested the
grid as part of a Windows Application, because I was warned that it is
very hard to debug controls in .aspx pages :) It worked just fine. Both
the grid and the Application were created as C# programs in Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET. The projects' build configuration is “debug”. I
continued by adding an “object” tag to a simple .aspx page. The page
loads and the grid appears to display just fine.

Now for the main problem… I have a button that makes a connection to the
database and loads data into the grid. When I click the button, I
receive an error:

"An unhandled exception has occured in a component in your application."
It continues - "System.ArgumentException: Invalid element value
workstation id=WHITEBOXATHLON;packet size=4096;integrated
security=SSPI;data source="WHITEBOXATHLON\SS1S";persist security
info=False;initial catalog=SS1S."

I am unsure what the error is trying to tell me. (I don’t know how to
interpret it.)

Here are the environment details:
Computer name: whiteboxAthlon
Full computer name: whiteboxAthlon.ss1s.pri
Windows 2000 Professional (SP4)
IIS 5.0; services log on as administrative account “.\rfrainier”
SQL Server 2000 (SP3); use windows authentication (not mixed mode) the
database instance is “WHITEBOXATHLON\SS1S” (E:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server\MSSQL$SS1S)


Here is a secondary problem - I did modify both machine.config (under
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG) and the ASP.NET
application web.config to add the line “<system.windows.forms
jitDebugging="true" />”. (Recall the projects build configuration was
“debug”.) However, no JIT debugger appears. Do I have to do something
extra?

Many thanks for any help you all can give me!
 
The error looked like a system error to me, not a security error
(System.ArgumentException). Still, I made the change to give Local
Intranet zone full trust, and now it works fine. Many thanks!

(Any ideas why the jitdebugger did not launch?)
 
Just check if ur conn str is simple like this

Server=MyServer;UID=xxx;PWD=xxx;Database=Mydb; Connect Timeout=60

Also u will have to adjust the security using

programs->settings-> admin tools-> ms .net framework wizards

Give full trust to intranet group.
