Specifies the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) password used when connecting to the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Agent.

Namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly: System.Data.SqlServerCe (in system.data.sqlserverce.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property InternetPassword As String

public string InternetPassword { get; set; }

public:
property String^ InternetPassword {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

/** @property */
public String get_InternetPassword ()

/** @property */
public void set_InternetPassword (String value)

public function get InternetPassword () : String

public function set InternetPassword (value : String)

Property Value

The IIS password string used when connecting to the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Agent. The default is no password.

Remarks

The InternetPassword property is required if the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Server Agent is configured to use Basic authentication or Integrated Windows authentication. When Integrated Windows authentication is used, the InternetPassword is not passed across the network.

When using Basic authentication, you should configure IIS to use SSL or Private Communication Technology (PCT) encryption to help protect user passwords. In the absence of SSL or PCT encryption, Basic authentication transmits passwords across the network in clear text form. This is unsafe; we strongly recommend that you always use SSL or PCT encryption to help protect passwords when using Basic authentication.

Example

The following example shows how to set the InternetPassword property of a SqlCeRemoteDataAccess object.

' Connection String to the SQL Server
'
Dim rdaOleDbConnectString As String = "Data Source=MySqlServer;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks; " & _
    "User Id=username;Password = <password>"

' Initialize RDA Object
'
Dim rda As SqlCeRemoteDataAccess = Nothing

Try
    ' Try the Pull Operation
    '
    rda = New SqlCeRemoteDataAccess( _
        "https://www.adventure-works.com/sqlmobile/sqlcesa35.dll", _
        "MyLogin", _
        "<password>", _
        "Data Source=MyDatabase.sdf")

    rda.Pull("Employees", "SELECT * FROM DimEmployee", rdaOleDbConnectString, _
        RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes, "ErrorTable")

    ' or, try one of these overloads:
    ' rda.Pull("Employees", "SELECT * FROM DimEmployee", rdaOleDbConnectString, _
    '     RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes)
    '
    ' rda.Pull("Employees", "SELECT * FROM DimEmployee", rdaOleDbConnectString)

Catch
    ' Handle errors here
    '
Finally
    ' Dispose of the RDA object
    '
    rda.Dispose()
End Try

// Connection String to the SQL Server
//
string rdaOleDbConnectString = "Data Source=MySqlServer;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks; " +
    "User Id=username;Password = <password>";

// Initialize RDA Object
//
SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = null;

try
{
    // Try the Pull Operation
    //
    rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess(
        "https://www.adventure-works.com/sqlmobile/sqlcesa35.dll",
        "MyLogin",
        "<password>",
        "Data Source=MyDatabase.sdf");

    rda.Pull("Employees", "SELECT * FROM DimEmployee", rdaOleDbConnectString,
        RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes, "ErrorTable");

    // or, try one of these overloads:
    //
    // rda.Pull("Employees", "SELECT * FROM DimEmployee", rdaOleDbConnectString,
    //     RdaTrackOption.TrackingOnWithIndexes);
    //
    // rda.Pull("Employees", "SELECT * FROM DimEmployee", rdaOleDbConnectString);
}
catch (SqlCeException)
{
    // Handle errors here
    //
}
finally
{
    // Dispose of the RDA object
    //
    rda.Dispose();
}
