Hi there

I have setup an app and published it. Using the DB connection string provided i'm trying to connect to my database remotly from by debug build. I can access the SB in SQL management studio and add the tables etc.
When i run my application i get an error about connecting to the DB.

I'm using Castle ActiveRecord in my implementation.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

    Can you provide a more specific error message? Also, does it work if you push your code to AppHarbor?

    Thank you for getting back to me.
    Sorry I was being an idiot. I had pasted the connection string wrong. I was using the app with a local DB and had left the DataSource= in before the connection string.

    I felt really stupid when I found it.
    I can now confirm that i have the app running on AppHarbor and it works like a dream. Very simple and easy to use.

    Keep up the good work guys.

    I would also just like to say i was not keen on git at first but after using it for a while i really like it.
