Having issue with Keyword not supported: 'trust server certificate in Visual Studio VB

Question

Hi. I'm trying to run VB code in visual studio form project but get an error when code is trying to run. Error is: "System.ArgumentException: 'Keyword not supported: 'trust server certificate'.'". The line in code affected is:

Data Source=CDOPWD-4023;Initial Catalog=PREVENTION_DATABASE;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=cesrivas;Password=***********;TrustServerCertificate=True

Answer 1

Hi @Cesar Rivas

Not all data providers or database systems support this option.

If you're working with a database system that doesn't support this option, you'll need to remove the TrustServerCertificate=True part from your connection string.

Best Regards.

Yes, after removing "Trust Server Certificate=False" from connection string
"Data Source=__-LAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MovieRentalDb;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False;Encrypt=False; Trust Server Certificate=False", it worked for me.

Modified connectionString :-

"Data Source=____-LAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MovieRentalDb;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False;Encrypt=False"
