Hey, I am trying to create a login page that checks the username and password with the database on the server. The server is located in a different country.

This is the code I have so far:

    #region Building the connection string

            string Server = "XX.XXX.XX.XX, XXXX";
            string Username = "_Username_";
            string Password = "_Password_";
            string Database = "_Database_";

            string ConnectionString = "Data Source=" + Server + ";";
            ConnectionString += "User ID=" + Username + ";";
            ConnectionString += "Password=" + Password + ";";
            ConnectionString += "Initial Catalog=" + Database;

            #endregion

            SqlConnection SQLConnection = new SqlConnection();

            try
            {
            SQLConnection.ConnectionString = ConnectionString;
            SQLConnection.Open();
 
            // You can get the server version 
            // SQLConnection.ServerVersion
            }

            catch (Exception Ex)
            {
            // Try to close the connection
            if (SQLConnection != null)
                SQLConnection.Dispose();
 
            // Create a (useful) error message
            string ErrorMessage = "A error occurred while trying to connect to the server.";
            ErrorMessage += Environment.NewLine;
            ErrorMessage += Environment.NewLine;
            ErrorMessage += Ex.Message;
 
            // Show error message (this = the parent Form object)
            MessageBox.Show(this, ErrorMessage, "Connection error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
 
            // Stop here
            return;
}

I am getting the error message:

Non-negative number required. Parameter name: count

I have accepted wildcards on my server and I have no idea what that error means? Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.
