How to connect Management Studio to embedded RavenDB in winforms app?

[Sean Kearon]

I'm using an embedded DB in a winforms app:

         store = new EmbeddableDocumentStore
         {
            DataDirectory = "Data",
            UseEmbeddedHttpServer = true
            //,Url = "http://localhost:123/sk"
         };

I want to use Management Studio to browse the data.  How do I do this?

You need to deploy Raven.Studio.xap into the same directory as your winforms app exe.

Added it your project 'As a link' and set Copy to Output Directory to 'Copy if newer'.

Then browse to the url that your are specifying below.

Thanks Damian, but I still can't access the UI.  Is there anything else I need to do?

Calling store.OpenSession() gives: Target machine actively refused connection.  I've got this:

         store = new EmbeddableDocumentStore
         {
            DataDirectory = "Data",
            UseEmbeddedHttpServer = true

            ,Url = "http://localhost:8080"
         };
 
         store.Initialize();
         NonAdminHttp.EnsureCanListenToWhenInNonAdminContext(8080);

Then this:

         using (var session = store.OpenSession())
         {
            session.Store(new Company...

Boom!  

Any ideas?

Sean,

If you specify Url, it override the DataDirectory and makes RavenDB think you are using a remote db.

What you have there is sufficent, and you should be able to go into http://localhost:8080 and see it.

Thanks, that worked.
