David Loving | It's my first attempt at accessing an ElevateDB 2.0 Build 2 trial version database with MS VS 2008.
I created the sample database using the ElevateDB Manager and have no problem viewing the data with it. I am using the EDBConnectionStringBuilder to build my connection string with a local type, a config path and the database name. When I try to connect to the database in my C# application (EDBConnection.Open), I get the following error... ArgumentNullException Value cannot be null. Parameter Name: ptr Any ideas? |

David Loving | I have this in a standard windows forms application in the Form1.cs file...
using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using Elevate.ElevateDB.Data; namespace TestElevateDB { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { EDBConnectionStringBuilder csb = new EDBConnectionStringBuilder(); csb.Type = "LOCAL"; csb.ConfigPath = @"C:\Users\David\Documents\ElevateData"; csb.Database = "PetraShare"; EDBConnection conn = new EDBConnection(csb.ConnectionString); try { conn.Open(); textBox1.AppendText("Connection Open!"); } finally { conn.Close(); conn.Dispose(); } } } } "Tim Young [Elevate Software]" <timyoung@elevatesoft.com> wrote: David, << It's my first attempt at accessing an ElevateDB 2.0 Build 2 trial version database with MS VS 2008.

David Loving | Yes... I have edbmigratedbisam3.dll in the config folder. I used it to migrate a DBISAM 3.31 set of tables to ElevateDB 2.0 B2.
I have no other dlls or files other than EDBConfig.EDBcfg, .EDBlck and .EDBlog in the config folder. I have a sub folder of that folder containing the migrated database tables. David L.

David Loving | Yes... I had edbmigratedbisam3.dll in the config folder. I used it to migrate a DBISAM 3.31 set of tables to ElevateDB 2.0 B2.
I removed the dll and now get this... ElevateDB Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the configuration EDBConfig (Signature, password, character set (ANSI/Unicode), or version number mismatch) David L.

<< ElevateDB Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the configuration EDBConfig (Signature, password, character set (ANSI/Unicode), or version number mismatch) >> Are you sure that you're running the 2.0 .NET data provider ? You can test this by trying to set up a session in the 2.0 Unicode EDB Manager that uses the same configuration path as your C# application. If it works in the 2.0 EDB Manager, then you're still using the 1.x .NET data provider. Also, what does your machine.config (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG) have in it for these entries: <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Elevate.ElevateDB.Data" publicKeyToken="cf9bc1202c75e9e2"/> <codeBase version="2.0.2.0" href="file:///m:\products\source\edb2\edbprovider\Elevate.ElevateDB.Data.dll"/> </dependentAssembly> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="Elevate.ElevateDB.VisualStudio" publicKeyToken="009e2f3c00f33fa3"/> <codeBase version="2.0.2.0" href="file:///m:\products\source\edb2\edbprovidervs\Elevate.ElevateDB.VisualStudio.dll"/> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> and here: <system.data> <DbProviderFactories> <add name="ElevateDB Data Provider" invariant="Elevate.ElevateDB.Data" description="ElevateDB 2 .Net 2.0 Data Provider" type="Elevate.ElevateDB.Data.EDBProviderFactory, Elevate.ElevateDB.Data, Version=2.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cf9bc1202c75e9e2"/> </DbProviderFactories> </system.data> -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

David Loving | I searched on and read about the new error message in other threads...
I deleted my data folder and started all over again. I migrated the data using the Unicode version of ElevateDB Manager and the Unicode migration dll. I removed the Unicode migration dll (to get rid of the error message on connect about the ptr parameter) and the C# application connects correctly now. David L.

As long as they're Unicode, they should be okay for the .NET data provider. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
