Unknown connection string parameter 'License Key'

[etienneaudet]

Good morning,

I am an intern tasked with migrating a Visual Basic .NET Framework 4.0 application to dotConnect 9.4.280. The previous version was 7.x.

My colleagues informed me that dotConnect version 9+ does not verify licenses in the licenses.licx file anymore. Therefore, I have removed all references to dotConnect from that file but I have kept it in the project because was use another library that needs it. After doing that, I removed all references to DevArt from my GAC and then installed dotConnect 9.4.

I have then added the "License Key" parameter to the connection string but an exception is thrown. Here is my connection string:

Code: Select all

m_connectionString = String.Format("User Id={0};Password={1};Direct=true;Data Source={2};Port={3};SID={4};License Key={5}", .User, .PWD, tnsInfo.Host, tnsInfo.Port, tnsInfo.Sid, licenseKey)

License key is a constant defined in the class.

Please tell me if I've omitted any important information, and thank you.

Did you install the Devart .NET Core assemblies via nuget? If the error persists, set a break point in your code, run it in the debug mode, navigate to Debug > Windows > Modules and specify the paths of loaded Devart.* assemblies.

The assemblies will not install because they are targeting .NET Core. My project is .NET 4.0. In the walkthrough it says create a new .NET Core project.

Are license keys only useable with .NET Core projects?

The assemblies will not install because they are targeting .NET Core. My project is .NET 4.0.

The Devart packages uploaded to www.nuget.org are .NET Standard 1.3 compliant. Refer to the compatibility matrix at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet ... rd/library: .NET Standard 1.3 assemblies can be used in .NET Framework projects 4.6 and higher.

A licensing approach is specific to the type of assemblies (not projects): viewtopic.php?t=35459#p123288.

There is a bug in a current version of dotConnect for Oracle: Devart .NET Standard assemblies throw "Feature is not supported." in .NET Framework project. We have already fixed the issue and will notify you when our NuGet packages are updated.
