Cannot create Postgre connection in VS2015

Post by chicane » Sat 05 Sep 2015 12:33

I installed dotConnect for PostgreSQL from nuGet. I made several attempts to create a PostgreSQL connection from the Server Explorer and elsewhere. I do not see the PostgreSQL option for connection type. I only see SQL Server and Oracle. What is going on?

Just double check your config settings.

When you install dotConnect for PostgreSQL from NuGet, only run-time assemblies are added to your project. You need a full installation package in order to have dotConnect for PostgreSQL in the Server Explorer.

You can download the Express edition of dotConnect for PostgreSQL from our site. You can also download trial version of dotConnect for PostgreSQL, which allows you to evaluate dotConnect for PostgreSQL during 30 days since the provider installation. The Trial version of dotConnect for PostgreSQL offers the same features as the Professional edition. For more information, please refer to https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/postg ... tions.html

You can download them from our site https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/postg ... nload.html

Also, dotConnect for PostgreSQL can't be integrated into DDEX in the Express edition of Visual Studio. For more information, please refer to https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/postg ... Q.html#q11
