LinqConnect Professional Version 4.5.976 (25-Apr-2016) - MS SQL Server Provider dont show!

[AKRRKA]

Hi,

After uninstall LinqConnect Professional Version 4.5.940 (25-Feb-2016) and instal new version LinqConnect Professional Version 4.5.976 (25-Apr-2016), Entity Developer dont show MS SQL Server Provider (show only Compact version).

When uninstall 4.5.976 and arleady install old version 4.5.940, provider for MS SQL Server is allowed.
Test on two computer with Win 8.1.

For me it's a huge problem.The big request to fix as soon as possible.
I installed on two computers, one of which clean new Windows 8.1.
Did nobody else notice? When testing you did not check?

We are investigating the issue.

Please specify:

1. Does the problem with missing ".Net Framework Data Provider for SqlServer" persist with a standalone (a) Entity Developer or the one integrated (b) in Visual Studio?

2. Make sure that the <DbProviderFactories> section of your C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config contains:

Code: Select all

<add name="SqlClient Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SqlServer" type="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientFactory, System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" /> 

3. Send us your C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Devart\EntityDeveloper\EntityDeveloper.exe.config.

1) Please see video demo first (now 0 downloads).
With visual studio the same problem.

2-3) The two configuration files you can download here.

You can check yourself. It's very simple. Just do what I showed in the video.

Thank you for the additional information.

You can check yourself.

We have reproduced the issue on one test workstation (although ".Net Framework Data Provider for SqlServer" is available on other workstations). We are investigating the problem.

As a workaround, please add the following entry to the <configuration><system.data><DbProviderFactories> section of your C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config manually:

Code: Select all

<add name="SqlClient Data Provider" invariant="System.Data.SqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for SqlServer" type="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientFactory, System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />

Does this work now?

[AKRRKA]

Yes, if i add this line to the provider list of the configuration file, it appears SQL Server support.
But! Only on the computer where it is to do, and on the client computers is still not working. I can not all customers is to write to the configuration file.

I tried on three computers (Win 8.1, 8.1 and 10), anywhere such entry in the file is not present and at the same version works 4.5.940 and 4.5.976 does not work.

Please fix this error. It is very critical for me.

PS: It can not be a temporary solution.

[Shalex]

We are working on this problem and will notify you about the result as soon as possible.

[AKRRKA]

Unfortunately now forced to revert to an older version.
Waiting for fixes.

[Shalex]

The bug with availability of the System.Data.SqlClient provider in Create Model Wizard and Database Explorer is fixed. We will notify you when the corresponding public build of LinqConnect is available for download (approximate timeframe is two business days).

As a temporary workaround, we have just sent to your email (used in Customer Portal) an internal build with the fix.

[AKRRKA]

Ok. I wait for tomorrow because I need two, between the synchronized component (dotConnect Universal Professional and LinqConnect Professional).
