Using dotConnect for Oracle 5.00 Mobile Trial
I drop an OracleConnection (5.0.12.1) object on my form, configure the connection like this:

"User Id=pny;Password=mis;Server=192.168.1.99;Sid=orcl;
Port=1521;Persist Security Info=True;"

Connected a dataadapter to it and even read some data.
On the mobile device however ( WinCe 4.2 ) I call OracleConnection.Open() and get a exception with message 'Timeout, server not responding'.

Am I not doing something right?

thanks

Creted a new project for the heck of it.
It worked... ONCE, when the device was in it's cradle.

Had to cold boot my device, and after getting everything set up again, got the message 'trial has expired' on the open command. I installed the trial yesterday!

Out of despiration, I went ahead and purchased dotconnect Mobile, uninstalled trial, installed regiestered version and now I'm back to 'Timeout' network not responding.

Please, Devart I need some help here!!!!

Please add the "Direct=true;" parameter to your connection string, like

I have switched to a CE5.0 device with CF3.5 and uninstalled, deleted all traces of DotConnect, then re-installed. This is DotConnect Mobile 5 licensed version in VS 2008 and a VB app.

I created a single form project with an OracleConnection Object.
In the properties dialog of the connection object my string is:

User Id=pny;Password=mis;Server=192.168.1.99;Sid=orcl;Persist Security Info=True;

If I add the Direct=True, I get a
'Property not valid' dialog with 'Unknown connection string parameter Direct.'
If I try to modify the connectionstring at runtime, I get the same Unknown connection string parameter Direct. exception.

If I deploy and run, and attempt to open the connection I get an exception :
Network error:: An unknown, invalid, or unsupported option or level was specified in a getsockopt or setsockopt call

Here is my VS 2008 output window:

At this point I open the connection

Sorry for the inconvenience, the 5.0.12 build had this problem. Please download the current 5.0.16 build.
