This problem will be fixed also in the next build.

Plash, you said:

We will fix the problem with providers in the next UniDAC build.
Providers are used to add providers units to USES automatically. But you can easily add a provider unit to USES manually.

When I do this and add InterBaseUniProvider to the USES clause I get a Provider not defined error when I try to set Connected to True.

Thanks,
Russell Merka

You should assign a value to the Provider property of TUniConnection.

I get the same error regardless of what I put in the Provider property.

Please see the UniDAC demo. It works without the provider components.

Yes I can connect using the dialog at run-time. However the provider is not available at design-time and I don't want to show my users a dialog and give out database security info either. So this does not help.

Thanks,

Hi Russell,

I think you may have mistaken 2 different issues: the "ProviderName" property (like "SQL Server" or "Oracle" etc) can just be set at runtime.

The "Login" dialog is independent of that and you should set the "LoginPrompt" property of the TUniConnection to "False" and then the credentials like "Username", "Password", "Server".

Also, for SQL Server you may choose the authentication mode like this:
MyUniConnection.SpecificOptions.Values['Authentication'] := 'AuWindows' or
MyUniConnection.SpecificOptions.Values['Authentication'] := 'AuServer'

Regards,
Tobias

Thanks tobias_cd, I understand that but I still cannot connect to a Db at design time unless I am missing something.

Hello, I have bought UniDAC library about a month ago. I have spent plenty of time to move project from IBX to UniDAC. There are many UniProvider Components on different forms of my project now.

When you have written that UniDAC is ready for Delphi 2010, I collected components from other providers (TMS and so on) and I moved all the project to Delphi 2010. But now, on many forms I have an information that UniProvider components are not available. I can not run my work because I do not want to change all the forms with UniProvider components.

So I stopped all my work and I started looking for a solution. And now I have found that it is a bug, that you do not want to repair immediately??? It is not just a small problem of comfort. I understand, that looking for a urgent solution can take even some hours. NOT DAYS. For me it is a CRITICAL BUG, which stops my further work! What should I do now? Stop developing for a month? Go back to IBX?

Why did not you removed a news your WWW that "UniDAC is ready for Delphi 2010" immediately after you got an infomation about this bug?

I am really surprised. Could you write us when exactly a fixed version will be available? I just have started a cooperation with your company, but I hope it is not your regular method of handling such situations.

We are planning to release the new UniDAC build this week.

rmerka · Post by **rmerka** » Mon 12 Oct 2009 14:21

Any news on the fixed build?

Now, this is a very bad approach for handling a buggy product. You are advertising your product as "Delphi 2010 compatible", but the product is not.

You should provide a fix as soon as possible, or you will lose customers.

Just my two cents.

I'm new with UniDAC an was very astonished when I didn't find any providers in the the Pro Edtion, but as I found out, I'm not the only one.
In a posting here I could read that there is a new build comming in a few days. Because I'm new, can anyone tell me where I can get the new build, when it is released.

sincerly Reiner
