Unexpected Error in Visual Studio 2005

william235 · Post by **william235** » Wed 04 Oct 2006 12:42

Iam having difficulty after installing this product
in Visual Studio 2005. Although installation appears to have been
sucessful, when I attempt to add a database connection I get:

"an unexpected error has occurred in the Postgresql .net data provider.
please contact vendor to resolve this problem."

There is no other information, just that error. I am a registered user using psqlnet 2.5 2

What edition of Visual Studio do you use?
Specify your hardware architecture: x32 or x64?
What version of PostgreSQLDirect .NET do you use (Std, Pro, Mobile)?
What is the full version of the dll (2.XX.XX.X)?

Thanks for your reply to my inquiry. Following are the answers to your questions:

Windows XP SP2
Visual Studio 2005 Specifically Visual Basic
X32 Architecture
PostgreSQLDirect .NET Pro
The full version of the dll is (2.50.15.0)

The error occurs immediately when I right click on data connections in order to open a new connection.

Thanks again for your help.

Version 2.50.15.0 is not the last one. Please download the latest PostgreSQLDirect .NET from our site and use it.

I have downloaded the most recent version of the dll 2.50.21.0. Still get exactly the same error message.

What data connections do you mean?

Thanks again for your assistance.

When I right click on "Data Connections" in the database explorer pane and choose add connection the problem occurs.

If I go in the tools menu and use the dataset wizard I can get a lot further, seeing the tables and all of that, but the connection is never made. The problem occurs when I attempt a new connection to the db. I have verified using PGAdmin that I am connected and the database is online.

I have tried this on another separate machine on the same network that has VS2005 and get the same error. Also, to clarify, I am using VS2005 Standard edition primarily with visual basic.

Try to run "devenv /resetskippkgs" from the command line.
