Unable to determine the provider name for connection of type
Posted: Tue 31 May 2011 18:27
Hello,
I am trying to get the demo version of the dotconnect working with entity framework 4.1, using code first. I am trying to run this through a unit test project. So the app.config of my unit test has the following.
In the bin directory I have Devart.Data.Oracle.dll, Devart.Data.dll, Devart.data.oracle.entity.dll.
But yet every time I run I get
Unable to determine the provider name for connection of type 'Devart.Data.Oracle.OracleConnection'.
The one thing I don't have is a license file. I am trying out the 30 day deal. Is this an expected error for no license file? I did try to create just a text file and add it to my project called licesnse.licx and list to the two dll's as stated in the doc. But that didn't work either same error.
FYI I have the oracle beta working, but I am hoping for a easier install during deployment. My hope was to change the connection string, list the factory, include the dll's and be off an running. No such luck so far.
Thanks
Jeff
