Connection string parsing error

[brucecallen]

FYI if you split the connection string line in web.config into multiple lines you will get an error:

Unknown connection string parameter ' Password'

For example this connection string will fail:

Code: Select all

connectionString="metadata=res://*/SalesForceDataModel.csdl
			|res://*/SalesForceDataModel.ssdl
			|res://*/SalesForceDataModel.msl;
		provider=Devart.Data.Salesforce;
		provider connection string="
			User Id=xxxxxx;
			Password=yyyyy;
			Security Token=zzzzzz;
			Client Id=AFG.Admin;
			Persist Security Info=True;
			Host=login.salesforce.com;
			Data Cache=d:/web/admin/appdata/1.db;
			Metadata Cache=d:/web/admin/appdata/1_metadata.db;"" 
	   providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

If you try the same thing with a SqlClient connection string it will work.

This isn't a major issue but with the increased size and complexity of EntityFramework connection strings it is helpful to split these up into multiple lines to make them more readable.

Thank you
