Devart Forums

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new instance of the class UniConnection and get it's "ProviderFactory" property with "System.Data.Entity.Core.Common.DbProviderServices.GetProviderFactory()" but the UniConnection is being created with the property "ProviderFactory" as null value.

My code is : I get the following exception: I can't set it's value because it's private. How can I proceed ?

Thanks,

dotConnect Universal doesn't support Entity Framework. You should use Professional Edition of database specific provider, e.g. dotConnect for PostgreSQL Professional.

Ok. I know Devart dotConnect Universal doesn't support Entity Framework, but my questions is:
Why when I create a UniConnection, the field "ProviderFactory" is setted to null ? It should have the value of the provider (Devart in this case).

Please use instead of

I need to get the factory of a UniConnection, and not from a string.

In my scenario, I have no choice but to use Entity's method, so i'll repeat my question:
"Why when I create a UniConnection, the field "ProviderFactory" is setted to null ? It should have the value of the provider (Devart in this case)."

I used your method ("System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactory()") passing a UniConnection, and it also returns null.

The reason the Entity's method doesn't work, is the same reason yours method doesn't work, because the UniConnection's field "ProviderFactory" is setted to null.

I used another Provider connection for test, and when I created it, there was the value of the Provider in the DBConnection field ProviderFactory, so both methods worked.

Do you know how to set this field ?

We will notify you when the issue is fixed.

The bug with using the System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(DbConnection) method with the UniConnection object is fixed in the newest (3.60.1155) build: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=33720.
