Devart Forums

Hi,
I use the TMSCompactConnection object to connect to a SQLServer compact 3.5 database.
At runtime, when the application connect the database I receive the following exception message:

Error reading MSConnection1.Options.LocaleIdentifier: Unknown locale identifer

The MSConnection1.Options.LocaleIdentifier is set to my default Locale Identifier which is Italian, but as soon as I run the application on a OS with different language I receive the above error.

I even tried to set the MSConnection1.Options.LocaleIdentifier to the LCID of the host computer before connecting the database without success.

Please can you help me?

I found that the problem depends on what is written in the .dfm file of the datamodule that contains the TMSCompactConnection object.

The LocaleIdentifier property is saved into the DFM file and raises the exception when the application start in a OS operating system with a locale identifier different from the one saved into the DFM.

DFM file content:

object MSConnection1: TMSCompactConnection
Options.LocaleIdentifier = 'Italiano (Italia)'
OnError = MSConnection1Error
LoginPrompt = False
Left = 464
Top = 32
end

Before installing the latest SDAC version the Options.LocaleIdentifier was never written into the .DFM and the error didnt'occur.

To bypass the problem I need to delete the "Options.LocaleIdentifier = 'Italiano (Italia)' "row in the DFM manually before compiling.

Please can you tell if this problem is really depending on DevArt and not on something wrong on my Delphi XE IDE?


Thanks.

We already fixed the problem with the LocalIdentifier property. This fix will be included in the next SDAC build. We are going to release SDAC this week.
