Migrate from System.Data.OracleClient in two simple steps with Devart

corelab — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Devart offers dotConnect for Oracle – fast and reliable ADO.NET provider for the wide range of users. Our ADO.NET provider is the most compatible with OracleClient. dotConnect allows you to migrate from MS OracleClient just in two simple steps.
As you might know from ADO.NET team blog Microsoft announced deprecation of OracleClient as a part of ADO.NET roadmap and strongly recommended to use third-party ADO.NET providers for Oracle instead of continuing to use Microsoft’s OracleClient for new application development.
We have researched problems, which users may encounter migrating from OracleClient to dotConnect for Oracle and found two major. They are Interface differences and Behavior differences. Devart reduces all them just by 2 simple actions. Almost all differences in the names of the classes, methods, and fields between OracleClient and dotConnect for Oracle were removed. Migration Wizard will solve the problems with the minor differences that still exist so you don't have to learn new interface. All behavior differences will be simply reduced just by inserting one string to your code. As simply as that.

ASP.NET Web Site Admin tool & Custom Provider

GreggTB — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 05:00:00 GMT

FYI: I did

I have written two custom providers for our Oracle 9i database...a Membershp provider and a Role provider. I've been testing these over the last few days and they seem to be working well. However, when I try to use the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Administration Tool in VS 2005, I get an error when I click on the "Create User" link.

On the tool's Provider tab, I have selected to use my custom providers! Also, I do not seem to have a problem managing existing users or creating/managing roles. Nor do I have any problems when I programmatically create a new user using the "Membership.CreateUser()" method. The error only seems to occur when I try to use the "Create User" link via the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Administration Tool's Security tab.

The following info is a portion of what's written to the Application Event Log:
/**********************************/
Exception information:
Exception type: ConfigurationErrorsException
Exception message: The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Config\machine.config line 120)
/**********************************/

In my application's WEB.CONFIG file, I have removed the default connection info for the "LocalSqlServer" connection. I have also added a <clear/> element under each provider as suggested in this post: http://forums.asp.net/thread/1291997.aspx.

In the computer's MACHINE.CONFIG file, I do have an entry for the "LocalSqlServer" connection, as well as entries for the default AspNetSqlMembershipProvider, AspNetSqlProfileProvider and AspNetSqlRoleProvider providers. I've tried commenting out all of these entries but then I still get an error (although a different one) when I try to use the "Create User" link via the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Administration Tool's Security tab.

Has anyone else encountered this error and know of a solution? Any ideas why this error occurs only via the one link in the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site Administration Tool?

I'd greatly appreciate any assistance with this issue. Thank you!
