I'm getting the error "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized. " when I try to databind a LLBLGenProDataSource2 control to a Telerik RadGrid. Has anyone run into this error or know how I might resolve it. I'm not sure why it's having a connection string issue as I don't have the issue if LivePersistence="false" and I set the datasource via the code behind. I only get it when I try to LivePersistence, which I would really like to use so that I don't have to do all of the manual coding using the events method.

    
<llblgenpro:LLBLGenProDataSource2 ID="CodeSetsDataSource" runat="server" 
        AdapterTypeName="Wachter.Enterprise.CodeSets.Domain.DatabaseSpecific.DataAccessAdapter, Wachter.Enterprise.CodeSets.Domain"

Thanks, Brad

Maybe you're setting the connectionString via code-behind too late. If the grid tries to populate the grid (so the llblgenDatasource fetch the data) before you set the connectionString, that should be the reason. Where (load, init, ect) are you setting this value?

I determined that the LLBLGen domain layer was generated from a different DB than what I was trying to connect to and I had to point to a different provider with the correct connection string configurations for this to work as expected.

Thanks for your quick response...
