Hi, I am evaluating LLBLGen and I seem to be having a bit of trouble. I generated some code using the designer. When I went to run my first qry it threw an error saying "the connection string property has not been initialized." What's the magic dust I am missing? Thanks ... Ed

You'll have to define it either in your app.config or pass it to adapter's constructor (see help for more details).

Hmmm, I have a connection string defined in the app.config. Perhaps I am declaring the connection object incorrect?

I am using: Dim db as new CommonDB.Linq.LinqMetaData

Where CommonDB is my oracle db.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks ... Ed

A typical connection string should looks like:

<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="Main.ConnectionString" value="data source=..."/>
        </appSettings>
</configuration>

What template set (Adapter, SelfServicing) are you using? If you are using Adapter, you should assign an adapter instance to the LinqMetaData variable:

Dim adapter as new DataAccesAdater()
Dim db as new CommonDB.Linq.LinqMetaData(adapter)

Hi, I'm using SelfServicing. Thanks ... Ed

I have a connection string defined in the app.config.

Is this the app.config file of the generated code or the config file of your application. As you should copy the connection string from the app.config file of the generated code to the config file of your application.
