A client connection problem....

Question

Hi All,
I have a client connection problem.
The project which i did with C# (vs.net 2005) and Oracle XE , works well on my developer machine but i am getting a connection string error on the client side. The error comes from System.Exception class not from OracleException.
The properties of the Oracle.DataAccess reference are ;
Description: Oracle.DataAccess.dll
Runtime Version:v1.0.3705
Version: 10.2.0.100
Path: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin\Oracle.DataAccess.dll
The sample code is:
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Types;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
OracleConnection cnn = new OracleConnection();
OracleCommand cmm = new OracleCommand();
try
cnn.ConnectionString = "USER ID=" + textEdit1.Text + ";PASSWORD=" + textEdit2.Text +
";DATA SOURCE=" + textEdit3.Text + ";";
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
cmm.Connection = cnn;
cmm.Connection.Open();
cmm.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmm.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM FORMS";
OracleDataAdapter ad = new OracleDataAdapter(cmm);
ad.Fill(ds);
gridControl1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
cmm.Connection.Close();
cnn.Dispose();
catch (OracleException oexx)
MessageBox.Show(oexx.Message,"From OracleException");
cmm.Connection.Close();
cnn.Dispose();
catch (Exception exx)
MessageBox.Show(exx.Message,"Fromn Exception");
cmm.Connection.Close();
cnn.Dispose();
And the error message is:
'user ıd' is an invalid connection string attribute --> Oracle.DataAccess
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

1. What is the client machine locale? Is it Turkish by any chance?
2. Try using lowe case "user id" in the connection string instead of upper case "USER ID".
