#1: SqlConnectionString/ODBC/VS2008
Posted on 2008-04-24 19:39:52 by GH
I have the following code, in an ASP.NET app, to setup a connection in
code.
string connectionString =
"DSN=Interbase;UID=SYSDBA;DB=C:\\Data\\MEMDATA.GDB;";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
When I try to run the app I get the following error message
System.ArgumentException: Keyword not supported: 'dsn'.
How can I get an ODBC connection, to work with the code above?
TIA

Not sure what answer is but check out this page it has as many possible
connection strings as I have seen:

The SqlConnection is only for MS SQL server.
If you using DSN then you need to use OdbcConnection class

You're using SqlConnection - that's only for SQL Server. If you absolutely
must use ODBC, then you need OdbcConnection.
But why are you trying to use ODBC when there is a perfectly good native
..NET data provider available...?
