DevExpress (DXv2) and DevArt dotConnect?

765 views Asked by At

I'm writing a C# Applications Solution v11.2 using eXpressApp Framework from DevExpress and the first thing I would like to do is make the 2 apps (web & win) connect to an Oracle Database without using the Oracle Client.

In my other projects I have used DevArt's dotConnect tool, which is great by the way (works without needing any Oracle Client installed).

I wonder if someone has tried this, 'cuz I just can't get it work. From what I read from the forums, I think that eXpress Framework doesn't recognize dotConnect's OracleConnection, or that I have to write my own XPO provider.. ?!

Please help! Thanks!

One of the approaches to accomplishing this task is to create a custom XPO connection provider. This class will be a descendant of one of the standard connection providers listed in the Database Systems Supported by XPO help topic. I believe the following KB article should helps.
