Hi everyone, I'll put my two cents on it. The problem is that compiling with VS2008 and/or .NET 3.5 the compiler links System.Core, a .NET 3.0 library. Using the provider compiled with .NET 3.5 in a .NET 2.0 environment causes it to crash or have unexpected/bad behaviour (as I could experience in my projects using the latest provider's release). Programmers who uses .NET 2.0 (for example because they cannot upgrade the software in production from 2.0 to 3.5 or 4) have to get the provider's source code every new release and recompile it using VS2010 (thanks to the multi-framework functionality), or a specific .NET 2.0 compiler (VS2005, CSC2, ...) I don't know how many C# programmers out there need .NET 2.0 support, and how many of those ones know this issue and/or how to workaround it. Maybe, if .NET 2.0 support shall fall, it would be better to leave a message on the provider's download page to explain the necessary steps to have a full-operative provider in .NET 2.0 environment. Or... since the solution will be switched to VS2010, the simplest way would be to continue releasing the libraries compiled in the different environments ;) Luigi. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4741 (20100104) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Firebird-net-provider mailing list Firebird-net-provider@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-net-provider
