UPDATE : Thomas Burkhart sent me a mail telling me that this configuration syntax doesn't work on ms.net 2.0. This is the version which works: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <configuration> <system.data> <DbProviderFactories> <add name="Npgsql Data Provider" invariant="Npgsql" support="FF" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Postgresql Server" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d8b90d52f46fda7" /> </DbProviderFactories> </system.data> </configuration> Thomas said that "the tags are case sensitive and the must be outside any <applicationSettings>" Thank you Thomas for your feedback which, for sure will help others to get their configuration up and running. I will check with Mono guys to see why my original configuration worked. Hi all! Today I committed an initial support for...

Hi all, We already started to work on Npgsql2 with support for .net 2.0 and ado.net 2.0. Josh Cooley already refactored all Npgsql classes to extend from .net 2.0 classes, like DbCommand, DbConnection and others. We hope to have a preview release soon with some long awaited features like Provider Factory support, design time in vs.net 2005 and others. Stay tuned!

Hi all! I'm really happy to announce that Npgsql Team has released Npgsql 1.0 final! I started to work on Npgsql 4 years ago, just after I finished my CS graduation course. What motivated me was the possibility to implement a network communication protocol and to have something done to community. I'm a big fan of OpenSource philosophy, better, I'm passionate about OpenSource and community, and realized I didn't return anything to it up to now. Besides that, I wanted to make part of it. So, I started sending a message to postgresql mailling list asking if there was something about that being worked on. I received some replies about nothing being done yet and one saying that a p/invoke based proof of concept was tested. I wanted to implement postgresql communication protocol so I started to work on it. Some time later, I sent another message talking about project launch. At that time, Dave Page, from pgAdmin, jumped the wagon and started to help me get project going. I ...

Hi all, These past 10 days, Josh Cooley fixed and helped to fix a lot of critical bugs on Npgsql! Here are they: Josh Cooley fixed a bug when dealing with concurrent connection establishment using Npgsql RC2. When I implemented ConnectionTimeout support for connection establishment, I was incorrectly using an instance variable with a singleton object :( This was leading to some nasty problems like this . Here is the relevant stack trace: Npgsql.NpgsqlException: Operation not allowed on non-connected sockets. at Npgsql.NpgsqlClosedState.Open(NpgsqlConnector context) at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnector.Open() at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnectorPool.GetNonPooledConnector(NpgsqlConnection Connection) at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnectorPool.RequestConnector(NpgsqlConnection Connection) at Npgsql.NpgsqlConnection.Open() Another problem, this time with async notification support, was that Npgsql wasn't handling correctly the notification message sent from server when async notification was off. This was le...
