NODBC with Visual Studio 2005

Mickael

Hi everyone


I'm trying to create a Data Source in Visual Studio 2005 in order to include it in a DataGridView.

I can create a Data Connection to Navision with NODBC, and explore it :!:

But when I choose this connection to make a Data Source, it asks me if I want to save the connection string ...

Then next ... and I get this :

An error occured while retrieving the information from the database :

Un élément avec la même clé a déjà été ajouté.

The phrase in french signify that "an element with the same key has already been added".

I really don't know what to do ...

Thanks in advance, if you have any suggestions

If you are using a NOBDC from 4.0 Version and the database is created using the 3.70 version, it's not possible to connect

Mickael

What can I do then :?:

nunomaia

In Navision client discover the version, than make download in the partnersource of the correct NOBDC version

Mickael

Version FR 4.0 (4.0)

Information from the "About ..." section.

nunomaia

Now Download the NOBDC driver for nav 4.0 from partnersource

I'm a student in training period for a partner's customer.

I don't think we can access here and our "partner" didn't give us any access to CustomerSource.

What can I do :?: :?

I've already contact the partner, and I'm trying to get some informations ...

Not easy in fact.


PS : as a student, how can you learn some on Navision / NAV / Dynamics content as you can for Visual Studio :?:

Edit : for Students easiness, I mean free licences, some tutorials etc. :P

There isn’t something as free licensees for NAV. Only partners (it’s free) and customers that have paid for the development license and use development licenses

There isn’t much free documentation, there are only the training materials, I think that aren’t free.

The NOBDC, normally is in the NAV installation CD.

Then I going to see if my school is or can be a Microsoft Partner

Cause I'm not sure I will create my own firm right now :-k

For NODBC, I've been allready using this driver.

I have installed it from a the CD menu.

I'm going to install it all, from the begining, on a Virtual Server, at home
