Informix .Net 2.0 driver
Posted in 2007
Guys- I installed CSDK 3.0 with the .Net 2.0 driver on my PC (XP Service Pack 2, M$ Visual Studio 2005) and everything seems to work fine. The Informix native driver works and everything is happy. I installed it on an associate's computer (also XP Service Pack 2, M$ Visual Studio 2005) and we get an error message every time it tries to access the native driver as in this sample program: 'The Informix native client (C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\Informix\\Client-SDK\\bin\\netf20\\IBM.Data.Informix) was added as a reference to this project. Imports IBM.Data.Informix Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim thisIfxConn As New IfxConnection() End Sub Note that all it does is initialize the driver. No open action or anything else. The program dies right there with this error: System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled Message="The type initializer for 'IBM.Data.Informix.IfxConnection' threw an exception." The "Inner Exception" is this: {"DELIMIDENT - no error information available"} Delimident is not set on either computer. We tried rerunning the installation to so a "repair" of the driver with no change in outcome. I didn't find any reference to driver errors in the .Net manual and the installation manual only covers a failed install. I am calling support, but I thought someone may have run into this before.
