Hi,

I have a ASP.NET webapplication where I use ODBCConnection to connect a MySQL server, it will take the connectionstring from the web.config file and this works grate.

But when I put the same code in a WPF application and hardcode the same connection string I get the followin exception when runnint ODBCConnection.Open() :

Data source name not found and no default driver specified

I have checked the ODBCConnection orbject and its instansiated with the exact same connectionstring as in the webapplication.

The connection string looks like this :

“DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=X.X.X.X;DATABASE=X;USER=X;PASSWORD=X;OPTION=3”

The X is set to propert values

I am running both from the same computer so the MYSQL ODBC connection is installed correct.

Pleas advice.

BestRegards
