Body
I have an existing ASP.NET app which is configured to connect to a MS SQL Server database and I am trying to modify it to use a postgres database instead. I would like to avoid modifying the C# code, if possible. I expected that the following changes would be sufficient: <ol> <li>Add a reference to a suitable postgres driver, in this case <code>NauckIT.PostgreSQLProvider.dll</code></li> <li>Add a <code>provider</code> tag to specify the driver to use, in this case:</li> </ol> <pre> <connectionStrings> <add name="default" connectionString="Server=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;User Id=finnw;Password=XXX;Database=default;Pooling=false" providerName="Npgsql" /> </connectionStrings> </pre> But the <code>providerName</code> tag seems to have no effect (although it does not in itself generate an error.) Instead I still see this error message in the browser: <pre><code>[ArgumentException: Keyword not supported: 'port'.] System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions.ParseInternal(Hashtable parsetable, String connectionString, Boolean buildChain, Hashtable synonyms, Boolean firstKey) +4907604 System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions..ctor(String connectionString, Hashtable synonyms, Boolean useOdbcRules) +98 System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionString..ctor(String connectionString) +55 </code></pre> It looks as though it is still trying to use the MS SQL Server driver. How do I persuade it not to? I am using ASP.NET Development Server, not IIS. Initially I thought this might be the problem but <a href="http://pgfoundry.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1912&forum_id=518" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this forum post</a> suggests otherwise.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
