My site is using enterprise library v 5.0. Mainly the DAAB. Some functions such as executescalar, executedataset are working as expected. The problems appear when I start to use Readers
I have this function in my includes class:
Public Function AssignedDepartmentDetail(ByVal Did As Integer) As SqlDataReader
Dim reader As SqlDataReader
Dim Command As SqlCommand = db.GetSqlStringCommand("select seomthing from somewhere where something = @did")
db.AddInParameter(Command, "@did", Data.DbType.Int32, Did)
reader = db.ExecuteReader(Command)
reader.Read()
Return reader
End Function
This is called from my aspx.vb like so:
reader = includes.AssignedDepartmentDetail(Did)
If reader.HasRows Then
TheModule = reader("templatefilename")
PageID = reader("id")
Else
TheModule = "#"
End If
This gives the following error on db.ExecuteReader line:
Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.RefCountingDataReader' to type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader'.
Can anyone shed any light on how I go about getting this working. Will I always run into problems when dealing with readers via entlib?
