DBNAME = (DESCRIPTIOMN= (ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=113.114.2.145)(PORT=1521)) (CONNECT_DATA=SERVICE_NAME=dbname)) In this file i want to read exactly "service_name = dbname". How to do it in C#. Any one could you help me please? kesavan

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
