Enterprise Library Data Access Block 2.0

[saltcode]

Hi guys, Please help,I am having an issue with data access block connection to the database from my class library project. using the data access block to connect to database works fine in my website project. but i try creating a separate class library project to connect to the database i now receive an error message. "The value can not be null or an empty string." and this is the code: Database motomandb = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase(); DbCommand motomandbCommand = motomandb.GetSqlStringCommand(query); using(DbConnection motomanConnection = motomandb.CreateConnection()) { DbTransaction motomanTransaction = motomanConnection.BeginTransaction(); try { rowsaffected = motomandb.ExecuteNonQuery(motomandbCommand, motomanTransaction); motomanTransaction.Commit(); } catch (Exception e) { motomanTransaction.Rollback(); } } thanks in advance

Where? I'm guessing that it is having problems with the cofiguration file, but without knowing where the error occured it may be somewhere else.

the error occurred here. Database motomandb = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase(); i don't think is the configuration file bcos i connected to the database normally from the web project appcode folder.

You've just extracted this out into its own class library and you are still running it as a web application? Is that right? Have you tried stepping into the Enterprise Library code and seeing where it's failing in there? Actually, it should tell you in the stack trace for the exception exactly where in the Enterprise Library it failed. Can you copy and paste the stack trace here?

Have you included all the relevant DLLs in the references section. Parts of the Enterprise library load dynamically, so Visual Studio is not completely aware of their necessity so it cannot warn you at compile time. You need the DLL that includs this class: Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging.LoggingExceptionHandler The DLL you need is: Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging.dll It can probably be found in the folder: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library January 2006\bin
