Hi,

Does anyone successfully use a .Net Data provider for Postgresql? I was
able to find two of them:

- npsgsql open-source driver
- crlab provider (which does not install correctly for me)

Any recommendation?

Thanks

I have been using the npgsql driver on both .NET and Mono for over 6
months now with no problems.

Hi,

Is there a way to install the npgsql driver under Visual Studio so it appears as a set of visual controls we can drop on a form, or is it a code library only?

Npgsql is very good. Francisco on the mailing lists is very helpful.
However you may have to watch timezone issues when using .net. All
timestamps are converted into the local time of the computer querying the
database (seems to be a .Net System.DateTime limitation rather than
anything else).

Hope it goes well.

The Npgsql driver does have windows forms integration, but I do not use
this part or know if it is compatible with VS 2005. Try the
documentation or check the npgsql user list
(npgsql-general@gborg.postgresql.org).

You can manually add the npgsql dll to the toolbar so that you can use
the npgsql ado.net data objects in the same way as ado.net oledb
objects.

To do this right click on the toolbar.
Select Add/Remove Items
Browse to and add the npgsql.dll
Click ok and the npgsql objects will have been added to your toolbar.

Now just drag and drop on the form designer!
