Hi Patrick,

I am getting the same unhandled exception "Invalid Object Name message" in the sample app and I am using a known valid connection string. I am not so sure the connection string is your problem. I wonder if anybody else has been able to run the sample app right out of the box without changing anything except the connection string to something valid for them. All I have to do is add the password to it.

>I recently installed the new 6/13/2008 release of MM.NET. I changed the App.config files in both the Business object project and the windows forms project and copied the connection string straight from the properties of the Server Explorer | Data Connection in Visual Studio 2008.
>Whenever I try to run the sample app, I get a SQL client error. From the stack (below) it looks to me that there is a problem somewhere in that I am using a named instance of SQL Server. Please note that "Server" line near the top of the call stack shows two backslashes:

> Server="DIS-PMCDERMOTT2\\PMCDDEV"
>
>Here's my connection string from the App.config:
>"Data Source=DIS-PMCDERMOTT2\PMCDDEV;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Integrated Security=True" (Only one backslash)

>My suspicion is this is an issue with a missing escape character for C# somewhere that is not liking the backslash in a named instance SQL name.
