LINQPad 6 Oracle Driver Bug: Error: 'Service Name' is an invalid connection string attribute
I'm unable to connect to Oracle using LINQPad 6. I have no problems connecting using LINQPad 5.
Connection String:
Data Source=...
*****; User ID=**********; Password=*****************; Service Name=************
In LINQPad 6, I get the following error:
Error: 'Service Name' is an invalid connection string attribute
Thanks for your help!

Can you post a screenshot of your connection dialog?
Note that the dialog has a textbox for the service name. Are you using this textbox to enter the service name, or doing it some other way?
Hi Joe,
Take a look at the dialog. I tried putting the service name in the service name box, but it doesn't populate my tables when I do so. The only way to make it work is to put in in the extra connection string options, but LINQPad 6 doesn't like that. LINQPad 5 is ok with it and works normally.
BTW, I was able to modify the connection and got it to work. It's using the Service name input box and a different schema name which didn't translate well from version 5. In any case, please don't spend any more time on this as I found a workaround.
Thanks for your help!
I guess I spoke too soon. Now, after making these changes, There's an incompatibility between version 6 and 5. I went and changed the connection from version 5 to include the "Service Name" string and it broke the dialog in version 6. I'm getting an exception on version 6:
System.Exception
The component 'LINQPad.Drivers.EFCore.DynamicEFDialog' does not have a resource identified by the URI 'LINQPad.Drivers.EFCore;V1.0.3.0;component/dynamicfdialog.xaml'.
I'll report the error, but reinstalling version 6 seemed to fix the problem temporarily. In any case, now that version 6 is working, I won't try to load version 5 anymore so it doesn't break things...
