Hi everyone,
I am developing a ASP.NET application (Framework 1.1) and since migration from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server I have following problem:

Every now and then I get following exception: Exception: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException Message: No error information available: E_UNEXPECTED(0x8000FFFF). at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.ProcessResults(Int32 hr) at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.InitializeProvider() at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.Open()

after receiving this exception the whole application hangs and has to be restarted. There is no way to open the connection to the DB until restart.

connection string: Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=mydb;pool=true;User ID=MYSCHEMA;Password=mypass

did anyone have similar problem already ? Does anyone have any ideas ?

thanks in advance Received on Wed Oct 10 2007 - 09:44:38 CDT
