Question
-
Hi All,
I am using the following code
public void ConnectToService(string connection_string) { Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CrmConnection connection = CrmConnection.Parse(Settings.Default.Conn); _orgService = new OrganizationService(connection); }
And am getting the following error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Data.dll
Additional information: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 182.My connection string that i use is (including quotes):
"Server=iviewtest.**********,organization=iviewtest,user=CRMInteractiveWS@**********" connectionString="Url=https://iviewtest.**********/;Username=CRMInteractiveWS;Password=********;"
Any ideas?
Regards,
Ben

Hi All,
Thanks for you replies. i have eventually resolved the connection issue.
Now i am troubled with the following error:
[17672] Connected To Service
[17672] Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://iviewtest.rhp.org.uk/, Username=******, Password=*******,/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl'.
We are calling the service from a windows service. I have changed the service account that it runs under, but still get this lovely error.
Any idea?
Regards,
Ben
