Strange problem

[nickp]

I am working on a simple example, however I continue to get the following error upon execution:

PropertyAccessExceptionsException (1 errors); nested PropertyAccessExceptions are: \n[Spring.Objects.MethodInvocationException: Property 'ConnectionString' threw exception., Inner Exception: System.ArgumentException: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.\r\n   at System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions.GetKeyValuePair(String connectionString, Int32 currentPosition, StringBuilder buffer, Boolean useOdbcRules, String& keyname, String& keyvalue)\r\n   at System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions.ParseInternal(Hashtable parsetable, String connectionString, Boolean buildChain, Hashtable synonyms, Boolean firstKey)\r\n   at System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions..ctor(String connectionString, Hashtable synonyms, Boolean useOdbcRules)\r\n   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionString..ctor(String connectionString)\r\n   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionFactory.CreateConnectionOptions(String connectionString, DbConnectionOptions previous)\r\n   at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnectionPoolGroup(String connectionString, DbConnectionPoolGroupOptions poolOptions, DbConnectionOptions& userConnectionOptions)\r\n   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.ConnectionString_Set(String value)\r\n   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.set_ConnectionString(String value)

I get this error when I create an XmlObjectFactory and call GetObject("Database"). This is what my configuration file looks like, any suggestions?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<objects xmlns="http&#58;//www.springframework.net">
	<object name="Database" 
            singleton="false"
            type="SpringDemo.Database, SpringDemo">
		<property name="Connection" ref="SqlConnectionObject" />
		<property name="Command" ref ="SqlCommandObject" />
	</object>
	<object name="SqlConnectionObject" 
			singleton="false" 
			type="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, System.Data">
		<property name="ConnectionString" value ="Testing" />
	</object>
	<object name="SqlCommandObject"
			singleton="false"
			type="System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand, System.Data">
	</object>
</objects>

Hello, I'm not sure but i think the problem is

value ="Testing"

Connection strings have a specified format, you can't set a simple string "Testing", try with a real connection string.

I have actually tried a valid connection string, in fact in the demo I don't even attempt to actually connect yet. Passing an invalid connection string to the ConnectionString property of a SqlConnection should not cause the error I am seeing above.

Actually, according to your stacktrace it looks like it does. Try using valid SqlClient connection string and see what happens.
