"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" after view selection

881493Sep 5 2011 — edited Jun 4 2012
Hello,

I have a Visual Studio LightSwitch project where I connect to a Oracle server and select a view as a new data source.

I get a error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" after selecting the Oracle view as a data source.

The Visual Studio Log shows me following details in the ActivityLog:

362 End package load [Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package] {8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B} VisualStudio 2011/09/05 12:17:58.258

But this error ORA-12560 does not make any sense, because I have got a working connection to the Oracle server and can see tables and views.

Any ideas?

Environment:
Visual Studio 2010 SP 1
Windows Server 2008 R2
ODAC 11.2.0.2.40 Beta 2 for Entity Framework and LINQ to Entities

Regards
Benjamin
