Using ODBC Connections in ExternalAutofillKeysetEventArgs

[Philip_Templeto]

I am trying to open a connection in my External Autofill script.  Is this allowed?  I have successfully used the following code in other scripts  however when trying to run this in this context it gets skipped over:

using (OdbcConnection dbConnection = app.Configuration.GetConnection("OnBaseTest") as OdbcConnection)
{
app.Diagnostics.WriteIf( Diagnostics.DiagnosticsLevel.Verbose, string.Format( "Starting DB Connection") );
try
{
dbConnection.Open( );

Thanks for the assist!

Hi! Phil,

Opening a ODBC connection in external Autofill script should work and External Autofill script gets executed at server side.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hello Jason,

Ok, i really need to hang my head in shame on this one.  I didn't set the diagnostic level so my writes weren't being written.

Thanks,
Phil
