Hi.
I'm new working with MTS and I have a problem.
I wrote the next code for a method of my MTS component in VB 6.0:
Public Function Validate_User(cn1 As Object) As Boolean
Validate_User = False
gsSqlStm = "Select * from table1"
Set mrsValidaUsuario = New ADODB.Recordset
mrsValidaUsuario.CursorType = adOpenForwardOnly
mrsValidaUsuario.Open gsSqlStm, cn1
....
....
Then, I tried to use its method on client-side writing the next lines of code:
Dim cn as new ADODB.Connection
cn.ConnectionTimeout = 100
cn.Provider = "sqloledb"
cn.Properties("Data Source").Value = "SERVERNAME"
cn.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = "DBNAME"
cn.Properties("User ID").Value = "sa"
cn.Properties("Password").Value = ""
cn.Open
Dim a As Object
Set a = CreateObject("SBCOMUserMTS.clsUsuario")
Dim b As Boolean
b = a.Validate_User(cn)<<<<<<HERE FAILS
I got a message &quot;authentication service is unknown&quot;
Is It possible to pass as an argument an ADODB.connection?
I know the component fails when it tries to open the ADODB.recordser mrsValidaUsuario
Thanks

Sir,
You must call SafeRef to pass a MTS object. But I cannot test ADO.ADOConnection.
I think it is not necessary to pass ADO.ADOConection as parameter.Because ADO should stay with your MTS components not with client side (thin client ^_^).

I hope you should understand it!

You can pass a disconnected recordset back to client and that's a common strategy; however, I'm not so sure about passing connections!

If the idea is to have your MTS component read a set of records and pass them back to the client (as a recordset) then a disconnected recordset is what you're looking for. [sig][/sig]

im a new mts user, but i pas my connection to the object by setting a property i created in the object on the client to the connection string then using that property with an open in the component method, i used let and get. I think that is what you mean.

Hi.
Yes, it is ok to pass ADODB.Connection as parameter
Try to change your function to Validate_User(cn1 as ADODB.Connection). Notice: without &quot;New&quot;.

In our development we have used a connection string to pass into the client and found that it is simple to use and pass around.

CVM, does passing the ADODB.Connection to the object as a parameter allow the MTS / COM+ services to use the Database connection pooling? Or does the connection just get passed inactive and recreated on the server?
The connection pooling is a great way of tubo-charging your app if it uses DB connections.

Please make the distinction between a connection object and a connection string. [sig]<p> Tarek<br><a href= > </a><br>The more I learn, the more I need to learn![/sig]
