BUG #: 1138 (SQL Hotfix)



SYMPTOMS
You use the System.Data.OleDb namespace in the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 class library to retrieve data from Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (SQLOLEDB). However, the OledbCommand.ExecuteReader method may intermittently throw an exception in this situation. When this problem occurs, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

System.InvalidOperationException: The ICommandText interface is not supported by the 'SQLOLEDB' provider. Use CommandType.TableDirect instead.
