Aha, glad you got it working

Thanks Ben,

Worked like a charm.

I now realise that I created the BO I was having a problem with by copying the one that I was playing around with notifications on.

There is a property called ReceiveQueryNotifications on the business object and if it's set to False, it won't try to register the QueryNotification, thereby removing the SqlDependency creation.  It defaults to False, but it probably got turned on somewhere, so give that a shot.

G'day

I've got a form with 3 devexpress grids, each exposes a strataframe BO (Device, Conversation & Arguments) where Device is the parent of Conversation which is the parent of Arguments. All the Parent child filtering works fine. I've just implemented a method to duplicate the selected Conversation and its child Agruments, providing a new name and new guids to the new rows, and FKs. My problem is that I get an InvalidOperationException as follows:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code

This is occuring when trying to add the child record, on the line:

I've used the same block of code successfully in several other forms (with other BOs), in the same project and don't have this problem.

I believe that SQLDependancy is tied up with Notifications, and I did play around with notifications in another project in this solution, but I have since removed and turned it off. I've checked in SQL Server Management Studio and there are no Notifications.

Anyone with any ideas?
