Problem with OracleClient namespace

[burak]

Hello,

I want to use the OracleConnection, OracleCommand,
and OracleDataReader classes, so I included the
following namespaces in my code.

<%@ import namespace="System"%>
<%@ import namespace="System.Data"%>
<%@ import namespace="System.Data.OracleClient"%>

When I ran the page, it came back with the following
error

"BC30002: Type OracleConnection is not defined"

I researched it on the internet and found I had to
explicitly include the reference in the project. Isaw
that I did not have System.Data.OracleClient.dll
installed, so I downloaded it from the net.

I then added the reference to my project but I am
still getting the same error.

"error BC30466: Namespace or type OracleClient for
the Imports System.Data.OracleClient cannot be
found."

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Burak

Where did you get the System.Data.OracleClient.dll ?

You can use System.Data.OleDb instead.

OracleClient.dll is the data provider for Oracle, which was made by Oracle themselves I believe (if not then they probably ripped it from the mono project).

In any case, MSDN has documentation on it and its in version 1.1 of the .NET framework.

If you dont have 1.1 you can download it from the Oracle site (you need a login name and all that jazz though)
