Location of OracleClient.dll

I'm trying to use the OracleClient provider in my asp.net
pages, but the namespace only seems to be available if I
put a copy of the System.Data.OracleClient.dll file in the
\bin directory of my web application.

Is there something I should be doing to my server
configuration to have this namespace show up automatically
without having to physically put a copy of the DLL in the
\bin directory?

I'm using .net 1.1.

Thanks!

Hi David,

You have to add reference to System.Data.OracleClient.dll (right click on
reference within Solution Explorer, Add References...)
 
Hi Miha,

But what if he uses Web Matrix? Where do you want to include a reference?

The Ms oracle client dll should be part of the .NET Framework 1.1 so an
import stament should be enough - but if not the only solution that comes to
my mind would be putting it in the bin directory.

regards,
peter

I am not familiar with Web Matrix but I am sure it has somewhere the
abbility to set/unset references to various assemblies.

It is a part of framework 1.1 and it happily resides in GAC. It is just not
referenced by default.
As a matter of fact, there are only few assemblies referenced by default (in
VS.NET and probably also in web matrix).
Once you've added reference to the assembly then you can import its
namespaces(s).
 
Everyone seems to know how to do this in VS.Net.... I've spent about 5 days now and nobody seems to know how to do this without using VS???? ANYWHERE ONLINE??? This is crazy! I'M going crazy!!

Jason, I am not sure whether this is what you are looking for, but if you
want to reference a dll without using Visual Studio all you have to do is
specify the reference compiler option at compile time.

so if I have a test.cs that uses Oracle I would compile this from the
command like this:
csc /r:System.Data.OracleClient.dll test.cs

Does this help?
