Hi All,

I am using oracle provider in my VB.NET application.

The connection string value in config file is "user
id=myusername;password=mypwd;data source=myservice;"

I read the connection string from config file and add the provider string in
the front of the string". In my machine the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for
oracle works fine if i am adding the string

str = "provider=MSDAORA;" + str like this (or) str = "provider=MSDAORA.1;"
+ str

The string is hotcoded. Is there any different name for provider in MSDAORA?
In my application i used this but in client place it is not working? what is
the problem? and how to rectify it?

If i use the Oracle provider for OLEDB like as below.
"Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1

it is not working in my machine. but is design time if i binds test
connection succeded.


I attached the connection entries in the following sample code:

Dim str As String =
System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
str = "provider=MSDAORA;" + str
'str = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;" + str
conn = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(str)
conn.Open()
