Hello,

I have Visual C# Express 2005 and Oracle 10g installed. After some
problems with different versions of Oracle including a restoring of a
system restore-point I now have the following problem: When I try to add
a data source to my project I can only select Access-File via OLEDB or
Local MSSQL Server file via .NET provider. As far as I know there should
also be an Oracle and an ODBC Provider available, but they are missing.
I tried to install everything new including the NET-2.0-framework, but
still the same problem. Somewhere I read, that in the machine.config
file the available providers are listed, but there are all 4 present.
Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks in advance
Sascha
 
My personal advice is to pull down the ODP.NET project from Oracle. You will
not get the drag and drop ability, but it is a much better package for
Oracle access. I believe the Oracle bits are missing from the free version,
at least in the drag and drop bits; if so (have not checked as I am not
working Oracle now and have VS team suite), you will have to hand code or
move up.
