I'm using VS.Net 2002 and have downloaded and installed the 1.1 framework
(redistributable & sdk) but VS says the namespace cannot be found. Any
Ideas?
 
Hi dm_dal,

odbc was a separate download from the ms site (try
msdn.microsoft.com/downloads). It was preinstalled in vs.net 2003.

HTH,
 
Thanks Greg for your reply.

Hi dm_dal,

I'd like to give some additional information on this issue. VS.Net 2002
builds an assembly on the .net framework 1.0 by default. Although you can
target a .NET Framework Version in the app.config file, it is only
redirected at runtime. So I suggest you use VS.Net 2002 with .net framework
1.0 or VS.Net 2003 with .net framework 1.1. Any error when using VS.Net
2002 with .net framework 1.1 might not be supported.

Please refer to the following address for more information on targeting a
..NET Framework Version:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/htm
l/cpcontargetingnetframeworkversion.asp

As Greg mentioned in his last post, ODBC .net provider in .net framework
1.0 is a separate download. You can download it from the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6ccd8427-1017-4f33-
a062-d165078e32b1&DisplayLang=en

The name space for ODBC in .net framework 1.0 is Microsoft.Data.ODBC, while
in .net framework 1.1 is System.Data.ODBC.

If anything is unclear, please feel free to reply to the post.

Thanks,
I did some research last night and found out that the .net framework 1.1 was
not supported in VS .net 2002. I upgraded to VS .net 2003 and all is well.
