Lee, it's in the .NET Framework version 1.1. If you already have .NET 1.1,
then you need to -manually- add a reference to the System.Data.OracleClient
namespace. I found that out recently; I was using C# and just trying to put
"using System.Data.OracleClient" at the top of my class file.

In the solution explorer (default is top right of screen in IDE), right
click your project's References branch, and say "Add Reference". Then roll
down the list and add in the OracleClient .NET component.

I am not sure if the 1.0 version is still available for download, but you
can search http://www.microsoft.com/downloads for it. The 1.1 Framework has
the OracleClient. Oracle has their own library, called ODP.NET, which you
can download FREE from http://otn.oracle.com (registration required). I am
not sure if it is compatible with 1.0.
