ODP.NET, Managed Driver missing in ADO.NET Entity Data Model Wizard for Visual Studio 2022 v17.10.1

Brenton PughJun 19 2024 — edited Jun 25 2024

We are moving away from a very old version of Devart dotConnect for a legacy .NET Framework web application. We were wanting to move to using an .edmx file instead of the .edml produced by Devart, this way we could hopefully use the existing LINQ queries that already exist.

However, when using the ADO.NET Entity Data Model wizard to create one, we are not seeing the ODP.NET, Managed Driver in the drop down as shown. We have installed the Oracle developer tools for VS 2022 and the EntityFramework, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess, and Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework NuGet packages. One strange thing is that we do see this provider when using the Server Explorer and creating a database connection here for the database.

Using versions

Visual Studio 2022: 17.10.1

EF: 6.0.0

Oracle.ManagedDataAccess: 21.12.0
