ODP.NET Managed Drivers, TNSNAMES.ORA issue

15a93d66-1f3b-4a63-983e-ec56178768bcJan 6 2016 — edited Jan 6 2016

So my company is using Oracle 11g.  I have the full client installed.

In C:\Apps\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN they have the tnsnames.ora file, but in there they reference a file on a shared drive:

ifile=//sdmda02\tgroups\d\dba\ES_Tnsnames\TNSNAMES.ORA

When I try to use this driver in visual studio to connect to oracle, it wont parse the names out.  What do I do?
