740597Dec 21 2009 — edited Dec 28 2009

Hello,
Please help me out here. I am connecting from Visual Studio 2008 to Oracle 10g Express Edition and the I have installed the ODAC 11 and the ODP.NET as well for Visual Studio(Both include Oracle Developer tools). But whenever I tried to connect from my Visual Studio 2008 server explorer so that I can have the database and its object there, I do get this error : "ORA-12560 : TNS: protocol adapter error."

The following is what I specified in my connection box:

DataSource Name: (Local Database)
Username : HR
Password: the password for it.

My OS is : Windows Vista Ultimate.

Please anyone who has solved such error should just help out here.

Thanks all
