VB.Net and Oracle Provider
445763Oct 5 2011 — edited Oct 11 2011Apparently VS 2008 and 2010 do not support MSDORA.1 in the 64-bit environment, so I need to move the the Oracle Provider. I've downloaded and installed the Oracle 11g provider packages successfully, but am unsure as to how to incoroporate it into the VB connection string. The following is the 32-bit Microsoft provider code:
Public strConnection As String = "Provider=MSDAORA.1;password=xxxx;user id=xxx;data source=xxxxxxx"
Public cnConn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(strconnection)
Public dscmd As New OleDbDataAdapter(strSelect, cnConn)
Public cmdresults As Boolean
Just replacing "MSDAORA.1" with "OraOLEDB" does not work.
[OS is Windows 7 Pro 64x, Visual Studio 2008 and 2010]
Any help for this woud be appreciated.
