Hi,
I want to connect my WPF application created in 3.5 framework(VS2008) with oracle database without oracle client present in my machine.
I don't want to use service to connect. Please let me know the way to connect.

What I have tried:

I have tried ODP.Net DLL created in Visual studio 2013 and tried to add in visual studio 2005 but it was not supporting to framework 3.5. I have tried with oracle instant but in that we have to change system environment variable which I don't want

Now that @digmanus agrees with me I'll post this as a solution.

Use an OleDB connection.

Some reference links in case you need them:
Oracle Provider for OLE DB Connection Strings - ConnectionStrings.com[^] or Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle Connection Strings - ConnectionStrings.com[^]
Oracle OleDB developer's guide[^] (apologies if you need an Oracle account for that last link - it's free anyway)
