ADO.NET connect string for Oracle 11g Express Edition

Question

I am trying to connect to a database on Oracle 11g Expres Edition. The following connect string is not working:

<br />
<add name="NCMS_ORACLE_CONNECTIONSTRING" connectionString="Data Source=127.0.0.1;Database=MYDB1;User Id=USER1;Password=PWD1;" providerName="System.Data.OracleClient"/><br />

All the above parameters are correct and I can use them to login from the web interface.

I was using the same setup earlier with Oracle 10g XE, but with 11g XE there is a new setup like WORKSPACE. So, I created my database workspace called MYDB1 and created all the tables in that.

Please help...

Defining simply IP address isn't enough for Oracle. You have to define a name that is defined in your TNSNAMES.ORA description file. Typically in XE installatoins this is simply XE
