Hi,

The issue is am running visual studio 2013 i am trying to connect to oracle 11g 64 bit.
while trying to establish connection it throws error saying BadImageFormatException.

This issue is resolved by installing the latest odp.net tools with odac.

Visual studio is a 32 bit program and can therefore not use a 64 bit Oracle Client.
When you installed the odp.net tools you got the 32 bit version of the Oracle client software.
