Hi All,

I know this question has been asked a numerous times in many places with solutions like granting folder permission. But searching through net and applying the solution does not work for me. And the error keeps on coming. Kindly help as I am unable to detect what can be the reason for this.

It works well when debugging the project but throwing error after project is being deployed I am using oracle client 9.2.0 with visual studio 2010 ultimate on windows xp sp3. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

but throwing error
Assuming you are referring to the title of your question, it seems clear that you have some missing software element.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your reply. But I am using oracle client 9.2.0 which is greater than 8.1.7. Still it is saying to use something else. And debugging is fine.

Hi All,

I downloaded and installed ODTwithODAC1110720 from Oracle site.
Added the reference Oracle.DataAccess and in code added imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client and Oracle.DataAccess.Types and changed connection string syntax -

SQL

"Data Source=data source name; User Id=username; Password=password"

Now, it's working.
So it's really not giving folder permission but something more than that.

Thanks for support!!
