It's funny that you get errors from datasets. These are not database specific objects.

SqlClient classes are very close to equivalent OleDb classes (typically Sql classes have more functionality).

If you did the 'conversion' with search and replace, it could be that you have been replacing too much (text in the names etc).

Anyhow, I think that it's best to start from the beginning and just use Find to find the OleDb classes and then manually check each occurrence, how they should be modified. When you start doing this I think you quite quickly find a good search/replace pattern for each class. Then you can do the replacement pre each class.
