Every piece of information I've found has pointed me to use an OracleConnection object, and yet, no one tells me how to actually GET the oracle connection object -.-; it did one a single site, and I d/led it and installed it, but it STILL can't find the namespace. I have a general connection going on, but it can't connect (and every connectionstring example I've found on the internet and around the office doesn't work).
Apparently Provider isn't a valid key thing, neither is Data Provider, or any of the other myriad of things out there. I don't have oracle installed on my machine (trying to connect to a remote database) could that be the problem? Here's the string that I'm using right now (the one that actually attempts to execute...): Data Source=<TNS name>;User Id=<username>;Password=<password>;
