How to Connect to Oracle in VCS?
Hi,
In Visual Web Developer when you use the database explorer tool you can connect to an Oracle database. However in Visual C# Express there are only two options for the data providers - SQL Server and MS Access.
How can I connect to an Oracle database in Visual C# Express?
Thanks,
Richard

Is the database local, becuase the VCE system can only connect to a local database, Maybe if the oracle system is local the DB Provider will show.

It does seem a little odd, but there is a good reason for it. For web applications, the web hoster often does not allow the database to be stored on the same machine as the web server. This would make local data a very limiting option for web applications. On the other hand, the hosting scenario doesn't come into play for windows client applications, so the local data model allows us to streamline the tool more in this area.
