    You need to install an Oracle client on that machine. Commented Nov 15, 2011 at 10:20

The .net Oracle library is a middleware between your application and the oracle client which has to be installed before you can start working with Oracle.

You might be interested ODP.net as an alternative to System.Data.OracleClient as it is supported by Oracle and ships with a lightweight client (Instant client).

hi it resolved my error but i got another error ORA-12154: TNS:could not be resolved the connect identifier specified
If you want to use TNS, you'll need to add a tnsnames.ora file in your network/config folder, otherwise you can use EZConnect which does not require any configuration
Is your connection string using tnsnames?
hi i debugged that error. i missed data connection at ADO.net creation at step 4. i refered below article . oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/dotnet/… help me pls
