Compatibility OraDirect .NET and Enterprise Library

Hi,

I use Microsoft Enterprise Library, version 3.1 (May 2007).

Could you tell me if this version is compatible with OraDirect .NET version 3.55.25 ?

I have read the installed OraDirect .NET Documentation and I would like to know if the "Enterprise Library Data Access Block" page content is still applicable with EntLib 3.1.

My primary use case is to call Oracle 9 stored procedures that can return out parameters or ref cursors.

Thanks
Adriano

Here is some additional info.

I installed EntLib 3.1 then I open my project's web.config file with the Enterprise Library Configuration Tool.

I created a new Provider Mapping as described in the documentation. Then under TypeName (databaseType attribute), I clicked on the "Load an assembly..." button and selected the file "CoreLab.Oracle.EnterpriseLibrary.dll" located in the CoreLab installation "C:\Program Files\CoreLab\OraDirect.NET2\EnterpriseLibrary\Bin\".

The Configuration Tool displayed this error message :

There were no types found in the assembly 'CoreLab.Oracle.EnterpriseLibrary' that implement or inherit from the base type 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Database'.

Does it mean that EntLib 3.1 and OraDirect .NET 3.55 are not compatible?
Does OraDirect .NET 4 works with EntLib 3.1?

Thanks.

Thank you.
I just verified that today by downloading the trial edition of version 4.35 and integrated with EntLib 3.1 (may 07). That works good.
