Hi
I am using vs2005 with oradirect 3.55.16.0. When I try to create a new datasource in the design environment I get a package load failure error.

I have tried the hotfix mentioned here:
http://www.crlab.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8486
however this doesnt work as I still get the same error.

I also tried changing 3.50 to 3.55 in the reg file, to no avail, and also rebooting my entire machine.

Please advise.
Kevin

Try to use the latest version of OraDirect .NET.
This problem should be absent in it.

thanks Alexey, I'll give it a go.

Not at all.

Hi
I have downloaded 3.55.19 and this error is still happening. When 3.55.16 was uninstalled it complained about not being able to interact with Visual Studio 8 (or something like that, I didn't do it), but continued anyway.

I have installed the drivers into the default location and also copied them into a directory we have containing all our dlls. My project references the copy in this folder.

I really need this to work as I need to create a data source of a large table.
Thanks
Kevin

Try to run "devenv /setup" and "devenv /resetskippkgs" commands.

wahoo! That worked, thanks a million for your prompt reply.

You're welcome:)

hmmm, how do I create a datasource from a procedure that exists within a package?

When I select new datasource, I create the connection and then it gives me the choice between creating a datasource from tables, views, stored procs and functions, but no packages. I am guessing that this is because it is designed with SQL server in mind, which has no notion of packages.

I know there is the package wizard, but what I am trying to do is create a datasource from a package procedure that returns an oracle cursor. Is this possible?

apparently it isnt really possible:

bloody microsoft.

We are working on this problem, actually. Hopefully, this functionality will be implemented in the release of OraDirect .NET 4.0.
P.S. Please create a new thread for a new problem next time.
