ADO.NET Provider not registered

Hello all.

Deploying an application using a Setup Project, it didn't registered CoreLab's dll. Using the method

System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactoryClasses(),

does not return it.
Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using OraDirect_oranet470pro2.

Your environment should be informed about the existence of the provider factory to make the above method to work. The provider factory is described either in machine.config (globally) or in app.config (just for your application), but not in both files. Assuming that you use OraDirect .NET, this is done as follows:

Code: Select all

Replace 4.70.38.0 here with your actual version. You can find your current version in the Tools | Oracle | About menu of Visual Studio.

Great it works!
But...
I use this component within an application that has a setup.
How am I suppose to add this on installation process?

If your application is the *.exe file, please put this entry to the *.exe.config file, and place this file in the directory where *.exe resides. If your application is class library, put the mentioned entry to global (machine.config) file. If your application is a web site (web application), put this entry to its web.config file.
