Currently I am using the trail version of OraDirect .NET (purchasing process for the professional edition has been already started)
I used OraDirect .NET 4.60 with VS 2008 and used it together with ADO.NET Entity Framework beta 3 - the OraDirect .NET provider could be choosen in the EDM-Wizard/"Update from Database Dialog". Everything was OK.
After upgrading to 4.70, the OraDirect .NET provider disappeared. I also upgraded to VS 2008 SP1 beta 1 (with .NET 3.5 SP1 beta), but I can't still find the OraDirect .NET provider. I de-installed, re-installed and so on, but no OraDirect .NET provider is available in the EDM Wizard. Thus I cannot use ADO.NET Entity Framework now
This problem is only related to the "Model Browser" of the ADO .NET Entity Framework, I find the OraDirect .NET provider for example for "classic" ADO.NET usages.
OS: Vista Ultimate, Visual Studio 2008 Prof (with and without SP1 beta1), .NET Framework 3.5 (and SP1 beta1), Oracle 10 Enterprise
OraDirect .NET provider disapeared after upgrade to 4.70

Hello,
First of all make sure EF beta 3 (plus EF beta 3 tools) have been uninstalled.
In the new build of OraDirect .NET a stand-alone EDM wizard has been recalled.
Instead you should use standard MS Visual Studio 2008 build-in EDM wizard.
To get started please follow this guide line:
- go to Solution Explorer;
- right click on the project Add -> New Item;
- in the dialog box choose “ADO.NET Entity Data Model”;
- select “Generate from database”;
- create a “New Connection”;
- in the Change Data Source dialog select “Oracle Database”;
- make sure Data provider property is set to: OraDirect .NET;
- continue through out the wizard steps.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alexey.
