Re: Managed provider for Oracle

No. Visual Studio Server Explorer is hardcoded to use OLE DB (hence, any OLE DB data source). It is also special-cased to, when you select the SQL Server OLE DB provider, use the SqlClient data provider instead (in most wizards). You can also use Server Explorer to explore (only explore) an ODBC data source, but you can't use any of the wizards with an Odbc data source and the Odbc data provider.

The Oracle data provider should not even work with beta2. You'll need to install the production release of .NET to use it.

Hope this helps,
