Hi,

I am learning C# at the moment having previously developed mostly in
Delhpi and VB.

What I would like to know is where can i find a really good article on
the net (or even in a book) which teaches you how to use C# to connect
to Oracle databases. Something that discusses the pros and cons of the
different ways to connect to the database such as OCI and ADO.
Something which maybe gives some examples of how to create a simple
interface through which you can browse records in a dataset.

I have managed to connect to Oracle using the OCI but i found the
documentation assumes that you are already familiar with C# and
Oracle.

If there is nothing out there then i will try and put something out
there myself once i know a little more about it.

Cheers,

Mike

Mike, are you using the Oracle .NET Provider? There are numerous samples


matter, since the data classes for SQL-Server and Oracle correspond
pretty well.

Oracle .NET Provider is here:

Tom,

Thanks for the info. I was using the OCI interface but i will have a
look at the Oracle .Net Provider.

I did notice that most articels seem to be baised towards SQL Server
whcih doesn't surprise me really. I did realise that alot of posting
to newsgroups about Oracle and C# are fairly advanced questions so i
thought that someone somewhere would know of a nice gentle beginners
site.

Well I will have a read of the docs which accompany the Oracle .Net
provider and then maybe i will be able to put something together
myself and post it on the net.

Thanks once again Tom.

Cheers,

Mike
