Getting an exception "Keyword not supported: 'provider'."

[vvenk]

Hello:

I am trying to acccess an Gracle 10g database from within an ASP.NET
application running on a Windows 2003 server.

I have tried both the following connections strings:

"Provider=msdaora;Data Source=MyOracleDB;User Id=UserName;Password=asdasd;"

and

"Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=MyOracleDB;User
Id=Username;Password=asdasd;"

In both cases, I get an exception:

"Keyword not supported: 'provider'."

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hello Venkat,
I work with sql server, but if I use the SQLConnection and set the
"Provider" in the connection string, I get the same error, and all I need to
do is remove the provider from the connection string, since the class
sqlconnection is set to work with sql serve, so if you are using the class
OracleConnection, try to just remove the provider from the connection
string...
