From the error you are receiving, you do not have the Oracle client software
installed on your development computer.

What is this oracle client software and where to have it?
Do i need the oracle a software to use ado.net 2.0?

Yes, if you want to operate on an oracle database using ado.net 2.0 (or any
other version) you need an oracle database (on a server) and the oracle
client software on your workstation. Good luck
