Microsoft Visual Studio 2002, Framework 1.1 and Oracle

[Bill]

I have a problem and I need to know if anyone can assist in solving it. Our
database of choice is Oracle. When we attempted to do some VB.NET coding
with .NET 2002 and framework 1.0, whe had problems accessing our Oracle
database correctly. When we upgraded to Framework 1.1, the Oracle access
problem whent away, however, we can no longer use the VS Designer. We must
hand code everything. We do not want this. We want to use .NET as it was
intended. We are using Visual Sudio Enterprise Architect. We were using
Oracle 8i but are in the process of upgrading our databases to 9i. If there
is anyone with any suggestions, please let me know. Also, please feel free
to ask any questions to get more info if you need to. Thanks in advance for
any help.

Hello Bill,

There is a small upgrade cost to upgrade to Visual Studio 2003 that will
work with Framework 1.1

You can also use SharpDevelop which is a fully functional IDE and which
works with Framework 1.1

Good Luck,
--- Nick
