In the previous version of Visual Studio, one had to download the .Net data provider for ODBC. Is that still the case for VS 2005 I haven't been able to find documentation concerning that...the ODBC connection class documentation mentions the data provider, but doesn't say of it is the .net version or not....

Nope. Still keeps asking for Oracle client... :(

The Oracle client is not included with the .NET Framework. This is Oracle software.

The odbc provider is included in the frameworks in VS 2005. No special download needed.

Just to clarify this thread, there is an ADO.NET data provider included with VS2005, in the namespace System.Data.OracleClient. However, it also requires the Oracle client software, version 8i release 3 or greater. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2d7h4ycx.aspx for more info.
