The type or namespace name 'OracleConnection' Could not be found C#

Hello,

In C# you you might have receive a type or namespace missing error like the one below

The type or namespace name 'OracleConnection' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The type or namespace name 'OracleCommand' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The type or namespace name 'OracleDataReader' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)     

This means that c# was unable to find the reference to for the following classes

               OracleConnection conn

               OracleCommand cmd

               OracleDataReader

All these classes are required to connect Oracle with c#

So in order to fix this error we will need to add dll(references) files for these classes.

Download dll from HERE
File is password protected, password is taqi

1. Download the dlls from link provided above

2. Now in C# right click on your project, and than click on Add reference

3. Click on Browse Tab

4. Now add the 3 files which you downloaded above

5. Click ok

Now Your code will compile without the namespace error

I hope it was informative for you and I would like to Thank you for reading.

Thanks
