When I try to connect to Oracle using ASP.NET (from Visual Studio .NET Beta 2), I get the following error:

ORA-12640

Authentication adapter identification failed

However, I am able to connect to Access. What is the problem?

thanks in advance.
 
I don't have Oracle loaded on my .NET machine right now, but:

Are you using the OleDbConnection class, and not the SQLConnection class? The latter is just for MS SQL Server.

Also, have you installed the latest Oracle client software?

And lastly -- I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work -- it's just a beta, after all. The System.Timers class isn't even in there yet.
