oracle 8 and dot net

[Guest]

I am using the native client of oracle through the System.Data.OraClient .
Find gives to the following error “Unable to find an entry point named
ocienvcreate in dll oci.dll†when I execute the Open method of the
OracleConnection object. I believe that it must of being by some problem in
the client of oracle installed, because from the explorer of servants I see
all the scheme of the data base oracle.
The oracle client version is 8.0.5
Somebody can help me?. Thanks.

Your client isn't supported: from the docs (.NET framework developers
guide -> .NET framework data providers)
"The .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle enables data access to
Oracle data sources through Oracle client connectivity software. The
data provider supports Oracle client software version 8.1.7 and later. "

It's my understanding you can use the 8i client (which is hte 8.1.7
version) with 8.0
