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.

Hi Bill,

When we attempted to do some

1.1, the Oracle access problem whent away, however, we can no longer
use the VS Designer.

Why not upgrade to VS2003 !? It is only about 30$.

VS2002 can not deal with .NET 1.1!
The only solution is to use VS2003.
(or some other free IDEs)

The problem is that my company does not want to make the expense with 2005
coming out soon. Sad but true and I am left needing to make this work. Any
real suggestions?

What is "soon" !?

Except for working with 2003 or with SharpDevelop, no.

Soon is a relative term for my management. I have told them that we need to
upgrade to 2003 and they may be willing to listen but actually buy it is
another story. Thank you for the reply. I wish you had a solution for us,
and I was pretty sure you would not. Thanks anyway.

Define "problems" and "can no longer use"

Do you get specific error messages?
