Afternoon All,
I've recently been impressed by the oracle tools for .NET plugin for visual studio 2008/2005. At the same time, the oracle offering (SQL Developer) hasn't been well received by our oracle guys.

Because cost is a factor, I've tried to install the oracle developer tools on a free visual studio 2008 express edition (the c# one). As luck would have it (or not!), the oracle installer doesn't recognise the express edition of visual studio!

There are several other visual studio express flavours, does anyone know if I'd have any joy looking at these?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave.

P.S. Version of visual studio included service pack 1, oracle tools we in the ODTwithODAC1110621 download. Received on Wed Sep 17 2008 - 16:18:56 CEST
