I've attached the .dll files I'm using

Thanks!

Hello,

Please clarify which version of Oracle do you use?
Under x64 you need use x64 Oracle client.

Thank you.

OK, it worked with a 64 client but now I have trouble using the mrt-file in my WinForms C#-project.

I created a new report-file and connected it with ODP to an Oracle table. Preview went fine but I tried to load the file from my application and it gave me this error:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

I've attached both the report.mrt and the scripts to create the table and fill it with some data.

Hello,

Can you please describe your issue in more details.
Can you please show us your code for load and show report in your application.
Also please check that the OracleODPDatabase adapter added to reference of your project and in service: Thank you.

I've attached the project and it is using the report attached in previous post. I've managed to get it work for 64-bit but not with a 32-bit provider.

The problem is that I'm developing on a 64-bit Windows 7 but I wan't to be able to deploy the software in various environments (both 64 and 32-bit). How can this be done?

Hello,

Also please send your .mrt file for analysis.

Thank you.

It's the same mrt file as before. I've created a mrt-file with a 64-bit ODP-provider but since I load it into a 32-bit application I thought it could work. Do I have to create two different files? How can I create a mrt-file that works with a 32-bit ODP-provider on a 64-bit Windows.

Hello,

According to the idea the x64 client version is required if you are using the application compiled with a compiler directive "x64". Try to compile your application with directive "x32" or "any cpu".
Also you are using in your code the following line: This is not true. In this case, you must use the following code to change the connection string: Thank you.

Sorry. It was my stupid mistake. I had the x86 configuration targetting the x64-platform. It's all working perfectly now. Thanks!
