Oracle Client and .NET

Hello All,

I have oracle 9i on a windows XP machine.

I am trying to use ASP .NET and want to connect to oracle 9i through a C# based web-applicaton(Version - .NET Framework 2, or 2005)

When I try to execute code, I am getting error message that - Oracle Client is of older version(some 8.1....) And Its asking me to install latest version of oracle client!!!

Is this problem with .NET

Is this a valid error message - I mean shall I go forward and install new version of Oracle Client? If yes, how to install just new oracle client on old existing oracle client and server(I want to keep my old oracle database)???

Or if this error message is caused due to some other reasons(other than oracle client version), what is the solution?

Pl write.

Thanks in advance

what driver do you use? is it oracle odbc?

Oracle client 8i doesn't work well with 9i - 9i uses new character sets, etc.
So the best solution is to install 9i components on the client machine - client, odbc
