I made c# asp.net web applciation with oracle 10g database using visual studio 2008. It works fine with local environment. After I published on my web server and received the following error:

*Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=10.2.0.100, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. *

I put Oracle.DataAccess.dll directly into my application bin and add reference from bin and publish the apps. I received the following error:

*Unable to load DLL 'OraOps10.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) *

I put OraOps10.dill into my application bin and tried to add reference but visual studio didn't allow to add it.

A reference to OraOps10.dll could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

I researched a lot about this issue and get confused.
Do I have to install whole oracle client into my web server in order to run my application on the web?

I appliciate
p.s. I am using free asp.net web hosting service and I cannot install oracle client on the server.

I would appreciate if anyone can help me.

Do I have to install whole oracle client into my web server in order to run my application on the web?

Yes. I don't think just copying assemblies will work.

Thank you for your reply.I will check with other package plan or look for new hosting service who already has oracle client installed. What only I wanted to do was to try if I can connect my home db from my web apps. If anybody know non expensive hosting service, please give me the the name.

Thank you.
