I am trying to do something like this:
Public Sub (ByVal boolTest As Boolean)
Dim objConnecton As System.Data.Common.DbConnection
Try
If boolTest Then
objConnecton = New SqlConnection
Else
objConnecton = New OracleConnection
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
'Cleanup here
End Try
This works with version 2.112.1.0, Oracle.DataAccess, but not with version 10.2.0.100. With version 10.2.0.100, I get the following compilation error:
"A value of type" Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection "cannot be converted to" System.Data.Common.DbConnection "
I am trying to initialize a connection object with an instance of SQLConnection or OracleConnection depending on the boolean value.
Why am I getting this error?
