ODBC

I think you are referencing a older name space.

My guess is that you are using Framework 1.0 with ODBC .NET provider installed seperately. The ODBC seperate install for framework 1.0 uses a Microsoft.Data.Odbc. ODBC .Net comes bundled with Framework 1.1, and microsoft decided to change its name space to System.Data.Odbc

See http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10068

I suggest you update your computer to framework 1.1 and change your code to reference System.Data.Odbc

I created a my own util.dll using following procedures.
I ran ODBC Installation setup on my machine and add the refference as "c:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Odbc.Net\Microsoft.Data.Ddbc.dll" to the project. Then I inserted following line in my class.Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports Microsoft.Data.ODBC
All working fine when i used util.dll in other projects. But this is not working after I hosted on this website instead I am getting following error msgs.
