You connect to a database with a provider such as Oracle through ADO.net not
ASP.net.

That message means that the workstation must have the Oracle client driver
installed on the workstation, so that you can use the Oracle Namespace. The
driver should match the Oracle client driver version number that's deployed
to a test or production Web server, as an example, otherwise, your
application will be using the wrong driver and subject to not work because
of this.
