'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw an exception, WinForms Application

I have a WinForms application in a .NET Framework 4.5.2 and an Oracle 10g database. This application works perfectly fine when I debug it using VS 2017, but when I deploy it as a ClickOnce application [using ClickOnce Deployment Manifest] it does not work and I keep getting the following error.
Image of the error upon connecting
relevant error text follows:
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
************** Exception Text **************
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand' threw an exception. ---> Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize()
at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand..cctor()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
It also runs perfectly fine when running the it from bin/Release folder, how can I make so that my deployed application runs like my local .exe in my repo.
And an additional piece of info, this WPF application is just a menu so that it runs my other WinForms applications, they work perfectly fine even when published, I have ensured that all applications are targeting an (x86) architecture and that all the ClickOnce settings are the same, to no avail.
Or can I even recreate the error when debugging so that I can fix? I tried forcing 64 - bit mode
(since that is what my machine is) in the properties of the project, but it does not even load. In the ClickOnce application it loads to the log-in page, but messes up when establishing a connection after the user has entered their credentials.
This is my first post so please fell free to request any more info and let me know if I have been unclear in anyway.
Thank you for the help in advance !

The issue has been resolved, but if anyone else come across it here is the solution, you have to find and add the appropriate DLL's manually into your project. I guess as mentioned in other answers, when the error says "...Client is not compatible..." it can also mean that the appropriate files do not exist.

The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access with Snapshot Debugger

I am trying to open a Snapshot that I am logging in Azure in Visual Studio 15.5 and I get the following error
The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access
If I attempt to debug with managed code, I get this exception
Unhandled exception at 0x0C492A36 in 8acbe77983bb43b4bad3ef7f2224a765.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000004.
I have tried running VS as Admin but this isn't resolved. Is it a symbol loading issue? Not sure how to debug this

InvalidOperationException: Could not locate the hub named 'Roslyn'

I'm making a Roslyn diagnostic. When debugging the diagnostic, which launches a separate instance of Visual Studio, I get the following exception:
Exception thrown: 'System.InvalidOperationException' in
Microsoft.VsHub.Client.dll
Additional information: Could not locate the hub named 'Roslyn'
No further details are given. What does this exception mean? What can I do about it? I'm quite confused because earlier I was able to debug this project just fine. I've tried to 'git clean -f -x -d' but to no avail.

As discussed, Visual Studio throws a lot of exceptions during startup. Debugging tips are either:
Enable "Just My Code" under Debugging > General in Tools Options.
In the Exception Settings window, make sure breaking on an exception being thrown is off.

Winforms CL20R3 with CefSharp Project

I have a similar problem to this question C# windows appication Event: CLR20r3 on application start
The error is like this:
Application: MantenedorPlanesMain.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Battery:
in CefSharp.Example.CefExample.Init ()
in CefSharp.WinForms.Example.Program.Main ()
But only on some machines, for example, on my computer I can use the program without any problem and in a computer of my office too.
I tried to find the source of the problem here in stackoverflow and realized that the error was caused by a cs file not found, but is within the project.
When I go to see CefSharp.WinForms.Example.Program.cs and comment the line of CefSharp.Example.CefExample.Init() throws me the same error in another file.
I tried everything, even the CopyLocal = true and x86, but still not working. I think there may be a problem with the system language, which is the only common factor of the machines that worked, Spanish language system.
any ideas?

In this context FileNotFoundException usually means you need to install VC++ or that you compiled in Debug mode (You need to build in Release mode when running on a machine without VS installed)

TFS 2013 Throws Lib2GitSharp Error During Build/Deploy (Intermittent)

For a while now, I have been having an issue with Team Foundation Server build/deploy process throwing the following error intermittently:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

at LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods.LibraryLifetimeObject..ctor()
at LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods..cctor()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods.RemoveHandle()
at LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods.LibraryLifetimeObject.Finalize()
Exception Message: MSBuild error 255 has ended this build. You can find more specific information about the cause of this error in above messages. (type BuildProcessTerminateException) Exception Stack Trace: at System.Activities.Statements.Throw.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
This problem is very intermittent and it can be bypassed by simply retrying the build. Has anyone else run into this? Any solutions?

I know it is a little bit late for answer but it might help someone else
answer by Buck Hodges
We have now gotten to the bottom of this issue after debugging it with Manoj and customer support. It affected gated checkin of continuous delivery of Azure deployments as part of the build process when using the Azure SDK 2.5 or older. The workaround is to add /p:GenerateBuildInfoConfigFile=false to the msbuild arguments in your build definition. We are working on updating the build VM in production, but that will take 24-48 hours to propagate to all build pools.

If you have VS installed on your build server, make sure you have opened it and licensed it. by #Phill

Strangely enough for me, I was getting the same error in the build logs:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\BuildInfo\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ReleaseManagement.BuildInfo.targets (147): The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception.
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
I was able to simply RETRY the build, and it did not fail on the second try. So for me it was a transitory build issue.

Although late to the party, experienced this error recently and while the solution marked as the answer worked for that build, the error was fixed (and the switch removed) when Visual Studio 2012 was upgraded to Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 on the build server which was running TFS 2015 Update 3.

I hit this after I had upgraded my TFS 2013 XAML build machine to TFS 2015.
I had also changed the user that TFS 2015 XAML build used to run the build (service.
The Fix:
I had to log into the TFS 2015 XAML build machine as that new user and launch VS (I was using VS2013).
It ran through it's first time launch questions and setup.
I still saw the Lib2GitSharp Error issue sometimes after that.
Then I also logged VS (on the TFS 2015 XAML build machine) into a valid VS account.
I have not seen the Lib2GitSharp Error since and I never used the /p:GenerateBuildInfoConfigFile=false option.

I resolved this error by adding the build account to the local administrators group on the build machine.
