Making an Add-In for ArcMap, refactoring old VBA code into VB.NET. Trying to create a new workspace with ArcObjects in VB.NET.

I am getting the error:

BC30002 Type "OLEDBWorkspaceFactory" is not defined

I tried this example IWorkspaceFactory2 Example, but I was also getting the same error with SdeWorkspaceFactory not being defined.

Below is how the code looks like. How would you rewrite it to work?

Dim pWorkspaceFact As IWorkspaceFactory2
pWorkspaceFact = New OLEDBWorkspaceFactory

Dim pWorkspace As IWorkspace
pWorkspace = pWorkspaceFact.Open(pPropSet, 0)

Dim pEnumDatasetNames As IEnumDatasetName
pEnumDatasetNames = pWorkspace.DatasetNames(esriDTTable)

    Is this a standalone exe? If so, if you don't initialize (checkout) an Esri license, trying to create a workspace object can throw an exception. Commented Feb 19, 2019 at 15:34
  • It's an add-in for ArcMap, so I'm trying to make a custom button. Do I need to initiliaze an Esri License for an add-in?

This code works, I just made a typo blunder! It was a small typo in my namespace that I referenced in.

I wrote

Imports ESRI.ArcGIS.DatasourcesOledDB

When it should have been

Imports ESRI.ArcGIS.DataSourcesOleDB
