My Environment of project is

1. Project uses 32 bit visual studio
2. oracle client is 64 bit.

I would switch to the 32-bits client. If you are supposed to generate 32-bits code, you need the 32-bits client libs. With a little luck they are installed together with the 64-bits client, if that is the case they are in ORACLE_HOME/lib32/ and in that case you could try using LIBRARY_PATH settings pointing to the lib32 directory. It is not very important to what kind of database you connect, 32-bits or 64-bits server, both will connect ok using the 32-bits client.

Yes, you can get it to work. You need to install both versions on your development machine. The 32bit version is used during debugging and the 64bit version when you deploy or test the application without Visual Studio.

No. You cannot mix 32 and 64 bit applications in a .NET application on the same machine.
