Ottenere la posizione del file tnsnames.ora tramite codice

Alcuni anni fa ho avuto lo stesso problema.
Allora dovevo supportare Oracle 9 e 10, quindi il codice si occupa solo di quelle versioni, ma forse ti salva da alcune ricerche. L'idea è di:

• cerca nel registro per determinare la versione del client Oracle
• prova a trovare ORACLE_HOME
• finalmente ottieni i tnsnames da HOME

public enum OracleVersion
{
    Oracle9,
    Oracle10,
    Oracle0
};

private OracleVersion GetOracleVersion()
{
    RegistryKey rgkLM = Registry.LocalMachine;
    RegistryKey rgkAllHome = rgkLM.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES");

    /* 
     * 10g Installationen don't have an ALL_HOMES key
     * Try to find HOME at SOFTWARE\ORACLE\
     * 10g homes start with KEY_
     */
    string[] okeys = rgkLM.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE").GetSubKeyNames();
    foreach (string okey in okeys)
    {
        if (okey.StartsWith("KEY_"))
            return OracleVersion.Oracle10;
    }

    if (rgkAllHome != null)
    {
        string strLastHome = "";
        object objLastHome = rgkAllHome.GetValue("LAST_HOME");
        strLastHome = objLastHome.ToString();
        RegistryKey rgkActualHome = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME" + strLastHome);
        string strOraHome = "";
        object objOraHome = rgkActualHome.GetValue("ORACLE_HOME");
        string strOracleHome = strOraHome = objOraHome.ToString();
        return OracleVersion.Oracle9;
    }
    return OracleVersion.Oracle0;
}

private string GetOracleHome()
{
    RegistryKey rgkLM = Registry.LocalMachine;
    RegistryKey rgkAllHome = rgkLM.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES");
    OracleVersion ov = this.GetOracleVersion();

    switch(ov)
    {
        case OracleVersion.Oracle10:
            {
                string[] okeys = rgkLM.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE").GetSubKeyNames();
                foreach (string okey in okeys)
                {
                    if (okey.StartsWith("KEY_"))
                    {
                        return rgkLM.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE\" + okey).GetValue("ORACLE_HOME") as string;
                    }
                }
                throw new Exception("No Oracle Home found");
            }
        case OracleVersion.Oracle9:
            {
                string strLastHome = "";
                object objLastHome = rgkAllHome.GetValue("LAST_HOME");
                strLastHome = objLastHome.ToString();

            }
    }
