Hi drdexter33,
Each time I attempt to configure a new Oracle data source to bind a control in Visual Studio 2010 on my Windows 2012 Server
If you want to bind Controls to data in Visual Studio 2010, you can take a look at the article below first.

To connect to oracle database, here is the reference for you.

For this issue, it's also recommended to turn the build output up to 11, it will give some hints why this happens.
In the Options window, find Projects and Solutions >> Build and Run. Find Diagnostic in the drop-down for MSBuild project build output verbosity.
Hope it helps.
Regards
