Does Visual Studio 2017 Community (.NET Framework 4.6.2) support Oracle 8i

Does Visual Studio 2017 Community (.NET Framework 4.6.2) support Oracle 8i? I am trying to connect with .NET Framework 4.6.2 to a production Oracle 8i database. I googled it, but I can not find anything which is related to this topic. I checked also this site but that is for Windows 2008 R2. I tried Oracle 19 and Oracle 18 and it works. But I can't find what the oldest version is that is still compatible with .NET Framework (like Oracle 8 or Oracle 9) . I tried to connect using ODP.NET Managed Driver but it was unsuccessful. I am an Oracle Developer and Web Developer for the organisation. I have been given the task to test it if it's possible to connect on our (TEST) database which is Oracle 8i (I believe). Our main database is Oracle 10, but this data is restricted and I cannot manipulate it. This part is for our DBA.
