IBM DB2 Connection String Problem

I am creating a VB.net Web application and trying to connect to an IMB DB2
Database and I get the following error:
Keyword Provider not Supported. Here is my code:
Dim DB2connectstring As String =
"provider=IBMDADB2;DSN=GASTRN;UID=castigd;PWD=abcd123;database=GASTRN;"

I did the following imports:

Imports System.IO

Imports System.Data

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Imports System.Data.OleDb

Imports Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data

Imports System.Diagnostics

I have also added a reference to Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data

I am using Microsoft Development Environment 2003 Version 7.1.3088
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Version 1.1.4322 SP1
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Using the .NET provider is different that using OLE DB or ODBC.
"Provider" is not a valid ConnectionString property. Using the
iDB2Connection class IS your provider. If you have this installed, you
should be able to get to the docs by going to Start->Programs->IBM
iSeries Access for Windows->Programmer's Toolkit->Programmer's Toolkit.
Once open, expand "Programming Technologies" and select ".NET
Framework" this will give you a link to the Documentation.

For the short term, try using just something like this:

Dim DB2connectstring As String =
"DataSource=192.168.1.1;UserID=castigd;Password=abcd123";

HTH,
