DB in C#

[Guest]

I'm currently trying to open up some DB2 database files,
but I cannot find a DB2 data adapter for C#. Is there
one out there, or is there a way to get around this?

I have not tried this but this case is usually what the OleDb... classes are
for, that is if you cannot find a native DB2 adapter.

I beleive you'll need to use OLE provider ODBC Drivers for this.

There is no DB2 specific data adapter (from Microsoft) so
you'll have to use the OleDb general classes.

You may want to email Hit Software. Last i heard they
were writing DB2 Namespace, like Oracle.

The latest client access software from IBM has their DB2 .net
provider (Beta). If you do not want to use beta software, use OleDB

You probably need an ODBC driver for DB2, ie StarSQL
(www.starquest.com). What DB2 platform do you need to access?
