OleDb

[Doug Bell]

Hi does compact framework support oledb.

I need to connect to a DB2 database using an OleDbDataAdapter and
OleDbCommand but can not find a reference to System.Data.OleDb to add to my
project (Visual Studio 2005).

This is my first compact framework project so finding my way a bit.

Thanks for any help,

Doug

There is no OleDb provider for the .NET Compact Framework. There is a
specific provider for DB2 Everyplace but I assume your source is a remote
database server. One option would be to implement a web service to exchange
data with a service running remotely. Or use DB2 Everyplace to keep a local
database synchronised with the remote DB2 server.

Thanks Peter,
I will do a search on DB2 Everyplace.
