The "regular" meeting (after-dinner topic)
Microsoft .Net Integration with DB2 UDB for iSeries V5R3

This presentation discusses the technical aspects of Microsoft .NET integration with DB2 UDB for iSeries.  Specifically, we are going to focus on the new database access object model, namely ADO.NET.

A .NET data provider is used for connecting to a database, executing commands, and retrieving results.  The data provider classes are specific to a data source.  In other words, the data providers are written for a specific data source and its classes can only be used with that data source.  Currently, DB2 UDB for iSeries is supported by four .NET providers including the native iSeries Access .NET provider.

This session will teach you how to choose the right provider for your environment.  It also illustrates with examples the most important coding techniques.
