Our biggest customer uses an AS400 as their database. The very limited programming I have done for them was years ago using Perl and ODBC. Most of the work we do for them currenty is done in RPG but they are now asking for stuff that is better suited to .NET, specifically ASP.NET, for their customers to view inventory on the web.



I have been looking and have some leads but if someone here has some practical expreience with something that works ( a data provider), I would sure appreciate it.

DataDIrect had me try DDTek.DB2..........

Well, that is much closer to a provider name since it is in COM class name or program ID format.

When you use the DataDicrect provider in code, do you create an OleDbCommand object, or is it a Db2Command object from one of their namespaces?

I was under the impression that their provider was not an OLE DB provider, but actually a native ADO.NET provider, with its own classes and everything.
