Overview of .NET support for building applications on the client database

DB2 Everyplace provides the tools to enable developers to build applications that use the ADO.NET API to manipulate data managed by the DB2 Everyplace database. DB2 Everyplace contains two .NET Data Providers. One provider runs on the .NET Framework 1.0 and the other provider runs on .NET Compact Framework. You will find these providers or APIs in:

• For Win32:

  \DB2Everyplace\Clients\Win32\database\nmp\IBM.Data.DB2.DB2e.dll
  

• For WinCE:

  \DB2Everyplace\Clients\WinCE\database\nmp\IBM.Data.DB2.DB2e.CF.dll
  

The API specifications are located in

\DB2Everyplace\Clients\Win32\database\nmp\doc\readme.html

To simplify the transition for programmers that have used Microsoft ODBC .NET Data Provider in the past, the new DB2 Everyplace .NET Data Provider interfaces are almost identical to those of the Microsoft ODBC .NET Data Provider. For instance, the Microsoft ODBC .NET Data Provider has the OdbcConnection class, while IBM DB2 Everyplace .NET Data Provider has DB2eConnection as an equivalent function class. Similarly you can replace 'Odbc' with 'DB2e' in the other class names to get the corresponding DB2 Everyplace .NET Data Provider classes.
