DB2 "Stinger" version of DB2 Connect provides both a native DB2 .NET Data
Provider to enable programming for ADO.NET interfaces and a set of DB2
add-ins for Visual Studio .NET to make this programming an natural
experience for Visual Studio .NET programmers. It fully supports
connectivity to DB2 for iSeries and building of complete applications
including client components and server objects such as stored procedures and
user defined functions. To get DB2 "Stinger" go to
http://www.ibm.com/db2/stinger and apply.
