People have asked (not all but a few and specific areas) of how to connect to DB2 from ASP.NET everywhere. I have tried googling a lot (been like a week) and been to IBM website (freaking several times , more than I see my gf).
Now here is the problem, I know I can use Oledb, ODBC, Managed Provider and a few other more to connect to db2 , which I have tried all and failed for several reasons. When I think I have everything then I fire up visual studio and test a bit but it failed.
I know this is a bit spoon feeding but I am really getting tired figuring this out. Can anyone help me to point me to a good step by step tutorial on how to connect to asp.net to db2 (please no IBM website, I rather go read sanskrit ) ? And where I can
go and download those drivers for me to connect to db2 (again no IBM website, it is not really heplful) ? Thankssssssssssss
Summary
What do I need to connect and query to a db2 database from asp.net (something like SELECT * FROM dbnet_whatever_table , similiar to hello world version)
Where can I download those tools apart from IBM website ? (they really mess me up with all the different patches and their website is not really helpful)
