Hello!
I'm trying to write a VB.NET program that connects to a AS/400 Server.
I've tried almost everything, but it will not connect.
I've tried to set up a DSN using the Client Access ODBC-driver
(v8.00.04.08) but with no result. I've also tried a DSN-less
connection.
From VB.NET i'm using oleDbConnection to create the connection. If I
don't supply a provider in the connection string, the program hangs
saying that a provider is requiered.
I have tried using different providers IBMDA400, MSDASQL, DB2OLEDB.
Always with the same result: An unhandled exception of type
'System.Invalid OperationExcept ion' occurred in system.data.dll
Additional information: The 'IBMDA400' provider is not registered on
the local machine.
How do I register the IBMDA400 provider? Is there an other way to
connect? Is it possible to make a DSN-less connection?
Thanks!

ISeries Access for Windows beta provides a .NET Framework Data Provider.
See the URL below http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver...dows/beta.html
I don't think this beta has gone live. It was updated on Feb 10, 2004.

Hi Marcus,
I suggest you try with another ODBC driver, StarSQL
( www.starquest.com) might be a good option.

Here's a conn string I use to get to ours:
Private Const sConnStr As String = "Provider=IBMDA 400.DataSource. 1; " &
_
"User ID=zzz;Data Source=sysname; Protection Level=None; "
& _
"Transport Product=Client Access; " & _
"Force Translate=00037 ;Default Collection=zzz; " & _

Marcus,
Another option would be to use an ADO.NET provider to access the
AS/400 instead of the OLE DB option. This would provide better
performance and allow you take advantage of the features in the .NET
framework (security, memory management).
DataDirect's Connect for .NET provides a 100% managed ADO.NET provider
that can access all flavors of DB2, including AS/400. There are also
no dependencies on DB2 database clients. Everything you need to
connect is in the provider as it uses DRDA to communicate with the
database. You can download a trial version from the Connect for .NET
jump page at: http://www.datadirect.com/products/dotnet/index.ssp
This trial version is fully functional.
Hope this helps.

Yet another option is to have a local sql server (or msde) and set it up as
a linked server and then just access it via sql server :-)
