The IBM Informix CSDK 3.00 (for .NET provider) Beta Program will run until 02/28/2007

The IBM Informix Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK) offers a single packaging of several application programming interfaces (APIs) that are optimized for developing applications for Informix servers. IBM Informix CSDK 3.00 (for .NET provider ) contains new features in the following areas:

• IDS .NET Data Provider support for the .NET Framework 2.0
• IBM Database Add-Ins for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

The .NET Data Provider extends Informix server support for the ADO.NET interface. The .NET Data Provider delivers high-performing, secure access to Informix data. To develop and run applications that use .NET Data Provider you need the .NET Framework, Version 2.0 or 1.1.

In addition to the .NET Data Provider, there is also a collection of add-ins to the Microsoft(R) Visual Studio .NET IDE. The add-ins simplify the creation of applications that use the ADO.NET interface. You can also use the add-ins to develop server-side objects, such as SQL stored procedures and user-defined functions.

Access to this beta code is via developerWorks
