Syntax

[Visual Basic]
Public NotInheritable Class DB2Factory

[C#]
public sealed class DB2Factory : DbProviderFactory
[C++]
public ref class DB2Factory sealed : public DbProviderFactory

Example

[C#] The following example demonstrates the creation of a DbConnection instance, using the DB2Factory.CreateConnection method.

[C#]
DB2Factory myFactory = DB2Factory.Instance;
DbConnection conn = myFactory.CreateConnection();

[C#] You can also get a database factory instance by using the generic DbProviderFactories class. In the following example, which accomplishes the same task as the previous example, note the "IBM.Data.DB2" string passed to the GetFactory method. This string uniquely identifies the IBM Data Server Provider for .NET from all other .NET data providers.

[C#]
DbProviderFactory myFactory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("IBM.Data.DB2");
DbConnection conn = myFactory.CreateConnection();
