IBM® Data Server Provider for .NET supports
the following .NET Framework and Visual Studio versions.
Supported development software for .NET Framework
applications
In addition to an
IBM data server client or
driver package, you need one of the supported tools to develop .NET
Framework applications:
- Visual Studio 2008
- Visual Studio 2010
- Visual
Studio 2012
- Visual
Studio 20131
Important: Starting in DB2 Version
10.5 Fix Pack 5, the use of IBM data server products with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
is deprecated.
Supported deployment software for .NET Framework applications
In addition to an
IBM data server client or
driver package, you need one of the following packages to deploy .NET
Framework applications. In most cases, a .NET Framework redistributable
package is included with a Windows installation.
- .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package
- .NET Framework Version 3.0 Redistributable Package
- .NET Framework Version 3.5 Redistributable Package
- .NET Framework Version 4.0 Redistributable Package

When
you install a 64-bit IBM Data
Server Package, both 32-bit and 64-bit providers are installed and
configured.
If
a .NET Framework is not installed, the IBM Data
Server Client and driver installer will not install the IBM Data Server Provider for .NET. You must install
the IBM Data Server Provider
for .NET manually.
