Syntax

[Visual Basic]
Public NotInheritable Class DB2Factory
	Inherits DbProviderFactory
[C#]
public sealed class DB2Factory : DbProviderFactory
[C++]
public ref class DB2Factory sealed : public DbProviderFactory
[JScript]
public final class DB2Factory extends 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();
