Connect to AS400 using .NET

I am trying to build a .NET web application using SQL to query a AS400 database. This is my first time encountering the AS400.

What do I have to install on my machine (or the AS400 server) in order to connect? (IBM iSeries Access for Windows?)

What are the components of the connection string?

Where can I find sample code on building the Data Access Layer using SQL commands?

You need the AS400 .Net data provider. Check here: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1027163

For connection string samples, check here: https://www.connectionstrings.com/as-400/

Also, check out the redbook for code examples and getting started. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246440.pdf
