Connect to AS400 using .NET

Asked 2010-07-26T16:04:53.580

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?

c# asp.net .net ibm-midrange
