Re: Visual Studio Server Explorer

["Bob Cagle" <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried this. I select MS ODBC as the data source, and then the
only option I have for data provider is '.NET Framework Data Provider
for ODBC'.

When I select other as the data source, the data provider option is
blank.

Shouldn't I be seeing the DB2 .NET provider available since I installed
the .NET stuff with iSeries Access?
