Hi Richard
First point, our web site is ancient and was put together in 10 minutes (we
produce good web applications for our customers but our own web site comes
way down the list of development priorities!).
I don't think our site suggests anything magical? We do obviously run
ASP.NET on Windows servers and just use a database access layer to
communicate with either DB2 or SQL Server (the choice is made at table
level). We simply use the IBM provider like any others. We do implement data
caching to reduce the number of calls to the DB2 database (or SQL database)
but really the complexity lies in the application design and business logic
just as it would in any other scenario.
As regards to running .NET natively on the iSeries I gave up that dream a
long time ago, and if my verbiage suggests that we do then I best change the
wording a.s.a.p. (new site will be along soon).
P.S. I am not promoting my business in this group (you would have to be
kidding!!).
Regards
Maurice

Hello Maurice,
I'm assuming that your company is running .Net on Windows technology not
natively correct ?
Your web site verbiage sounded a little like you've been able to make .Net
work on the i.
Tell us more about how you're using .Net.

Personally it's very nice to see .NET discussed openly in this group as an
option for web enabling the I
That wasn't always the case! ( hello Joe )
As others have said use the best tool for the job in hand be it a mixture of
languages, hardware, OS, skills etc etc...
