<ul>
<li>Have working mono and mcs setup</li>
<a href="http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/">IBM DB2</a> software. There
are versions for Windows, Linux, AIX, and Sun Solaris.</li>
- <li>Make sure the assembly Mono.Data.DB2Client.dll was built and installed
+ <li>Make sure the assembly IBM.Data.DB2.dll was built and installed

<li>If you do not have the source to mcs, get the source from
<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">here</a></li>
- <li>Has a ConnectionString format like ODBC</li>
-
- <li>Here is a ConnectionString format if you have a DSN setup:
-<pre>
- "DSN=dataSetName;UID=myuserid;PWD=mypassword"
-</pre>
- </li>
-
- <li>Here is a ConnectionString format if you do not have a DSN (have not
- gotten this to work though, so, I am open to suggestions):
+ <li>Here is a sample ConnectionString:
<pre>
- "DRIVER={DB2 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=test;UID=myuserid;PASSWORD=mypassword"
+ "server=sample;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypwd"

</li>
- <li>In mcs/class/Mono.Data.DB2Client/Test/DBConnTest, you will find
- a DBConnTest.cs.</li>
-
- <li>To build DBConnTest:
- <ul>
- <li>On Unix:</li>
-<pre>
-mcs DBConnTest.cs -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.DB2Client.dll
-</pre>
- </li>
- <li>On Windows via Cygwin:
-<pre>
-mono C:/cygwin/home/MyHome/mono/install/bin/mcs.exe DBConnTest.cs \
- -lib:C:/cygwin/home/MyHome/mono/install/lib \
- -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.DB2Client.dll
-</pre>
- </li>
- <li>To run it on mono:
-<pre>
-mono DBConnTest.exe database userid password
-</pre>
- </li>
- </ul>
- </li>
<li>C# Example:
<pre>
