The ODBC .NET Data Provider is an add-on component to the .NET
Framework. It provides access to native ODBC drivers...
<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=35715>
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=35715

The only tests at the time included Microsoft SQL ODBC, Oracle ODBC and
JET ODBC.

I wanted to let Rob (and others) know that I just tested the provider
with Informix Dynamic Server 7.30 running on an old test NT Server and
all is working just fine. The ODBC drivers used were Informix-CLI 2.5.
The 3.33 versions may also work, that release also includes OLE-DB that
needs testing. Of course this is only a preliminary ASP.NET test,
further testing is underway.

When something goes so smoothly, just as it was advertised (actually,
the advertisement said nothing about Informix) -- one just feels
compelled to share the good news.
