RE: iSeries, .Net and COMMON

We mainly used the ADO.Net approach so they could use the techniques with 
other databases than iSeries. 

However the VB.Net code would have been 99% the same with calling the JDBC 
drivers from the ".Net-ified"  JT400 toolbox.  Have you tried that code 
yet ?  Very cool stuff. 

We would have had the code up in two minutes if I didn't have to actually 
teach the class and impart knowledge :-)

PS: I bet EGL could be used to create .Net apps too since it's mainly a 
template language.

PSS: I plan to be in Vegas for Devcon. Let's try to get together if you 
have time.

What did you use to access the back end?  Did you directly access data, or
did you call RPG programs?  Were you using the ".NET-ified" Toolbox, or 
some
other access method?

Joe

P.S. Anyone can develop subfile-like applications in EGL in minutes, and 
you
have your choice of a Java solution where both the client and the server
will run on any platform, or you can call RPG programs directly to access
business logic.

Already submitted for both areas :-)

I also recently did a customer class where we had a couple RPG guys
developing subfile-style .Net apps in 2 days with Visual Studio 2005.
