The ACS Windows package includes a .NET Data Provider that allows .NET to
talk to Db2, but AFAIK that must be installed on each Windows client. It
does allow you to connect to Db2 and/or execute native ILE programs (via
Db2 stored procedures).

Another option would be to host webservices on IBMi and connect to them
from Windows.

We originally used the first method, but more recently we've been doing the
second.

If this is not the right list for this, let me know the correct list and I
will repost.

I am playing with a concept and I need to connect to and IBM i database
with
a C#.Net desktop program. Pretty much everything I have found via Google
is
either 10 years old or involves configuration on the PC (something about
db2cli writecfg). Other databases such as MySQL have a .dll that allows
connection without any PC config. Does such a thing exist for the IBM i
and
I just haven't hit the right web page? What is the preferred method of
connecting from a C#.Net program?
