Using LINQ to Entity Framework with DB2

Is there an IBM Driver so we can use Linq to Entity framework to connect to DB2 and generate the DB2 entities on the desinger edmx file? Any links would be greatly appreciated

7 is out. You can install DB2 9.7 client in your pc to connect to any DB2 version. You can create edmx file to DB2 8.2 database too using this 9.7 client.

While developing you might require a visual studio debugger similar to that of Scott's - Linq to SQL debug visualizer. In that case feel free to download my RV's Linq to Entity visualizer at http://www.rajavenkatesh.com/projects.aspx

Good luck RV

Register yourself for closed beta program of DB2 9.7 and download the "code". Use the image to install DB2 9.7 client and Visual studio addins. After that you can create complete LINQ, edmx file for DB2. But still there are some unfinished work in Beta 6. Hopefully the final release should be fine.

Good luck
