The CONNX .NET Data Provider requires the Microsoft .NET Framework. The .NET Framework can be found on the CONNX CD-ROM, or can be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/

Once the framework is installed, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Visual Studio .NET 2003 can be used to quickly develop applications that take advantage of the CONNX .NET Data Provider, a feature of CONNX that can be used for accessing data from .NET applications.

The .NET Data Provider supports Unicode and ANSI data types.
