Namespace requirements

The namespace for the Informix® .NET Provider is: IBM.Data.Informix. This means that the full name of the objects in the Informix .NET Provider all begin with IBM.Data.Informix.

For example, the full name of IfxConnection is IBM.Data.Informix.IfxConnection.

To avoid having to enter the entire namespace for each of the objects you can import the namespace. The exact way that you do this depends on your programming language. The C# language uses the keyword using. If you are programming in C#, you can reference the namespace by including this line at the start of your module:

using IBM.Data.Informix;

The Informix .NET Provider supports the System.Transaction namespace, but does not support the System.EnterpriseServices namespace.
