Connecting to a Sybase Database using C#

How can I connect to a Sybase Database using C#.Net? Do I need to install a specific dll or I shou开发者_开发知识库ld add something in the

using

section?

You'll need to do both. You can either get providers from Sybase (my last experience was not entirely positive... their connector consisted of an unmanaged dll and a managed wrapper that was not portable across 32/64 bit machines), or use the ones from the Mono project. I'm sure there are several other providers like DataDirect as well.

An alternative to the answer provided so far is to download and install the ODBC drivers, then lookup connecting to ODBC in C#.
