Adaptive Server Anywhere .NET data provider required files

The Adaptive Server Anywhere .NET data provider consists of two DLLs for each platform.

Windows required files 

For Windows (except Windows CE) the following DLLs are required:

• win32\iAnywhere.Data.AsaClient.dll

• win32\dbdata9.dll

The first DLL (iAnywhere.Data.AsaClient.dll) is the main DLL that is referenced by Visual Studio projects. The second DLL (dbdata9.dll) contains utility code.

Windows CE required files 

These files must be installed in your SQL Anywhere installation directory (the default location is C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\win32) because they require the language DLLs that are also located in your SQL Anywhere installation directory.

For Windows CE, iAnywhere.Data.AsaClient.dll is the main DLL that is referenced by Visual Studio projects. There is a separate dbdata9.dll file for each of the supported Windows CE platforms. The Windows CE DLLs are:

• ce\iAnywhere.Data.AsaClient.dll

• ce\arm.30\dbdata9.dll

• ce\emulator.30\dbdata9.dll

• ce\mips.30\dbdata9.dll

• ce\x86\dbdata9.dll

The utility DLL (dbdata9.dll) must be placed in the Windows directory on your device. Visual Studio .NET deploys the .NET data provider DLL (iAnywhere.Data.Asaclient.dll) to your device along with your program. If you are not using Visual Studio .NET, you need to copy the data provider DLL to the device along with your program. It can go in the same directory as your application, or in the Windows directory.
