 Terminology

.NET is a rigorous object-based system, which is not dependent on the machine processor and much more elaborate than the ActiveX system. This hardware independence is based on the virtual processor principle which is also a fundamental principle of the iSeries architecture!

ADO.NET is a set of .NET objects that constitute the new database access standard. This object set enables the execution of queries or programs and the retrieval of a result set in high-level objects (enabling path, filtering, modification, etc.).

Easycom .NET is a set of objects that inherit from ADO.NET objects, thus ensuring full integration and generic programming. Moreover, this inheritance is enriched with functions specific to AS/400 such as the execution of native commands, for example.
As a result, ADO.NET is fully integrated.
