How do I access iSeries db with ODBC

[trent_sc]

I am developing for Pocket PC 2003 in VS 2008 and I am unable to create a data connection to an iSeries db with odbc. Does the compact framework support odbc? If not what are my options to connect? Thanks in advance!

I resorted to creating a webservice for the pocketpc app to connect to. Inside the webservice on the server is my iSeries connection. Sort of a work around but actually ended up helping since if I need to change something on the backend I only need to change it once, in the webservice, which is regular .NET
