Sybase ASE ADO.net 2.0 provider?

Question

I\'m looking for an ADO.net 2.0 or later provider for Sybase database which seems to be known as Sybase ASE. To clarify, I\'m interested in ASE, and not SQL Anywhere. Hopefully

From the sybase website:

Sybase support for ADO.NET, OLE DB, and ODBC Adaptive Server version 15.0 contains new ODBC and OLE DB drivers developed by Sybase. The third-party rebranded ODBC and OLE DB Driver Kits included with previous versions are no longer shipped.

The retired ODBC Driver Kit was installed in %SYBASE%\ODBC, and registered with the ODBC Driver Manager as “Sybase ASE ODBC Driver”. The new ASE ODBC Driver by Sybase is installed in %SYBASE%\DataAccess\ODBC, and registered as “Adaptive Server Enterprise”. The version shipping with Adaptive Server and SDK 15.0 is version 15.0.0.50.

The retired OLE DB Driver Kit was installed in %SYBASE%\OLEDB, and used the provider short name of “Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider” and the long name of “Sybase ASE OLE DB Provider”. The new ASE OLE DB Provider by Sybase is installed in %SYBASE%\DataAccess\OLEDB, and uses provider short name “ASEOLEDB”. The version shipping with SDK 15.0 is version 15.0.0.51.

Sybase recommends that you start your migration process the new ODBC and OLE DB drivers as soon as possible. New features introduced in Adaptive Server 15.0 are supported only by the new drivers.

See “New Features for OpenServer 15.0 and SDK 15.0 for Windows, Linux and UNIX”, for instructions on migrating to the new drivers.
