Access IBM db2 database with asp net 5

Question

I need to connect my ASP Net 5 application with a IBM Db2 database.

I found these nuget package:

https://www.nuget.org/profiles/IBMDB2EF

And i followed this tutorial:

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/96960515-2ea1-4391-8170-b0515d08e4da/entry/sample_ef7_application_for_ibm_data_servers?lang=en

But that does not work.

My project.json

"dependencies": {
"EntityFramework.IBMDataServer": "7.0.0-beta1",
. . .

}

My Starup.cs

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { . . .

        services.AddEntityFramework()
            .AddDb2()
            .AddDbContext<DB2.Models.Users.UserContext>();

        services.AddScoped<IUserRepository, UserRepository>();
    }

My DBContext

using Microsoft.Data.Entity;
using IBM.Data.Entity;

namespace DB2.Models.Users
{
    public class UserContext: DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<User> User { get; set; }

        protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
        {
            optionsBuilder.UseDb2(@"Server=x.x.x.x;Database=x;password=x;uid=x;");
            base.OnConfiguring(optionsBuilder);
        }        
    }
}

My repository

using System.Linq;

namespace DB2.Models.Users
{
    public class UserRepository: IUserRepository
    {
        private UserContext _context;

        public UserRepository(UserContext context)
        {
            _context = context;
        }

        public void pass()
        {
            var x = _context.User.First();            
        }
    }
}

When execute this line "var x = _context.User.First();" show me this error:

I see you marked db2400 - is this an IBM i or iSeries? If so, it has its own version of DB2. If the above is true use what comes with IBM i Access for Windows and add a reference to the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Client Access\IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.dll

Your installation could be in a different directory. This will give you what you need to access.

iSeries. Is a remote server.

Then install IBM i Access for Windows to get the .dll I mentioned.
