I developed this asp.net application. I used the connection from the toolbox instead of hardcoding the connection string somewhere in the code.

I had to develop the application on my localhost and then transfer it to the development box. When I do that and then run the application, I get this error message:
The 'Ifxoledbc.2' provider is not registered on the local machine.

The Ifxoledbc.2 is part of the connection string using the IBM Informix OLE DB Provider. I don't know what needs registered on the development server for this to work. Any ideas?

I would search nothing more complex than simply bad configured (or installed) informix provider on the development box. Delegate to admin to solve this :)
