Using NotesSQL with .NET

I'm doing a bit of work at the moment on a prototype of an application which needs to access Domino databases from .NET. It's interesting comparing the resources which are available on the subject with each other. A lot of them seem to be vendor specific, and so are filled with a fair amount of bias. It's also interesting using NotesSQL (which I actually thought was obsolete, but it seems the latest version was put up on IBM Partnerworld late last year), which is a product I've used before in conjunction with Reporting tools, but never in an integration context. It's documentation was created in the times when we all thought that releasing our documentation as HTML was a good idea, and that it was an even better idea to not include a search function within this HTML! It's pretty painful to use, and it's also a bit worrying that while the product was last updated late in 2006, some of the documentation hasn't been updated since March 2003.

Anyway, some of what I'm doing might be of interest to others out there, so I'll be writing up the more interesting points of the exercise when I'm done. I think there's a bit of value in having an overview of the methods you can use listed in one place together with their pros and cons, without having it slanted by a lot of vendor bias.

I also have about 15 years of experience with IBM Lotus Notes/Domino and associated technologies. While Notes/Domino is no longer my primary focus I still like to dabble and keep my skills up to date.
