Connecting to Informix database from .Net

What's the best way to connect to a Informix database from .Net?

I'm developing a client-server application based on a legacy Informix DB which used to be connected by JDBC.

I need it, from the most important to the least:

  1. To be fast
  2. DB server changes not needed
  3. No ODBC and no dependencies, other than de .Net Framework 2.0

Thanks in advance for your help.
