ADO.NET support in Mono is not ready for primetime. I can not say when it will be ready. Some parts are more stable than others. However, System.Data needs some heavy testing for it to become mature.
You can help contribute to the project. This can be done via source code, documentation, or testing. Any three of these will help make System.Data in Mono become closer to be ready for primetime. Most especially, testing needs to be done to find bugs. Good Bug reports will help get the bugs fixed quicker. Bug reports can be entered in Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.ximian.com/ If you don't have an account, you can create a new one. Unfortunately, the OleDb provider in Mono only works on Linux due to its dependence on libgda. In order for it to work on Windows, it would need to be ported. Libgda can be found at http://www.gnome-db.org/ What kind of DBMS are you using? Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, IBM DB2 Universal Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Lite, Firebird/Interbase SQL, or something else? These databases have Mono data providers for them. If there is not a provider for your DBMS or its not working well enough for you, you could try the ODBC data provider which works on Windows, Linux, and Unix. What operating system are you using? When you say DataGrid, which GUI are you talking about? ASP.NET, GTK#, System.Windows.Forms, or something else?

I had use the mono project but many problem stop me, such as OleDb connection, datagrid paging. If the mono project will end in less five or six moth, it will be a fantastic news for me.
