Hi there! Tim, Rodrigo, Daniel, Rafael or someone willing to help a mono/sql newbie here.
I'm using Mono 0.28 installed from an RPM file (and I have reasons to stick to the RPM file rather than using CVS) I'm writing some C# code which requires to select some information from a bunch of already-filled tables on a postgres database. I tried to use Mono.Data.PostgreSQL unsuccessfully as well as Npgsql (more details on this at the bottom of the message). Now I don't know what to do: Should I keep on trying with either of those data providers? Should I try to use ByteFX with postgres? Where can I find more information about it? Thanks in advance for helping me. Details on the tests and failures with both data providers: >From http://go-mono.com/postgresql.html I copied verbatim the examples for Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient and Npgsql named them TestExample.Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.cs and TestExample.Npgsql.cs respectively, and then followed the instructions found there, in order to compile and use the examples: When I tried to compile the one using PostgreSqlClient , it failed with "Cannot find type `PgConnection'" Afterwards, I tried to compile the one using Npgsql, which also failed, this time indicating "Use of unassigned local variable `dbcon'" on line 15. >From somewhere (I can't remember where, but the source file is also attached) I copied another test example which compiles on my system, although when I attempt to run the .exe file using mono, it complains about an unhandled exception ("A null value was found where an object instance was required") The command lines I�m using to build (or attempt to build) the test examples are as follows: $mcs TestExample.Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.cs -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.dll $mcs TestExample.Npgsql.cs -r System.Data.dll -r Npgsql.dll $mcs OtherTestExample.cs -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.PostgreSqlClient.dll ===== Roberto Jimeno __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
