So there's an upcoming Linux-based Nokia handheld device which seems very interesting for a host of reasons (form factor, price, capabilities, open SDKs):
http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/770 The SDK is "Maemo", and is open source. However, it's C++-based. Yech. On the surface it seems like getting Mono to run on it won't be so bad. Does that seem true? The one trick is that they define there own set of UI "helpers" (possibly on top of GTK+), and I suppose I'd have to develop shims to map to those APIs from Mono. http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html If others are interested, perhaps we can have an off-list chat about what it would take and who can do what... --Max -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nimrod A.

Try the official connector from MySQL: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/1.0.html But be sure to search the mailing list first because there are a few quirks with the current version that you should be aware of. One case is the way it currently deals with DateTime values with a value of 0 (0000-00-00 00:00:00). -- _nimrod_a_abing_ "I reject your reality and substitute my own." -- Adam Savage _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
