Hi guys, I have been recently working on a Windows CE/XP application... one of the ideas we had when developing the application was to use a SqlCE database file (.sdf) to store the different data used by the application. I though it would be nice to try an compile it with mono (gmcs) and get it running on Linux, but I've got the problem that the namespace System.Data.SqlCeServer has no yet been implemented (let me know it it has been).
I have been thinking to implement the different classes of this space myself, is there anyone already doing this??? I have already done most of the NUnit tests that the classes should pass and I'm testing them with the Microsoft dll. I'm thinking of either creating the dll as a wrapper of the SQLite namespace (both databases are file based) or simply finding a way to read the .sdf files. Although the first option is far easier to implement it will mean that people will have different files according to the platform (Window = sdf, Linux = sqlite), I don't think this is a massive issue, specially because Linux users could have bigger dbs (.sdf has a max size of 4Gb) and I could always make a tool to go from one to another.... Summarising, let me know what you think, and if there is anyone already doing the SqlCeServer namespace, please tell me and I'll do my best to help :) _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
