SqlClientProvider support for Mono?

    SqlClientProvider support for Mono?

    Does the EntitySpaces SQLClientProvider work in Mono on Linux?   I would like to connect to a remote SQL Server 2005 database using a Mono/ES application.   I would think that it is feasible using FreeTDS.

    Thanks!

    Re: SqlClientProvider support for Mono?

    According to MoMa, the only issues are that Mono does not support OracleParameterCollection.AddWithValue, so our Oracle provider will not work, nor does it support ConfigurationManager.get_ConnectionStrings(). Therefore, you cannot put our EntitySpaces configuration sections in an app/web config file. You will need to use EntitySpaces configless mode, as noted in this Blog post.

    I have not used Mono myself, but there are no issues reported in our ES2008 .NET 2.0 SqlClientProvider runtime, so I think it should be possible without FreeTDS.
