           Summary: DataTable STRING CONCATENATION (+) not
                    implemented/throws exception
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.6.x

STRING CONCATENATION (+), as described at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.datacolumn.expression(VS.85).aspx
is not implemented on Mono.
To be specific, it isn't implemented when used as part of a filter expression
(it could be implemented for other examples but I haven't tested for
that).
There is also a general aspect here being that the error thrown is far too
general - the MS equivalents are at least a bit more specific about what is
wrong with one's expressions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use STRING CONCATENATION (+) in DataTable.Select(filter).
2. Please see the attached code snippet
Actual Results:  
An exception is thrown: "Expression '(strWord+' '+strWord) NOT LIKE '*Bug*'' is
invalid.".
Typically, the MS platform would be more specific, and this is only an example,
but one would expect an error "String concatenation (the + symbol) in your
expression is not yet support on Mono"

Expected Results:  
It should have concatenated the strings (i.e. the text data from the column and
the string given, in this example 'BugFree BugFree').
