[Mono-list] ADO.NET Provider Factory (minor update)

[Brian Ritchie]

I've commited a couple of goodies to the Provider Factory:

1) A new Description property to the Provider class and app.config file. 
(thanks Daniel Morgan for the suggestion)  The test app under 
/mcs/class/Mono.Data/test has also been updated.

Here's some sample code on displaying a list of configured ADO.NET 
providers:

Console.WriteLine("Configured Providers:");
foreach (Provider p in ProviderFactory.Providers)
        Console.WriteLine(p.Description);

2) Added a new super lazy overload to the FillDataSet method (in 
DataTools.cs)  This will fill a dataset in one line of code!  (another 
Daniel suggestion)

Alrighty...without further introduction...the one line of code!

DataSet ds=DataTools.FillDataSet("PubsConnStr", "select * from authors");

where PubsConnStr is setup in your app.config file.  For more info see my 
original post:

Well, thats it.  Please keep the suggestions coming.
Happy Hacking!

Brian
