[Mono-list] Swap out M$'s System.Data.SqlClient and substitute Mono's System.Data.SqlClient

[Daniel Morgan]

Sure.  You can build it with csc and run it on .NET.

You will need Mono.Data.Tds.dll too which implementes the TDS protocol =
in
100% C#.

If System.Xml.dll and System.EnterpriseServices.dll do not work for you, =
you
may need to use Mono's too.

Hello, all!
	I got asked this by one of the developers working with me: "Can I
just swap out the Microsoft's System.Data.SqlClient and use Mono's
instead?". This particular developer has been having issues with MS's
implementation of SqlClient namespace and would like to see he can =
escape
them by using Mono's implementation, which is 100% managed (MS got a
unmanaged layer hooking into dbnetlib from what I understand).=20

So, my question to you guys is:  "Can I just build a stand-alone version =
of
Mono's System.Data.dll with csc and substitute it instead of MS's
implementation?"

I understand that some of the stuff System.Data does are =
runtime-dependent,
but since corlib b/w Mono and MS.Net are API-compliant, I was thinking =
maybe
it was possible to do that.

Obviously, the references will have to be adjusted for the application
project to work properly, but that isn't an issue.

The app in question is an ASP.NET app, even though I don't think it's
relevant in this case. And no, it can't run under XSP yet, as some of =
the
third-party controls it's using don't work with XSP yet.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
	Mark.
