[Mono-list] MSSQL from Linux using Mono - Error

[Daniel Waterbly]

Hello,

    I have been trying all day and night to connect to a MS SQL Server
database from my redhat linux box.  I can connect just fine to a MySQL
database, but it just won't fly with a MSSQL database.  Here is the code I
am using:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

 public class sql
 {
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
                string connectionString = 
"server=<SERVER'SIP>;database=<DATABASE>;uid=<USER>;password=<PASSWORD>;";
                string commandString = "select * from SUBSCRIBERS";
                SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new
                SqlDataAdapter(commandString, connectionString);
                DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
                dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet, "SUB");

                int i;

                for (i = 0; i < dataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++)
                {
                        System.Console.WriteLine("ROW: " +
                            dataSet.Tables[0].Rows[i]["house_number"] + " " 
+
                            dataSet.Tables[0].Rows[i]["street"]);
                }
    }
}

Everything compiles fine and it runs just grand from my Windows XP box, but
when I try mono sql.exe I get this:

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Invalid arguments

Can you please help me out here? It's driving me nutty!
