[Mono-list] MySQL Connector/NET vs Mono

[Joe Audette]

I have been using the MySQL Connector in mono for
quite a while with no trouble at all in my project at
http://www.mojoportal.com

I compile it on Windows and deploy it to the bin
folder of my web on linux and it works fine for me. I
don't think I am using the very latest version of the
Connector though, I think I am only 1 version behind
the current Connector release.

Hope it helps,

Joe
