That's true: as I told before ADO.NET layer is new and, although it
doesn't affect the core functionalities of the main system, it is not
ready (sorry for that: when I posted the announcement I didn't review
that particular part, since by design it was not "fundamental").

Anyway, I'm not far from publishing the assemblies ready to be tested:
I will let you know.

At the moment, unfortunately, I use to build it with VS.NET and #D +
Mono, but this is not the right path to take for the build, since, as
said in a previous post, it is not cross platform and it's tricky
switching between development environments.
Since the main reason I didn't pick NAnt as building tool for this
project was the missing of a specific task for CSharpCC
pre-compilation of SQL grammar files, I had to quit this solution.
This evening (GMT+1) I decided to resume a solution implemented by
Vitaliy Maslevskiy and I published to the CSharpCC SVN repo (and soon
the binaries) that used to work fine, in addition to an IKVM port, and
I'm going to write a build.xml file for this task.

I will post any news about these topics.


Cheers.
Antonello
