The error message clearly states what's going wrong: the
assembly Microsoft.Data.Odbc is missing.

This assembly was obsoleted by MS a couple of years ago (starting
with .NET 1.1 AFAIR).

You must remove the reference to this assembly from your
code and use System.Data instead since Mono does not
provide and will not provide the Microsoft.Data.Odbc
assembly.
