Ado.Net provider with sources.

[Craig Kenisston]

Hi,

I've been assigned the task of build an ado.net provider for a propietary
database format.
I downloaded and studied the sample in MSDN which has been a good start.

I'm looking now for (preferable free) Ado.Net provider with sources that
help me to understand more the ado.net architecture. I found a couple of
Ado.Net providers for MySQL database, they provide the sources in C#.

I'm looking for more like these.


Thanks in advance,

From the mono project you can get ADO.NET provider source code for
DB2, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and more.

Hi, Scott,

Thanks much for the advise. I went to the site and follow the links of the
drivers and non of them, expect the MySql drivers seems to have a download
link, but I had those already.
So, I downloaded the whole mono setup and I can't find this sources, are
they there ? or could you point me where exactly to get them ?

Thanks in advance,

You need the Mono class libraries in mcs.*.tar file and look in
mcs-*\class\Mono.Data.SqliteClient\Mono.Data.SqliteClient to find the
SQLLite client files, for example.

Craig,
Depending on the timeframe for your provider you can also take a look at the
Common model in the v2.0 alpha of ado.net. The basic idea is that for v2.0
we have created a set of common base classes that all of our providers are
using, a third party provider can derive from these common model to get up
and running fast, and get some cool benefits like free connection pooling
(one of the hardest things to get working properly).
