ODBC ADO.NET driver for CF

[Lloyd Dupont]

I would like to have an ODBC driver for my CF.NET application

here I found an OpenSource implementation of the ADO.NET ODBC driver:
http://www.go-mono.com/odbc.html

howerver it use interop with odbc32.dll
will it work on CF ?
I can't see any odbc32.dll in my device \\Windows

any comment ?
any clues on ODBC on CF ? even commercial one !

No it won't work because Windows CE doesn't have any ODBC support.

thanks for the info anyway

Yea, I know. I think there's a moderately-sized market for some sort of
shim which would allow Windows CE devices to access ODBC resources across
the network but, other than the Odyssey Software components (ViaDB,
CEFusion), few people seem to be chasing this (and no one seems to be
chasing it from .NET CF). Maybe everyone is building their own code to do
it or something...
