Moma report and ADO.NET

For the 2.0 completion work, I was going through the Moma report for ADO.NET as that would bring us close enough to claim a usable-100% compatibility with .NET 2.0.

List of Todo APIs as reported by Moma are as follows:

285 System.Data.DataSet::.ctor(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo,

System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext,

System.Boolean)

81 System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection::set_ConnectionString(System.String)

42 System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection::get_ConnectionString()

11 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleParameter::set_Value(System.Object)

7 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleParameter::get_Value()

6 System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataReader::GetFieldType(System.Int32)

5 System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter::set_UpdateBatchSize(System.Int32)

5 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataReader::GetSchemaTable()

4 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataReader::NextResult()

2 System.Web.Handlers.TraceHandler::ShowDetails(System.Data.DataSet)

2 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand::ExecuteOracleScalar()

2 System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter::get_UpdateBatchSize()

1 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection::get_DataSource()

1 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand::Clone()

1 System.Data.OracleClient.OracleDataReader::GetOracleBinary(System.Int32)

1 System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection::GetSchema(System.String)

In the coming weeks, I will be working on implementing these APIs, a peek through on the MSDN docs revealed that some of these APIs don't have proper documentation or a use-case/sample. Typical example is System.Data.DataSet::.ctor(System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo,
System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext,System.Boolean). As you can see, 285 requests have been filed for this API.

Help requested: A use case/sample .NET code would help a lot in implementing these APIs. Please file a bug in bugzilla.novell.com and attach your sample code to it or leave a comment here with a link to your test code or mail it to me at vvaradhan AT novell DOT com. Please do not attach/mail any code that doesn't comply with MIT/X11 license, however, public domain code is accepted. Many thanks in advance.

Update: Bugzilla link to point directly to Mono bug reporting page.

Mono and ADO.NET

I have recently taken ownership of Mono's ADO.NET from the LDTP fame Nagappan. I will be slowly progressing towards the 99% API compatibility with .NET 2.0 in the coming month(s). All Mono/ADO.NET related updates/issues/cries-for-help will be tracked through this blog. I thank everyone that provided me this opportunity to work on one of the finest F/OSS projects.
