Can't connect to MySQL for .NET application deployed in Wine using Ubuntu

Question

Below is the link

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1518946/how-to-insert-delete-select-update-values-in-datagridview-in-c-using-mysql

which has the code to connect to a MySQL datbase from a Windows application. It works fine in Windows XP. So I have created a setup file and installed in Ubuntu using Wine.

The issue is with the data not getting popped up in the datagridview of the application.

Extra information:

Wine is working fine by which i have installed small desktop application MySql with connector,Mono IDE are already installed.

It is even possible for me to create small applications using mono>(excluding database)

Screenshot 1: In Windows it looks like this:

But in Ubuntu Linux(8.04) it doesn't show up and looks like below.

Answer 1

This sounds like bug 33938, the Mono environment in Linux doesn't seem to support Windows' native codepage (1252).

Answer 2

Wait, why are you using Wine and Mono at the same time? That probably won't work. Why don't you run the application natively, using only Mono?

Answer 3

HI all,

Thanks for the all the help and support from all of you.

I have installed crossover trail version which supports datagridview. Please follow the link to find the answer.
