</ul>
+
+** Testing
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Have a working mono and mcs installed</li>
+
+ <li>Have access to a Sybase database
+ or either download it:
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="http://www.sybase.com/downloads">Sybase</a></li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>Located at mcs/class/System.Data/Test is a test for System.Data.SqlClient
+ named SqlTest.cs and you could use this as a basis for your test.</li>
+
+ <li>Has a connection string format:
+<pre>
+ Server=hostname;Database=databaseName;User ID=userid;Password=password
+</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>The Server part can be used two ways:
+ <ul>
+ <li>hostname - "Server=MYHOST"</li>
+ <li>hostname,port - "Server=MYHOST,1533"</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>C# Example:
+<pre>
+ using System;
+ using System.Data;
+ using Mono.Data.SybaseClient;
+
+ public class Test
+ {
+ public static void Main(string[] args)
+ {
+ string connectionString =
+ "Server=localhost;" +
+ "Database=pubs;" +
+ "User ID=myuserid;" +
+ "Password=mypassword;";
+ IDbConnection dbcon;
+ dbcon = new SybaseConnection(connectionString);
+ dbcon.Open();
+ IDbCommand dbcmd = dbcon.CreateCommand();
+ string sql =
+ "SELECT fname, lname " +
+ "FROM employee";
+ dbcmd.CommandText = sql;
+ IDataReader reader = dbcmd.ExecuteReader();
+ while(reader.Read()) {
+ string FirstName = (string) reader["fname"];
+ string LastName = (string) reader["lname"];
+ Console.WriteLine("Name: " +
+ FirstName + " " + LastName);
+ }
+ // clean up
+ reader.Close();
+ reader = null;
+ dbcmd.Dispose();
+ dbcmd = null;
+ dbcon.Close();
+ dbcon = null;
+ }
+ }
+</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>Building C# Example:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Save the example to a file, such as, TestExample.cs</li>
+ <li>Build on Linux:
+<pre>
+ mcs TestExample.cs -r System.Data.dll \
+ -r Mono.Data.SybaseClient.dll
+</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>Build on Windows via Cygwin:
+<pre>
+ mono C:/cygwin/home/MyHome/mono/install/bin/mcs.exe \
+ TestExample.cs \
+ -lib:C:/cygwin/home/MyHome/mono/install/lib \
+ -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.SybaseClient.dll
+</pre>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>Running the Example:
+<pre>
+mono TestExample.exe
