Dear MindScape, I'm developing apps for iPhone and Android. For this I'm using MonoTouch. Can I use LightSpeed to create and manage sqlite databases? If so, might you have an example project? Best, Robert. |

We do support SQLite but I dont believe this would be possible as as far as I can tell MonoTouch does not allow for linking to external assemblies.

So, are you saying that LightSpeed itself would not run in MonoTouch or that it would but creating and managing the database would be the problem? I may play around with it this weekend to see what happens unless you know for sure. We're also looking at building some iOS apps and would like to use LightSpeed to stay consistent with the rest of our code base. |

I dont know for sure, but my understanding is that you are not able to link external assemblies in to the project (rather you need to have source for all aspects of the project which are going to be compiled). So referencing LightSpeed would not be possible, and likewise LightSpeed referencing an external assembly for use as a data provider would not be possible.

Was also curious about this. I think it would be really cool to be able to use LightSpeed to model the DAL and know how to write to SQLite on an iOS device using MonoTouch to build the native code incorporating all the LightSpeed "magic". In my opinion, it would be a great selling point for LightSpeed. |

I'll throw my vote in for this feature as well. I'd like to be able to reuse my SQL Server - .NET entities in a MonoTouch - SQLite app. Has anyone with the source code license tried to build LS for the MonoTouch profile? Or is this even allowed? |

I too would love to use LS with MonoTouch |

Thanks for the feedback all, we certainly have plans to try and make the core of LightSpeed more lightweight in the future to allow for better portability so this is definitely on our radar! :)
