Mono
Mono is open source cross platform implementation of .Net. I am using Mono in Ubuntu 10.10.
The preferred way to develop Mono in Linux is using MonoDevelop. MonoDevelop is a Mono IDE.
First let's see how to develop Console Application in Mono.
Once you have installed Mono you can go to the Terminal by going to Application, Accessories and select Teminal. The mono C# compiler is mcs.
class Hello
{
public static void Main()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Shalvin");
}
}
So type mcs
Once it is compiler you can access the exe using
mono

Windows Forms
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class frmHello : Form
{
public static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new frmHello());
}
}

Ado .Net DataSet and WPF
If an element uses a binding expression and its DataContext property is null the element continues its search up the element tree. This search continues until the element finds a data object or reaches the toplevel container, which is the user control that represents the page.
DataSet is an offline disconnected data store. A DataSet can be constructed using the Fill method of SqlDataAdapter.
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
SqlConnection cnn;
SqlDataAdapter da;
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
cnn = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Integrated Security=sspi;Initial catalog=AirLines");
da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Location", cnn);
da.Fill(ds, "Loc");
LayoutRoot.DataContext = ds.Tables["Loc"];
}
<Grid Name="LayoutRoot">
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding}"
DisplayMemberPath="LocationName"
Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="listBox1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" />
</Grid>
Binding to DataGrid
<Grid Name="LayoutRoot">
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="True" Height="150" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="17,13,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="325" />
</Grid>
WPF DataGrid Custom Columns
<Grid Name="LayoutRoot">
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="42,12,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" Width="296">
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Serial No" Binding="{Binding LocationId}" />
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Location Name" Binding="{Binding LocationName}" />
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Latitude" Binding="{Binding Latitude}" />
<DataGridTextColumn Header="Longitude" Binding="{Binding Longitude}" />
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
</Grid>
{Binding LocationName} is the shorthand to {Binding Path=LocationName}
