[hisystems]

Add support for using the library from a an iOS device.

As of April 2012, MONO only supports the features available that were available with the VB8 compiler (VS 2005). Unfortunately, there are a number of features (i.e. lambda expressions) that the library utilises that require the VB10 compiler. Therefore, at this stage the MONO environment cannot be supported.

The only alternative would be to perhaps port the source code to C# as apparently the feature set for C# is much better and sees more active support and updates.

Attempted using compiled DatabaseObjects.dll from MonoDevelop on OSX without any success. Appears that the System.Data.OleDb provider only works on Linux http://www.mono-project.com/OLE_DB.

Should attempt using a MySQL connection on OSX to determine whether that is supported from Mono.

Pre-decessor: Migrate from VB.NET to C#. This will allow the library to be utilised on other platforms, in particular Mono.

Should updated website re SQLite and MonoTouch support.
