Question

I am new to iPad development. I have created two or three iPad applications in Objective C using Xcode 4. Now I want to create iPad applications in MonoDevelop tool using C#.

I want to create a basic database project, for that I need a basic tutorial, which uses a SQLite database. I searched on Google, but I didn’t got any tutorial.

Answer 1

To access sqlite you have plenty of options, like

1. http://code.google.com/p/sqlite-net/ very useful and my prefered method
2. System.Data and Mono.Data.SQLite http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/advanced_topics/system.data
3. EntityFramework for Mono http://www.taimila.com/entify/index.php (don’t know if it is still in development)
4. Vici Cool Storage Here is a nice blog post about it http://blog.activa.be/index.php/2010/02/vici-coolstorage-orm-on-monotouch-made-simple/ and Vici’s page http://viciproject.com/wiki/projects/coolstorage/home

and many others even Apple’s CoreData see (http://www.sgmunn.com/?p=1) but i guess any of the above options is easier that that.

hope this helps to get you started
