Hi. I have created an app for Windows tablets using C#, LLBLGen Pro / Adapter / QuerySpec, and SQL CE 4. Now, I am being asked about a version for Android tablets. I'm thinking I would use Xamarin because most of my C# code will port easily. The open question is what to do about the data access layer. I did not see anything recent here on the forums about Xamarin or Mono support. If LLBL is not appropriate for this development, can you suggest a different ORM? I'd rather not switch since I've been using LLBL since v2.1.

Your thoughts?

Regards,

Arthur

Our runtime runs on Mono, but not on mobile platforms, as there are no DBs other than sqlite on mobile platforms ( and we don't support sqlite). So I don't know what db you're going to use on android, but it's likely one we don't support simple_smile We also don't support mobile platforms as we only support the full .NET stack (which is equal to mono).
