Hello,<br><br>I&#39;m working on a C#/.NET client library to connect to a MonetDB server.&nbsp; I&#39;ve mapped most of the libMapi.dll api calls so that I can call the C library from .NET but this presents a few problems:<br><br>
1. There&#39;s a performance penalty to interface native code libraries to .NET<br>2. There&#39;s a lot of overhead of marshaling UTF8 strings between .NET and the C library, and potential problems with NULL parameters.<br>
3. There&#39;s a portability problem with using the native libraries (trouble deploying to the Mono runtime)<br><br>I think the client library would be better off implementing the MAPI wire protocol rather than interfacing with the C library, but I cannot find any documents that detail the protocol.&nbsp; Is there somewhere this is published, or did I just not Google the right stuff?
<br><br>Also if anyone is interested in giving me a hand you can find the Google Code workspace of the aforementioned project at this link: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/monetdb-net/">http://code.google.com/p/monetdb-net/
