[Mono-list] .dll Data Provider - Can do?

[byteman]

First, please excuse the cross posting, but I didn't get a nibble in the
asp.net section.

Exploring mono  linux  apache as a possibility for hosting a low volume
app that reads and writes foxpro data files.  On the windows side, it
requires the vfpoledb.dll provider.  Other than that, it's a fairly straight
forward asp.net 2.0 application utilizing standard controls, etc.

Should this run on mono / apache / linux?  If so, can someone point me
towards documentation that would show me how to handle the data provider?

Is vfpoledb.dll a managed assembly?  If not, then the application will
not run natively on Linux unless there is a Linux-native version of
this library available.

If it is a managed assembly then run it through MoMA
http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA and see what the results say.
