    <p>I am reading up about linking native libraries into MonoTouch, specifically this documentation:</p> <p><a href="http://monotouch.net/Documentation/Linking_Native_Libraries" rel="nofollow">http://monotouch.net/Documentation/Linking_Native_Libraries</a></p> <p>Here it describes linking to C libraries. Is it also possible to link to C++ libraries from MonoTouch? I am very new to MonoTouch and particularly to importing libraries, so I would appreciate any advice about problems I may face trying to import a C++ library, if this is indeed possible. Would wrapping the C++ library in an Objective-C library and then using btouch to import this be a good route to take? Or is there an easier approach? Bearing in mind that my knowledge of C++ (and Objective-C for that matter) can best be described as "dangerous". ;)</p> <p>The reason that I ask is that I am needing to make use of a C++ API from Sybase to access their Ultralite database. I have managed to get a sample application that accesses the Ultralite C++ API working in Xcode, with Objective-C. But now I am trying to port this sample to MonoTouch. The sample application can be found here:</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/BruceHill/Ultralite-Names-Sample-ObjC" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/BruceHill/Ultralite-Names-Sample-ObjC</a></p> <p>The Sybase documentation for Xcode mentions the following, with reference to using the API in Xcode:</p> <p><i>This tutorial uses the UltraLite C++ API. In order to eliminate the need to cast to C types, compile the source as C++. To compile the project as C++:</p> <ol> <li>In the Search in Build Settings box, enter Compile Sources As.</li> <li>Choose Objective-C++ from the options in the Value field </i></li> </ol> <p>What are the implications of this for working with this API in MonoTouch?</p>

    1. CODid you happen to get further with this? I've build the C stubs and C# object wrappers using SWIG and am just trying to get the linking with MonoTouch working at the moment, but if you've solved all this already I wouldn't mind taking a look.

    2. COHi Kenny. Yes, I did get this working a long time ago. I will look at getting the source onto github so you can take a look.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
