You cannot blame them for making progressions. .Net 2.0 is not something that surprisingly came up yesterday. There were public betas available for *quite* some time. Draw your own conclusions from D.Net not having 2.0 support at this time.

If you are a .Net Developer, you should chose your tools carefully to be up to date.
I switched for .Net dev to VS.Net after getting mad upon my stupitity (I was dump enough to actually buy D8!).
It's been a while since and I won't look back again.
Now I even have an ObjectPascal inside VS, so I don't have to deal with missing metaclasses, virtual constructors etc. in C# anymore. :-)

I hope for you and any other developer being in the same position, that Borland changes its point about adding 2.0 for Dexter, I really do.
If not, you have two choices left (IMHO): Forget about this cool managed API for SQL 2005 or move to another development tool. (Which also intergates pretty well with SQL2005 ;-) )

I know, within the next hours there will be plenty of answers tearing my post apart. But maybe I could be at least of some help...
