Great message, Chad -- exactly the kind of stuff I've been looking

Thanks. Do you guys want me to start on serious IDE faults regarding
..NET now? :)

I'm not talking about bugs - but serious "misunderstandings" about how
certain things should work - and how they have lead to some parts being
nearly useless.

I havent tried this in 2006 - but I'm told its unchanged.

Consume a webservice that exposes a typed dataset. Delphi imports it
ok. But now try to drop it on a form - VCL or Winform. Cant? Ok so next
step. Winforms has the designers for binding to datasets. But you cant
drop a typed on on a form - and untyped ones, well uh they dont have
the info needed for binding. :) So unless you manually load an XML file
or something.. which is not the normal way.....

In VS - its simple. Drop the consumed dataset - bind away...
