about your problem with the odbc... sounds weird i used the vs.net
(not 2005 i don't remember de version, it was a year ago or maybe two
:) and i use the odbc and odbc .net data provider without problems...
maybe a bug new in vs.net 2005 or maybe a new "behaviour", who
knows...

have you tried the npgsql (.Net Data Provider for Pgsql), you can find
it in pgfoundry.org
