I'm writing a C# Form Application that returns sets of data from SQL Servers.
I want to use the cool data connection interfaces that VS 2005 has, but I get
the message that I need to use 2000 or 2005 server instead. Is there another
driver I could implement to take advantage of this? I'm assuming that I could
still just code this behind and use a standard connection string, but I was
just curious since I'm returning special types of datasets and not just the
simple "SELECT * FROM Table" query.

BTW please don't reply with "Upgrade to 2000 or 05", because apparently this
is a huge database that needs this legacy software on it. Not sure why, but I
just work here.

Nevermind.. solved it myself.
