Perhaps you should try on the npgsql list instead? Try filing a bug/support request here: http://pgfoundry.org/projects/npgsql/ or posting in the forums linked to off that page. It looks like the npgsql folks primarily use forums and the tracker for user support. Sorry I can't help you further, but I don't do .NET. I wouldn't mind learning, but access to the various "technologies" is cripplingly expensive or (for the express editions) painfully and cripplingly limited. That's partly the reason for the relative antipathy toward the Windows platform that you have sarcastically observed. It's just no fun to work on as a solo, independent developer, because everything that's not $omfgwtf is crippleware. For example, Microsoft have removed the ability to attach a debugger to an already-running process from MSVC++ Express 2010. 2008 used to support it. Since neither can open crash dump files or be installed as a post-mortem debugger either, you get to have fun with windbg. With things like that, it's little surprise that many people here loathe working with and supporting Windows platforms, when the tools are deliberately crippled for anyone not working under a moneyed-up corporate umbrella. Microsoft isn't handing MSDN subscriptions out to Pg users/contributors/developers, unsurprisingly, so it's necessary to drop a pile of personal money on MS dev tools or go lacking. Most go lacking, and find getting involved in Windows-based development pretty unappealing as a consequence. I actually like MSVC++'s debugger a lot, for what it's worth. It's just annoying that Microsoft only recognises two classes of user - "student" and "corporate employee with MSDN". Independent/open source developers do not exist on their radar and do not deserve access to decent tools. -- Craig Ringer Tech-related writing: http://soapyfrogs.blogspot.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
