VS.NET Express Edition

I began evaluating the new VS.NET 2005 Express for C#. I ran into the first road block when I try to connect to an existing SQL 2000 server. Apparantly the express edition doesn't allow for connecting to other databases through the UI. If I want to connect by coding, thankfully it allows it.

Then I bumped into the following problem when I tried adding a Table to a dataset.
Even after 5 years of .NET, looks like the IDispatch interface still survives.
