Oh, you certainly can use Npgsql in your code in VS.NET but there
doesn't seem to be a way to use the integrated Server Explorer to view
/ manage a PosgreSQL DB.  But, as Madras stated, perhaps there's a
viable commercial option.

Of course there's always pgadmin if you can get by without the need of
admining from the IDE.
