Pretty sure I fixed this bug, are you using a recent snapshot?

This is actually an issue with the parser working on untitled files, if
you save the file, it should be working. This has also gotten far better
in more recent snapshots.

This should be fixed I think, please test with a recent snapshot.

Again, should be fixed in a recent snapshot :)

The first is being worked on as I type this, and the second is actually
a gdl-dock bug, something we are hoping to have resolved, most likely
not in time for the release, but hopefully as soon as possible.

You have to add System.Data as a project reference.

Again, the recent snapshot question.

You might have noticed a theme, we have been doing a lot of bugfixing,
and man of these problems are fixing in the newer snapshots.

Can you update and let me know if these still happen. If you can do that
sooner rather than later, it would be a huge help.
