Implemented !=3D can be used with
The thing is that I believe that you could find a libpq.dll from the win32
postgresql port, but, you're using V .Net, and so, you should use a .Net
data provider, thus, npgsql, which is just that. If you get npgsql, you'll
have a nice dll you can add to your project's references, and then,=20
using Npgsql;
if you use C#, or in your case, well, hum, I'm not quite good enough with
visual studio to tell you how to use a dll with your project, but it must
be possible in a way or another.
