New data types in SQL Server 2005

[Roy]

SQL Server 2005 has some new data types like XML, varchar(MAX). Are they
supported in Visual Studio 2003 and 2005?

Roy,

In VS.NET 2003, the varchar(MAX) is supported. This is really just a
varchar column with a size of 8000, I believe. It's no different. The XML
data type is not supported, I believe, since VS.NET 2003 has no clue how to
support it.

VS.NET 2005 should have some support for the XML data type.

Hope this helps.
