Rajan - your demo shows UniObjects Toolkit for DotNet at version 1.2.0 and I'm eager to check this out, but searching the Rocket website the latest version available for download is UO v1.1.1 . Is there a way to get the newer bits?

Please note that U2NETDK v1.2.0 has been released and is no longer in beta. To use the Visual Studio Add-Ins you must acquire a license from your software provider. The ADO.NET provider and native API (formerly UO.NET) are available at no cost. U2askus@rocketsoftware.com is a good email for general product information; if you have a support maintenance contract with Rocket Software, the email is u2support@rocketsoftware.com. If you obtain your maintenance from an ISV or distributor, you would contact them for support.
